Randi: "We pretty much said we needed ventilation, because if you don't have good ventilation..."
More Randi: "...in an airborne disease, you're not going to be able to dissipate the airborne disease...The science we were seeing was that 6 feet and masks would be the basic protocols we needed. That's the science that we saw."
