Increasing the number of people per square-foot of floorspace increases disease transmission rates, so a city which imposes a minimum number of square feet per person will be more resistant to pandemics.
The way this is typically implemented is probably not ideal--two people in 50ft^2 rooms is better from this perspective than two people sharing a 100ft^2 room--but there is some legitimate basis for it.", "timestamp": "1520099338"}, {"author": "Andrew", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/929937919832?comment_id=929951043532&reply_comment_id=930097130772", "anchor": "fb-929951043532_930097130772", "service": "fb", "text": "→ My understanding of transmission for most diseases is that it has a lot more to do with shared door knobs than shared open air.
