In these big muti story buildings have their air recirculated thru-out the whole building by the central air conditioning. Every room doesn't have a separate air unit there is one large unit on the roof. Wouldn't the virus be able to pass from one room to the next from that air system.

It's possible but not likely in a central building unit you describe because filters are in place. Air is not just recirculated either as the air is constantly monitored and outside air is mixed in depending on a number of factors and how sophisticated the system is. I have seen ones, especially since Legionaries disease was discovered, that have UV light or inject disinfectant into the air stream.
It's been a few years but most every hotel like Hampton, Hyatt, Wyndham I stayed at when working on the road had it's own air handler system in the wall. It was conditioning recirculated or outside air only for that room. Again, intake filters are in place. When a guest checks in the HVAC unit is notified to adjust room conditions so by the time he arrives it's up and running.Last edited by Wicked ace; 05-09-2020 at 11:49 AM.

Most of those NYC buildings don't need the AC to help move it around. The elevator is wildly effective. As are are the door knobs, any "choke point" putting lots of people in close spaces (stairways, doorways, etc). I'm sure some do pump the air between units, and yes, that would also be a big issue, but, honestly, they don't need the help, the building itself, and the way it's build for high density, will get the job done just fine without the AC to help it.
