Oh, this transmission was in Hong Kong.
Well, to be fair, something similar actually happened once during SARS in 2003, infecting quite a bunch of people in a building and, as far as I remember, killed a few.
This time, regardless of how the Carrie Lam administration should be overthrown, they acted quickly for this case and evacuated the building immediately, which admittedly saved quite some people.
The pipe isn't that dangerous. We all live by at least some of them and we have ways to prevent viruses spreading through them (namely, keeping some water in the U-shape section). However, certain buildings' (especially public housing estates') design of the pipes might have let viruses spreadable.

I get that this is the Politics Forum. But at the end of the day, the Chinese officials are facing a monumental task. There was a little piece of the news that most missed. A lady in an apartment building infected someone below her by 10 stories because of an "uncapped pipe". Now I do not know if this is true but the Chinese media is reporting it is. If true can you get your mind around just how dangerous this virus really is?

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter His enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God, save us all!
