I and my passengers are Covid-free, but are driving through a virus hotspot, and the windows will remain shut.  How should we set the heating/ ventilation/aircon to minimise risk from the viruses outside?  Recirculation?  Fresh air?  Air con on or off?  Air Care (which I’ve never understood) on or off?  Thanks in advance.

Do not drive through Covid Hotspots, drive around them.

 

Recirculation will obviously help as it shouldn't pull any air (or viruses) from outside. However, the car will only run like this for an amount of time before drawing fresh air in to keep you alive.

 

In the real world, you're very unlikely to catch the virus outside, even less so with the short contact times you're looking at during a typical drive. Especially as your profile pic suggests you've been vaccinated. At least assuming you don't have an 'infected' climb on your bonnet and start coughing towards the cabin air inlet

 

If you're truly worried, take a different route or don't make the journey...

To be sure it would be advisable to augment the foil hat with one of these:

TBH I was so sure it was trolling that I didn’t even follow the links.

You! not the link.

Unless your vehicle has full NBC (or CBRN) protective measures, including oxygen recycling systems, there is no setting that will help you.

Accept your fate and drive on through.

 

Based on your profile pic, you should have already had your vaccinations anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.

 

/thread.

Recirc mode must be better as long as switched on before hot zone.

Employ an assistant to shrink wrap the car once you're in it. When you reach your destination, alight via sunroof. 

Install a positive pressure air system fed from medical air tanks, so that air only ever bleeds out of your car into the environment...

ak-choo-ally...

...research has shown that tinfoil hats can increase the concentration of microwave energy gathered so by wearing on you are helping the mind control signals be even more effective....

Don't talk crap George you have to drive over or under them!

Covis-19 is too fat to fly and poor at tunnelling but good at turning left and right
