Mood Elevator

Friday night in Laguna, as Yuna and I were navigating our way to dinner through shortcuts that included business and residential complexes, we came across this elevator sign near the corner of Forest and 3rd.  What immediately caught my attention was "MAXIMUM 1 PERSON".  WTF??  When the word "maximum" appears anywhere, it's because there must exist a "minimum", and that minimum cannot be zero.

Then, lo and behold, I read the rest of that ill begotten message, which was even more perplexing:  "PHYSICAL DISTANCING IN EFFECT IN ELEVATOR".  Never mind that the entire message was written in caps, which implies yelling, but how can anyone   reconcile "MAXIMUM 1 PERSON" in elevator with physical distancing?  Are we to believe that a person can transmit the COVID-19 to him/herself, and in order to prevent that, this person's infected organs must be physically separated from the rest, and reconverged upon exiting the elevator?!
