I hear NYU and Columbia's dorms are empty.
- Invictus0 7y agoYeah but renting just one of those dorm rooms would use up more than half of the stimulus budget
- andbberger 7y agoFor a reason. Dorms are shared everything. Not really a great place for isolating people.
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoThey're only shared everything if they're full. Could easily isolate lots of people, just with much lower capacity than the dorms hold in normal times.
- andbberger 7y agoMost dorms have a single shared bathroom per floor.
- nostromo 7y agoIsolation isn't necessary if they're all infected with the same virus.
- beamatronic 7y agoDoes isolation reduce viral load?
- quangio 7y agoI am posting this while sitting in my NYU dorm room. They are kicking students out and will likely become a temporary hospital according to some emails we received.
