Something that surprises me is that while family infection has been identified as an important factor to viral transmission to the elderly, we haven't converted hotels into isolation units and given people hotel credits to spend.
- celticninja 7y agohow is a hotel an isolation unit? there are little to no cooking and food storage facilities or others washing facilities in hotel rooms. so your hotel credit now also has to cover 3 meals a day if it is to effectively work as an isolation unit. these must be delivered to residents by someone who could then transmit the disease to lots of elderly at once. these would become defacto old people's homes/care homes but with untrained staff.
- threatofrain 7y agoYoung people would be isolated from their families if sick, and they'd be brought food without contact from staff. Having people cook for themselves is very dubious, so any place that would serve for isolation must also have a kitchen and staff. Staff, boarding, and food -- where would these places be across different cities? Singapore and other nations are doing the same for foreign travelers and citizens. Where are you getting this information that this strategy would turn hotels into untrained elderly care facilities?
