[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A real “Van Mess”:  Dumpsters at DC Quarantine Site Overflow With Trash

Mayor Bowser and her administration have outdone themselves in the incompetence department, at a DC run COVID facility that is failing to follow basic health and sanitation protocols.  Dumpsters at a previously undisclosed DC quarantine center for symptomatic patients at the Days Inn across Connecticut Ave Ave from Park Van Ness in Northwest overflowed with trash bags of bed linens, gloves, hospital gowns and food waste. A worker still in full PPE went to a local fast food establishment.  Thanks, Bowser.

Wow, that story is pretty crazy. It looks like a case of incomplete planning (of the original COVID quarantine sight no daily trash pick up) and then no oversight or somebody in charge once it had been established (the hotel manager is not responsible for ensuring the running of a quarantine operation. Who was in charge?)

Also, a little concerning that these are simply spread throughout the city by the Health Department I suppose, but the Councilmembers were never told where they were located or how many there were and what their capacity was/is?

This just seems like a very local problem demonstrating once again our great city stumbling doing the basic stuff.[/quote]
