[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have an issue with maintaining quarantine sites. I have an issue with how these sites were apparently operated and disclosed. But the math seems off on the DCist story.

If DC is paying the Days Inn $125 a night for 150 room (they probably are having to pay for additional space for admin and cleaning etc, but we are just going for easy math here)

$125 X 150 rooms = $18,750 a night

90 day contracts at a time

$18,750 X 90 days = $1,687,500

Times five locations and DC is burning through almost $10,000,000 every 90 days on this program, which almost certainly will be renewed.  Meanwhile, the convention center, at no cost, sits empty.  And the mayor wonders why Congress didn’t send us more money?[/quote]

Don't forget about the security costs. And possibly meals.

I happened to drop some things at the VanNess Zips yesterday (still open) and drove by the Days Inn. Nothing unusual but I did notice a uniformed security guard. [/quote]
