[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So based on the Days Inn ownership statement and having heard nothing from DC city government (shocking I know), there is actually no reason to expect that there is a behavioral health expert at the hotel or anybody else from the DC department of health. If there had been any sort of DC official present, I have no doubt that they would have at least had access to safe practices which they could refer the hotel to.

This sounds more like a case of DC Government stupidity. What is the quote? Never ascribe to malice what can be plainly explained by incompetence. [/quote]

If they are using PPE's and cleaning, there isn't much more that can be done.  All families are assigned a worker, but they probably are just doing phone check ins.  Usually the families have to do things like drug testing, job search, etc. but none of that is probably going on right now and everyone is on survival mode.[/quote]

No, if it is a quarantine site, there is more that the city can and should do. This days in is not being operated as a shelter. It is being operated as a quarantine site. With that there should come a clear set of DC government guidelines: how long is quarantine valid for, how do I get off of quarantine, how do I reschedule previously committed to appointments?

Look, this is easy stuff. Some people are trying to make it sound difficult but any sort of whole of government solution should have been able to knock out a reasonable solution for the Days Inn in an afternoon.

Whoever mentioned National Guard, they could have figured this out in a couple of hours. [/quote]
