This was my guess. Good for them for providing PPE, they also need to treat the trash as medical waste. Blue gloves throwin in the dumster loose is just unacceptable.


Worse are blue gloves just discarded on sidewalks and the streets. People on the vicinity of the Daze-in are reporting that!

The Post did a story about this very block and it’s struggles. And just two weeks later the mayor decides to drop a quarantine shelter on them? She just drove the nail into the coffin of half a dozen small businesses. Madness.

Bowser and Cheh also despise each other. I’m not Cheh’s biggest fan (because of her know-it-all attitude and tendency to tune out views with which she disagrees). But as against Bowser, I stand squarely with Cheh.

Bowser really has it out for that neighborhood. First the Sedgwick Gardens fiasco. Now this.

I thought patients were being sent to the convention center?

If one a day is the PPE rule then you need to have a rule about staying in the hotel. That might require that the service provider contract meals for the staff so that they do not need to leave the premises during the work day.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know who has been contracted to run the Days Inn site on Connecticut? Hopefully not the people running the new Ward 3 Family Shelter. I think they are Friendship Place, who have a very good reputation.


We hope that is is a health care provider with a solid track record of following protocols. But would it surprise you if it’s some LLC formed by someone who knows someone?


So, no it would not surprise me at all, but I also don't think that the quarantine site needs to be run by a health care provider.

There are any number of businesses that do specialty cleaning and hazmat preparations. Really this job just needs a provider who can provide meticulous access control and employees who know how to use PPE. There probably needs to be a cleaning of common spaces twice a day and a hazmat cleaning of the rooms between occupants. They also need to be able to cater meals for the occupants, but the mechanism to serve those meals would not be that difficult for a hazmat company to implement. Maybe need a nurse on premises. As with any business, the devil would be in the details. But half of the fight is simply identifying those details. It does not sound like whoever is running the Days Inn has done that level of planning.

Heck, it is probably just the poor Days Inn staff.

... more likely an obscure L.L.C. with a “corporate office” registered at a home address in Landover.

Hate to say it, but the mayor is dumber than a door knob and her key staff are not much better.

Please stop linking to Popville. The information provided in this post is incorrect, as is the information in many of his posts because he's far too lazy to fact-check.


Thanks, Bowser.
