Our safety net hospitals are currently more impacted than other hospitals. Remember, we only have 326 adult ICU beds in the city. Their health is our health. Our health is their health.https://twitter.com/Bob_Wachter/status/1245536551615860742 …

I'm told that the main impediment to getting people into to individual hotel rooms is not that we can't achieve the scale or actually do it -- we can! It's a logistics question of making sure we can get that # of people inside once we're already contracted & paying for the rooms.

Ah OK, here's an answer. FEMA won't reimburse to put every person without housing into a safe, isolated place so SF would have to pay for it itself and is facing a $1.1 to $1.7 billion deficit.https://twitter.com/StreetSheetSF/status/1245812756051136513 …

Epidemics exploit fault lines in our societal structure. I'm assuming the U.S.'s CFR will be much higher and our health systems will be under much more stress because we have a half-million people without housing and lack of universal access to healthcare. We could change this.

big puzzle to me is why few seem to conceive of non-congregate shelter/housing options other than hotels, which have no kitchens, shared hallways, high cost & unsustainable creating state of suspension. Create popup shelter, as done in disasters globally.https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1245774846979497986?s=20 …

Did you suggest this to
@MattHaneySF?
correct that people capable of self-care can’t really care for themselves in a hotel room. They gotta eat! No kitchen means going out for every meal. - 3 more replies
