So you’re saying when he renames them the USNS Trump and USNS Donald in honor of his Incredible act of bravery and genius in sending them to LA and NYC, it’ll kind of be appropriate?

Las Vegas car park turned into ‘homeless shelter’
People have criticised Las Vegas authorities for turning a car park into an outdoor sleeping area for homeless people.
Photos of people lying on the ground in painted white boxes - one person per space - have gone viral on social media, with some users questioning why the homeless people weren’t put up in the city’s hotels, which have been closed.
But officials have praised the makeshift sleeping area. Lisa Morris Hibbler, chief community services officer for the city of Las Vegas, told local CBS-affiliate 8 News Now that the boxes were “spaced so that they’re social distancing”.
According to US media, the area was set up as a last-minute makeshift area for the city’s homeless community after someone in one of the main shelters tested positive for coronavirus.
Trump just said “great ship with a thousand rooms” during his presser. lol yup its like the trump taj majal but not as nice.
I mean I’m sure its nice for what it is but people who come aboard thinking this is going to be like a normal hospital setting are going to be horrified. theres no fucking room everyone is going to be packed in like sardines how do you even social distance here

There are about 9 cruise ships in front of the NSW coast in Australia. The government has told them to go back to their ports of origin. The police commisioner said they don’t pay tax here, they don’t employ Australians so we are not going to allow them in. They are registered in the Caribbean and need to go back there. Only people allowed off were urgent medical issues and two pregnent women. They were told to leave a week ago but still haven’t. These cruise lines deserve to go under.
Do they even have enough food and stuff to go back?
Those don’t look makeshift compared to regular homeless encampments. I guess we wouldn’t want to set the precedent of giving them actual housing, because someone might ask why we can’t do that all the time.

Amazing. 150,000 empty rooms surround them and they’re sleeping on the asphalt in little painted boxes smaller than a full sized bed.

Looks like Florida and Sweden are vying for the title of “control group” by letting the virus run wild until its way way way too late.

UK doesn’t give a shit about the homeless either most of the time but at least they’re pretending
Homelessness charity Crisis also welcomed the commitment but said “questions remained” about how it would be achieved and paid for.
but who’s going to pay for it?
This thing has got months and months to run yet and I’m really hoping we come out of the other end as a better society rather than one that just wants to get back to “normal”

That’s fucked up.
The idea is the ship will accept non-coronavirus patients from hospitals. The Navy is well aware that environment isn’t appropriate for disease control.
Sheesh, how do you make the cruise lines look like the good guys?

Um yea I know that. I bet Trump doesn’t even know and surely everyone who lined up to take photos of an old navy boat that’s about to treat people who twist their ankles jogging or whatever haven’t a clue. He doesn’t mention the ship’s role in any of this during these press conference because nobody even bothers to tell him and this entire thing is just a photo op for a moron president to keep him happy.

My company today just confirmed via email that we’re WFH until at least 5/1, so that’s good. Downtown Chicago company.
Stay at home order issued in AZ but our business is, somehow, essential so I’ll be working.
