NJ is one of the states more heavily affected by COVID-19. My girlfriend
went to the ER with possible symptoms, but was discharged (feeling quite a
bit better) with medications. She WAS told to self-quarantine for 2 weeks
(which means me, too) because some of her symptoms are consistent with
COVID-19. (If we had antigen TESTS, we'd know! Thankyouverymuch CDC!)
However, that's incidental to my reasoning for posting.
Driving up to the hospital to pick her up, I noticed two or three various
camper vans/Winnebagoes set up on the outskirts of the hospital parking
lot. I didn't inquire, but it seems obvious to me that some medical staff
probably brought them so they wouldn't have to go home to their families --
risking infecting the -- between shifts.
So here's my thought: I'll bet there are a lot of such "mobile homes" out
there underutilized. Maybe they could be loaned to hospitals as crash pads
for the medical staff. There certainly are lots of good reasons NOT to do
this, but maybe some owners will decide the reasons TO do it outweigh those.
I lack such a vehicle of my own, so cannot offer my own. Sorry to come
across as volunteering other people's stuff, but nobody is obligated and
some might simply not have thought of it.
