City’s street homeless being moved into hotel

City and state officials worked to finalize plans Wednesday to move homeless people off the streets and fill a 155-room hotel in the Central Business District.

The general manager of that hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn-New Orleans French Quarter Downtown on Gravier Street, confirmed the plan was to start moving people in groups of 35 from encampments and house and feed them for the next 30 days, using a mixture of federal, state, local and philanthropic funds.

“We have transitioned our hotel into an intake facility,” said hotel general manager Adam Turni told WWL-TV in an exclusive interview. “We have painter’s tape to designate 6 feet indicators so everybody can keep proper spacing. We're only allowing one individual to use our elevator at a time, we're only allowing so many persons on each floor at a time.”

The hotel is prepared to serve the guests three meals a day, clean their rooms daily and provide laundry service under the deal. He said the National Guard would deliver equipment and other supplies and police would help with security in every floor and at all exits to make sure the homeless guests remain isolated the whole time.

Nice hotel, stayed there many times and paid anywhere from $120- 160 per night. I won’t be surprised when the homeless shit on the walls and burn it down.

It's bad for sure. But not as bad as they're letting on. Trust me.

Just bought a house in avoyelles. My kids here. Live in Bunkie. My ex knows all 5 cases in avoyelles. 3 are at her church. Lone pine assembly

Ya know I have to admit I was thinking along the same lines. I mean I think it's great that they are trying to help and I really hope that it is appreciated and makes a difference. All I can say is the owners are very brave. God Bless Em

There's a story somewhere about a Church that refuses to close and is bringing in like 1000 people. I think they were bussing them in....is that the same Church?

Nothing burgers

The test results seem to be taking a long time to come back here in New Orleans. My friend's dad (88 years old but healthy otherwise) was admitted to a New Orleans Hospital with mild seizures. While there he developed a fever and fluid on his lungs so he was transferred to a COVID-19 unit. 6 days later and there is still no results on his COVID-19 test but he is much more likely to get it being in that unit. It is sad and frustrating.

This was posted on the wall of a Facebook friend today. I hope they don't mind me posting here, just trying to help those who are still not taking it seriously:

"I work for a large hospital system in Louisiana. Usually I transcribe strictly operative reports, as that is my specialty, but as elective surgeries have been cancelled I've been transcribing admission history and physicals to help keep up with the influx of patients. Almost every report I have transcribed today has been for a patient with COVID-19. Most are elderly, but there have been some who are younger and some who have other underlying health issues. This is NO JOKE! These patients are in bad shape and are decompensating quickly. Please...for the vulnerable...STAY THE EFF HOME IF YOU CAN!! I'm not exaggerating. I've been doing this job for 20 years and have seen trends come and go. I can tell you that the cases are starting to come in faster now and there is a very real danger of the hospital system being overwhelmed. This is NOT just another cold or flu. Please take the warnings very seriously. Please stay safe and take care, all of you!"

I don't think it makes sense either...I mean countries are shutting down. This is unprecedented. There has to be more that they are not telling us. This thing has to be really bad and the numbers that they have reported really wrong. We know that China's numbers are not accurate.

Regardless of the what "it" is or isn't....IT is happening now. If not the virus... the results of the virus. Shelves are still bare or lean, businesses are closed, some kids are not getting to experience their Senior year and graduate, weddings are being cancelled, jobs are being lost

It's bad for sure. But not as bad as they're letting on. Trust me.

I know. I wish we could send a journalist to sit in that room and ask if any of them know anything about Louisiana?
