This came up as a N-TV news quarantine discussion item today.
The Marburger Bund Doctor's Union came to suggest that if you came to be tested 'positive', you leave where you are, and go immediately to a hotel room (not going home or to your apartment).
Logic here? Lets say a family of four live in a 90 square meter apartment. Person #1 is identified as positive. By the standards in place....person #1 must return home, and persons #2, #3, and #4 must now leave where they are, and return home....whether they have the virus or not.
Then in their logic with this hotel idea....the state would pay for the isolation period/quarantine time in the hotel. Cost? Well....this wasn't openly discussed but I would note that if you went to a standard German hotel (2-to-3 star), and said that breakfast/lunch/dinner (with beverages) must be served in the room....total cost per day would be 125 to 140 Euro. Total cost? Over 1,500 Euro (figure $1,850 roughly).
Now, the things left out of this crazy idea? Which hotels would volunteer to be quarantine hotels? I can't imagine any hotel owner volunteering for this.
I would suggest as well....this only works for adults....I wouldn't send off some teenager or 12-year-old kid to a hotel.
The odds that this will be discussed? I'd put the odds at 5-percent. In a single parent family? It's a total mess to develop this strategy.
