Hotels may take on patient overload
Hotels have been asked to accept hospital patients when COVID-19 cases fill hospital beds. CBC says these will not be COVID-19 cases while CTV says they’ll be accepting “minor and non‑infectious cases of COVID-19” which is just odd.

What about those empty Concordia dorms?

Who knows what’s under discussion. There may be reasons some rooms are suitable (big enough for hospital beds, supplied with enough current for devices, provided with bathrooms) and some not.

How about all those illegal AirBnBs. Emergency expropriation would kill 2 birds with one stone.

The thing about the AirBnBs is they’re scattered. Ideally, at least some landlords are going to find it wiser in the long run to have conventional tenants again.
