front page of the times, hotel rooms cost more when booked on travel sites.hear this actually because you assume if you book through something like booking .com or experia, they are all comparing with each other and trying to get you to decent deal, but this is a no. the interesting thing here is that many people think they are being clever by going onto the hotel's own website to see what they are offering, but there is a deal in the background with the hotel saying that the hotel is not allowed to offer a cheaper price than these websites. so you think you are checking with the hotel but it is not the best price they will offer. but if you pick up the phone you will get better deal. i think it says about our society as well, people don't like being on the phone. it is also time—consuming, and if it isa also time—consuming, and if it is a foreign language, going on the website is so much quicker. you can do it anywhere, and not necessarily have to have a phone conversation. we think we are saving money and being efficient, it turns out we are just being effi

and different alternatives for them, perhaps providing them with hotel vouchers or some of the hotelms that i mentioned for the other populations because of the vulnerable nature of their situation and their age and other health conditions. >> so we don't currently have any plans to address that population? >> street population that is possibly vulnerable? we do not. well, planning is one thing and we could think about plans in terms of executing that plan, no, we have not begun to execute a plan to get vulnerable 65 plus year old people off the streets and into shelter. >> and then the 3,500 units or beds or independent units with independent bathrooms, how did you come up with that number if there's 19,000 people -- >> so i'll tell you. so the -- we used a range, an onset range with the department of public health. and it's ranged from .07% of the population to 5.8%, ballparking it, i could look it up but the decimal is not germane. 5.8% of 19,000 is about 1,700. but we put sort of a vulnerable population kicker on that 5%, 5 plus percent. and assuming that the rates can spread in

those hotels well over 2,000 rooms of hotels that have expressed interest, the next phase will be our health and human services teams assessing the ability of those hotels for the population that needs to be quarantined. the second group of individuals that we want to provide housing for hotel rooms are of course first responders and we don't want our healthcare workers who are on the front lines to go home and potentially infect others and be infected in their communities and not able to work and setting up hotels for them as well and hotels from the council will be suitable for them as well. those rooms would actually be in addition to the 3500 we have for those who need to be quarantined. then the last housing shelter effort is of course the vulnerable population who are on our streets as well as populations in our existing shelter system. per the cdc and state department of health guidance as well as our local department of public health, we need to create social distancing within our homeless shelters. we have about 2,000 single adults in our shelter systems and navigation center

for whatever reason the room of a hotel is not occupied, it's not only the issue of the hotel.sues with the coffee shop next door, you have issues with taxi drivers, no one is shopping, no one is buying. so the domino effect is significant. that's something that we have to consider. there are no cruises, for instance. more than 1,000 destinations around the world are impacted. if there are no planes, it's the same situation. when you look at the last eight years, one in five jobs in the world that were created was because of travel and tourism, so travel is the backbone of the world economy. if we don't have travel, we have significant impact so we are asking the governments to help us with three different measures. the first measure is to help us to protect the workers, the salaries of those employees, and we have seen already some initiatives like italy paying 80% of the compensation for the workers so that we can survive in the next couple of months. then the second one is we need cash. all of our ceos and also they need to survive, they need cash. we need loans with zero in
