I think that DHHS should commandeer trump's hotels as makeshift hospital wards. He should announce this tomorrow. In the interest of 'doing all he can to help,' this would go a long way towards augmenting hospital wards for the sick. Hell, no one is using those rooms right now. They could be quickly converted, as they usually have one or two beds (like a typical hospital), each with a bathroom and a telly.
Now THAT would be helpful.
