Really saddened to hear about your father but very glad to hear he's recovering well.

Your generosity and that of Brian Ingram are to be admired. Quite ironic though that in Brian's case they forced him to close from selling his sandwiches but as long he is giving them away there doesn't seem to be any problem... I guess money is the "real virus" carrier... so I might have to apologize to the management of my local Panera Bread who refused to take "cash" for products sold over the last few weeks.

In my normal course of work I stay at a lot of hotels and have become friends with those folks in different cities. I have spoken to some of them over the last two months and can assure you that, at least the Wyndham, hotels completely sanitize each room after a guest checks out. The ladies at the Wyndham in San Antonio told me that all the furniture comes out of each room and it is all treated and cleaned from top to bottom. They said that is company policy.

Plus there hasn't been much demand for hotel rooms so they have systematically made sure that no room is rented until it has been vacant for at least ten days. That hotel has over 400 rooms and last week they rented out a total of 30 rooms. It is by the airport and the only guests were airline pilots and flight attendants. So chances are you'll get a room that has been empty for quite a while.

The other thing is you might not be getting the "free breakfast" because it will depend on local ordinances or "orders" on "dine in" eating during this covid19 situation.
So go make the trip and be with your father, it will be the best thing you can do.
Until next time,
Sult
