Anyone in Glasgow?

Stupid question but how is it safer to gather all the homeless in one hotel? Wouldn't this mass gathering increase the risk of spreading covid?

Yes. It's a very stupid question. And no it wouldn't increase the risk, it would probably decrease it.

sometimes there is only one way.

If the homeless have a place its better than what they have now...

it would decrease the risk if the people in the hotel never left, but since they can go in and out, I don't think it would decrease it.

They are hopefully in some sort of managed isolation and being medically monitored so they are far less likely to die from the things that usually kill the homeless.

OK gathering 30 homeless people in a hotel isn't great for social distancing but being fed well and getting some medicine will put them & others at less risk of disease generally.
