Four Seasons Hotel offers New York City medical workers free rooms so they don't infect their families with coronavirus

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic in New York City may no longer need to worry about long commutes and potentially infecting their families. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday that the Four Seasons Hotel in midtown has offered to house medical personnel for free.

The Four Seasons on East 57th Street closed to the public last Friday and won't take any reservations until at least April 15. A number of hospitals are relatively close to the five-star luxury hotel, including Bellevue, NYU Langone, Weill Cornell Medical Center and Mount Sinai.

"Our health care workers are working tirelessly on the front lines of this crisis," said Ty Warner, the chairman of the hotel's corporate owner, in a statement to WCBS.

"Many of those working in New York City have to travel long distances to and from their homes after putting in 18-hour days. They need a place close to work where they can rest and regenerate. I heard Governor Cuomo's call to action during one of his press conferences, and there was no other option for us but do whatever we could to help."

"The first of many hotels we hope will make their rooms available," Cuomo said in a tweet.

1. Why isn't Trump doing this? He's rich and it will make him look good to his followers. n/t

2. He has zero empathy or care for anyone in the world but himself.

He has never done one good thing, never in his entire misbegotten fucked up life of privilege has he done anything for anyone that didn't benefit himself. He is the worst person in the world.
