That's so sad!

While the situation is terrible, these little cardboard rooms are intriguing. They look to be able to afford inhabitants at least a modicum of privacy and dignity in a terrible circumstance. It seems that emergency services are (unfortunately) quite prepared and practiced at deploying them. I was in the army when we had a very rare circumstance up here in 1998 -an ice storm, to be specific- where people were evacuated from their homes and had to sleep on cots in an open hall. It was all very helter-skelter, and we were called out to do the best we could. This arrangement is leaps and bounds beyond what we could manage. Going to see if I can find out more about this as an emergency measure. Edit: Well, now. Here we are. Positively brilliant bit of design! https://realgaijin.substack.com/p/innovative-cardboard-tents-provide

Apparently they were designed to help stop the spread of disease between people too, Brian. Better than nothing, isn't it.
