What about Alcatraz? Or Molokai?

Why don't they use college dorm rooms.

Nobody is going to college now and there must be thousands of empty rooms.

Sheesh, I want the whole POF family quarantined there. I've dreamt of going there for years.

Why WAS Asilomar selected as a quarantine site? Strange

I lived in Seaside when stationed at the Presidio in 1985. That was a hole then.

"Asilomar is a derivation of the Spanish phrase asilo al mar, meaning asylum or refuge by the sea."

Sounds perfect.

Do what China did - use the empty hotels and motels.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

College dorms are empty.

In Spring of 1989, in the last year of Family Practice residency, all 10 of us in 3rd year of residency stayed at Asilomar for a weekend to present our research projects. The lucky faculty of the residency got to cover the hospital for us that weekend.

Asilomar was rustic, peaceful, and a welcome break from hospital duties. I remember it as a nice place. The food was good. Ocean breeze was relaxing.

We all got a plaque with our name on it that said something like ‘Presented at Resident’s Research Conference, Asilomar March (?) 1989”

I attended a conference at Asilomar in December, 1968. Nice place, but it was overcast and misty pretty much the whole three days I was there. But, it’s near Monterey and the ocean, so that’s to be expected.

I thought Asilomar was the new anti-viral drug.
