The Isolation and Quarantine (I&Q) Section works to decompress hospitals by supporting local and state isolation and quarantine, Alternate Care Facility (ACF), and patient transport (EMS) by partnering with local governments (Tribes, Counties, Cities) and communities, state agencies, and other entities in the event of an emergency.

People who test positive for COVID-19 or who are exposed to someone who tests positive are asked to isolate or quarantine (I & Q) away from other people for 10 to 14 days in order to reduce risk of transmitting the virus to others. Most people are able to isolate or quarantine in their own homes. In Washington State, providing for I & Q is the responsibility of local jurisdictions.
 
The state Isolation and Quarantine facility was created for individuals who are not Washington residents but are traveling in our state and test positive for COVID-19 or who have been exposed to someone who tests positive and do not have a residence or other location in which to spend their 10-14 day isolation or quarantine period.
 
Our state facility operates from within a motel in Lewis County.  Our team provide a number of different services for our guests. Team members provide transportation to and from the facility in vans that have been altered to separate air flow to protect the driver. There is a nurse on staff who checks guest vitals multiple times per day to ensure that guests whose condition worsens get timely transport to a medical facility for care. Another team member will accompany the nurse on their rounds and take notes for the nurse. Team members provide for all aspects of the guest’s stay to include providing laundry services, delivering hygiene products, delivering ready-made foods or microwaveable foods to the guests...

So... The state of washington is going to take people who travel to washington and are expososed or are diagnosed with covid into a "quarantine hotel". How could this go wrong?

So if your flight has a layover in Washington State and you are “exposed” to Covid, do you get a free stay at the quarantine hotel?

Leper colonies. Been done before. Didn’t work.

When the next virus or variant that comes along with an R naught of 10, and 70% lethal...the people will be insisting on such teams and protocols.

And it will come, likely courtesy of China.

Come on, seriously? Why not just require that the drivers are vaccinated? Because it doesn't work? Then why require that anyone be vaccinated? Because you can?

So glad I moved out of that idiot factory. So glad.

Thanks for telling us your team’s plans, Mr. Gates.

I'm going to say you are wrong in what you posted, and correct it:

And it will come, likely courtesy of China Faucci

[Mariner]

And you’ll be at the head of the line on such insistence.

This is just a ploy to get Federal funds for $MMM (millions of dollars) and spend $M on the original purpose. The purpose is to break the economy of Washington and the US.

flight has a layover in Washington State

Serious question here, but if you never leave the airport, does the state have actual jurisdiction there? I didn't think so. Unless some alphabet agency just turns you over.

I guess you could just claim to be an illegal alien then they would leave you alone. /s

Because it doesn't work?

If it doesn't prevent Covid, what does it do? That is the unanswered question isn't it. Will we go full Aussie lockdown or will we resist?
