Just noticed that the 2nd FT Limerick Contest winner/author/rhymer, 3544quebec passed 5K posts earlier in March. Counting backwards, I figure this was the post:
Congratulations (belatedly) - let's see if the limericks follow...

So your suggestion is to not make it easy for people who need to self-isolate because there may be idiots out there who would choose to go to a hotel advertising a service to self-isolators without any regard to the risk to themselves.
Guess what anyone who acts like an idiot in the current situation isn't going to limit their idiocy to choosing to stay at a hotel full of self-isolators. They will be partying on the beach if given a chance. And as others have pointed out in self-isolating the environment in which you self-isolate is pretty important if someone is going to be stuck in a room for 2 weeks. A balcony and a nice view is relevant to the situation.
Next thing people will be criticising the advertising of afternoon and morning teas in the package - "under the circumstances the hotel should only be offering 2 plates of gruel a day"

Only just reached five thousand posts
I've underachieved
But now I'm relieved
Since I can bathe in poetic boasts

Just realized I crossed over the threshold.
I joined Flyertalk at a point in my life where I couldn't imagine being on the road 100 nights a year, and didn't "get" frequent flyer miles.
Now I am one of the Moderators.
A lot sure has changed since then.
Looking forward to another 5,000 posts at least!

I can't believe it took me 10 years to reach 5000 posts on FT, but I made it!
Going to come back and check this thread 10 years from now (July 1, 2030).
