As someone who spent years homeless, this is sort of a hoot:

According to the second airport official, Ziebat has mostly spent the last 54 days reading magazines and newspapers, talking to his friends and family over the phone, eating at some of the fast food outlets still in operation within the terminal, interacting with housekeeping and security staff, taking walks within the transit area, and using the airport’s washrooms and toilets. Authorities also provided him with a recliner, mosquito net, toothpaste, food and other basic essentials.

“He told officials that he can manage his expenses. He sleeps on the beds, benches, on the floors, wherever he feels like. He is alone in the transit area as it is not being used because the airport is closed for passengers,” said the second officer.

Gosh, I wish my life had been that good when everything went completely to hell. Sounds fairly cushy to me.

Not to compare, but I spent a couple days at an airport stranded, sleeping on my mattress and a sleeping bag. It was fairly comfortable with wifi, toilets, and other basics available at no cost or trouble. It kinda made me realize that it serves the purpose of someone in a situation like that. Lack of sun wore me out with 24/7 artificial lights though.

I was wondering if he could get access to the executive lounges. I'd work hard to find a connection to get in one. Some have hot showers

That's good information. I hope he is getting access to hot showers. I think that's a reasonable request and can be justified on the basis of "there's a pandemic on and it's important germ control."
