What are cities doing with the homeless?

[Jackson]

Started thinking of San Francisco and their homeless problem.. The streets could be called Virus Avenue! Are they putting them up in those fancy hotels? Are they going to disinfect them first?

Lord, what a mess! I saw some jails are opening the doors because the virus could wipe out the prisoners!
Taking a deep breath!

Homeless New Yorkers at greater risk from COVID-19 | CSNY

4 days ago · Advice to stay at home to slow the spread of COVID-19 isn’t of much help to homeless New Yorkers. Even if they’re in shelter, and not only if they’re out on the street, they are particularly vulnerable to a widespread health crisis. Medical experts say that the homeless are more likely to contract the virus because people in homeless shelters are often in close proximity to one another and unsheltered homeless people may lack regular access to soap and hand sanitizer. And because homeless people tend to face more challenges in obtaining medical care, it is likely they may get sicker or die more often if exposed to the coronavirus. That means questions that many New Yorkers have about the virus – such as where to get tested – become all the more daunting for people without permanent homes.

Imagine being homeless. They have to wander about to find food, to use the bathroom, to try to clean themselves up the best they can. They are the silent majority of this country, forgotten and ignored. Until the proverbial shit hits the fan like it is now. I feel bad for them because not too long ago..I was in the same proverbial boat.

Thank God you made it out.

If this was China, shoot them and burn the bodies. I saw the videos.

This pandemic is awful. Thank God we live in the US! It's hard enough here.

What are cities doing with the homeless?

I understand that when you incinerate them into ash and mix that ash with cement, it makes one HELL of a good concrete for building bridges and highways!

I look at it the other way: just who are the homeless interacting with to get infected in the first place?

• The homeless aren't flying in from China, Italy or Iran.
• The homeless aren't out at big clubs, events or restaurants.
• The homeless aren't working all day shaking hands with and interacting with other people at work!

Corona goes from infected person to person, it's not just floating around in the air blowing in.

Here is what California is doing:

It takes just one homeless person to go to a shelter for a meal and sit next to an Infected person. They bring it back to their buddies on the street, who sit with others....

But where did THAT infected person get it? Were they in China, Spain or Italy? Why are they in a soup kitchen? The homeless don't interact with many people!

I think what is really going on is the fear that the homeless get sick en masse and then become a source of spreading it to a lot of other people THAT MATTER!

Maybe the state ought to just educate these people, find them jobs so they aren't all sleeping together in rags for warmth under a bridge somewhere?

I've met many state social workers. If these people can work and get jobs, anyone can.

In fact, half of them look like they used to be homeless.

They interact with our garbage, though.

You are thinking about victim zero before the pandemic hit. No, it didn't start with an interaction with someone from China. But there were people on that plane that came from China that were coming from Hoboken. And that guy caught it, interacted with dozens of people over the months and one of them possibly gave money to a homeless person. Done! They share the whiskey bottle, a hamburger someone gave them and it goes through the camp like wildfire.
