There's a meme going around about the current COVID-19 coronavirus and the homeless.
It's a bitter reminder of how sympathy and feelings aren't the best approaches to public health.
he meme reads, "Odd that the same leftists who let people poop on the streets, throw away used needles to step on and demand open borders are suddenly concerned about disease."
These are all unsafe things happening in homeless encampments in cities run by West Coast liberals. From LA to San Francisco, to Portland and Seattle, it's a Petrie dish on the street. In San Francisco, people are hired at more than $100 thousand per year to clean up human waste on the street.
Enter the coronavirus, which is now a declared public health emergency in Oregon.
What can be done about people who are allowed to camp practically wherever they wish, with whomever they wish, who are immunocompromised – largely by drug use, mental illness and the elements – and not required to stop dangerous, risky behavior all while camping near urine and feces?
The City of Portland has an answer: simply tell the homeless to stay six feet away from one another.
Sure, that'll work.
KGW-TV reports that city and county officials have requested that homeless shelters ask "houseless" people to stay six feet from each other in the shelters and if they won't do that, send them back on the streets and demand they separate themselves there.
Sick residents will be asked to wear masks and maintain a 6-foot distance between themselves in others in an attempt to keep the spread of any possible sickness to a minimum.
If residents are unwilling to follow those guidelines they may be turned away.

Brilliant idea! What an outstanding way to solve it!
I am sure the will be the same here in the Seattle area...
Insanity/stupidity seems to airborne... Where the hell is the CDC on that????
They should just hand out “Don’t infect me” bracelets instead.
Also odd that the leftists who wanted open borders and didn’t care what may have been coming into the country with illegal aliens, are now concerned about a single disease.
I’m surprised they’re not recommending licking healthy people’s doorknobs for “equality”. At least yet.
If it’s that easy why don’t they just ask the Wuhan virus to stay away from their city?
How can you share drugs and booze while maintaining a six-foot distance? Asking for a friend...
"The City of Portland has an answer: simply tell the homeless to stay six feet away from one another."

“Don’t infect me Bro!”
Maybe aromatherapy would help.
The left is entirely mental. They need to be put away for their own and the safety of others.
This really is a perfect storm for liberals isn’t it?
“Sick residents will be asked to wear masks and maintain a 6-foot distance between themselves in others in an attempt to keep the spread of any possible sickness to a minimum.”
hard to guzzle Mad Dog 20/20 with a mask on .... solution? poke a bottle-neck sized hole in the mask right in front of your mouth ...
The next step will be to round them up and concentrate them in camps where they can be “showered” and . . . uh . . . “sanitized”.
