Seems like that’s a guaranteed way to speed up the spread.

About a week or two ago, Tucker Carlson had a conservative activist from Seattle on.

They talked of the consequences of CV sweeping thru the homeless population. For all the ones living on a sidewalk that they could foreseeably round up, there are others sheltering in the woods or squatting in abandoned buildings.

It’s gonna be hard to get a handle on CV in a situation like this.

” rushing to get tens of thousands of people off the streets and into shelters and tents “

If they don’t have enough shelter space for the homeless under normal circumstances, how can they now, if they have to keep everyone 6 feet apart? Seems like a similar situation as the cruise ships. Better off keeping them on the streets where they can self isolate themselves on their own as long as everyone else is staying at home.

Maybe while they are doing that, they can triage the mentally ill and put them in appropriate facilities AFTER they change the law to allow long term hospitalization for the mentally ill.

It will spread by all the poop and urine in the streets.
They’ll lose total “control”...like they ever had it in the first place.

We are going to pay a heavy price because we let the ACLU control society on disease spreading brain damaged drug addicts.

In that event we can give them their last fix and deal with the problem.

“Mentally ill” is a euphemism. It’s drug induced permanent brain damage.

Some are indeed mentally ill

All have substance abuse issues

Not sure which is most prevalent

Booze

Meth

Heroin

Or all three....this is what the homeless are

Some crazy

Most are drug and booze addicts who choose to camp out and stay high

And churches and leftist groups enable them

I deal with this a lot unfortunately

Politicians won’t do squat

Exactly what I was thinking! They are better off in the streets than confined inside. But I’m not leftarded, so what do I know.
