Question about the virus
5/25/20 | Kartographer

Posted on 05/25/2020 2:42:43 PM PDT by Kartographer

I asked this question on a thread, but I like to pose it to FR as a whole:

WHY with the crowded sleeping next to one another, often sharing food no mask, no social distancing, washing hands is to laugh there is little more than third world sanitary conditions and facilities in these camps. There is rampant drug and alcohol abuse. There is certainly no proper diet, most are in general poor health already. In fact they are living in the exact opposite conditions of those we are being told are required to control the spread of the virus. So I ask: WHY are they not bring bodies out of these encampments by the dump truck load?

It’s a scam and has been since day one.

WHO are these people you are talking about? WHAT camps? WHEN did you notice this firsthand? WHERE as in what state, county, city. HOW do we evacuate them peaceably?

I assume you are talking about homeless camps?

You need to define your pronoun with more precision than “the crowded.”

I think it is a question of exposure. The people who originally brought the virus into the US are the more affluent, who can afford to travel and so forth. They do not have much contact with the homeless in their encampments. So, while the homeless often live in conditions that are highly conducive to the spread of disease (and they can and do spread disease rather freely), they haven’t been exposed to Covid-19 yet.

Check them for vitamin D insufficiency. I dunno, people have been talking about the effects of being low and getting dead from covid 19. Homeless are outside quite a bit like camping out.

I have said several times that the biggest surprise of this virus is the lack of impact (seemingly) on the homeless population.

The only guess I can offer is that the homeless, as a result of their lifestyle, somehow have more immunity than the rest of us. It seems counterintuitive given the factors you point out about what we think of as “health”, but they are probably more exposed to common bugs than we are and therefore they may have more immunity or a stronger immune system.

One absolute conclusion that is emerging is age and obesity greatly impact morbidity. There are very few elderly and obese homeless people in my experience.

It is an interesting question.

I see this all the time on different forums. The OP thinks everyone knows what they know so when they pose a question it’s like they think we are right there seeing what they see and know what they know.

If I were the OP of this thread I would ask the mods to delete it and try again with a better, more complete, question like we don’t know what he’s talking about.

Maybe rather than checking FDA approved drugs for therapy, we should be considering Crack; meth; and Molly??

I’ve pondered this too and it would make an interesting study. My best guess is high levels of Vitamin D from sun exposure boosts their immune system. But really I have no idea.

Are you talking about the areas where the homeless set up their tents and crates? Those aren’t really “camps”-they are just areas inhabited by squatters-I don’t think anyone really knows how many of those people really have/don’t have the Wuhan virus-it isn’t like anyone is going in there to see-and the ones who have been living in filthy conditions for a long time might be immune to a lot of nasty things...

While your answer does seem counter-intuitive to what we might think is the case, I think you are correct about their lifestyle exposing them to more diseases which has strengthened their immune syste. In other words, I agree with your answer. 8>)

I assume so as well but some important details seem missing. If they’re going to go to the trouble of posting a rant lay off of the tequila until you can coherently post enough info for us all to get incensed over or why bother.
