they reap bailouts. Didn’t we them bail out money after trump said he would fix it? Gosh, that was December. Guess they need more cash from tax payers in responsible states.

Yup. Drugs and mental health.

This asshole is against enforcing immigration laws, essentially encouraging illegal drug trafficking, and the state no longer has mental institutions to care for the rest of the homeless.

Everything coming out of Sacramento defies common sense.

Who will the politicians and the media blame if this happens?

Yes, they will blame Trump, even if it was their own local fault.

It's the inverse of teaching a man to fish.

Pick up a poop and the street is clean for a day. Pick up a homeless corps and the street is clean for a ... oh wait there's another one where that one came from.

If it hits the homeless population, they will drop like flies.

What with the drug and alcohol use, and likely other factors, they won’t even be making it to the hospital. They’ll be dying in the streets like we saw in China.

I suppose that the only reason that it hasn’t hit there yet, is that there’s likely very little contact between the homeless population and the rest of the world. But it’s just a matter of time.

There won’t be enough beds for homeless virus patients in California because the beds will already be occupied by illegal aliens.

Yep. Look for the skies of SF to be particularly hazy. And NOT because of fog.

“They’ll be dying in the streets like we saw in China”.

“Hey, I’m not dead yet”. (Monty Pyghon reference).

I don’t think that is true.

The media wants us to know about the CELEBs because that sells news. Or make us wonder where the powerbrokers of the world, like Soros and his get, Bezos, the Googles, Zuck and the rest are? What are they doing?

Some 2 bit prime minister’s wife?

No big deal, but I notice none of the powerbrokers are reported ill as they relax in their hidey holes in New Zealand.

New Zealand have any cases?

They weren’t CELEBS in China and Italy.

It sure won’t help the stool situation on the city sidewalks.

First, funny observation. Seriously would have someone with a sign in front of Winco, any driveway to WalMart, active street corners - most of them suddenly disappeared. Mostly because they weren't homeless to begin.

Anyway, I'm starting to see camps drastically expand and loner camps disassemble. Can't have the suppliers of beer and drugs travel so far in such troubling times, so they're gathering together to ‘protect’ themselves. Most vow to ignore any orders to retreat to government shelters.

60,000? Sounds kinda low, really.

“Modeling has shown...”

Is that the same “modeling” that shows planet earth will end in 11 point something years?

“This is a rich persons virus. Lots of people jet around the world on a regular basis..

Well I doubt it is from the flight itself. Unless the Flight Crews need to be tested a whole lot better because they would be the only other people on any plane carrying Tom Hanks and his wife. I guess the “beautiful people” need to keep their social distant from autograph seekers.

FR accurately predicted this without any sophisticated modeling probably a month ago or more.

California owns this problem, and has owned this problem since the 1980’s.

The state that contains the largest mass of celebrity preachers, er, actors, and has not taken care of their own house, deserves all the disasters coming their direction.

I thought street cleaning in California was forbidden. Power-washing the sidewalks was deemed racist - it reminded a race baiter politician of fire hoses once used on blacks during the civil rights movement era.
