Most of your assumptions are wrong. The generally live in horrifying sanitary conditions in “camps.”

ANY sickness runs through their population. It’s akin to a British town in the Middle Ages.

Good analogy. I’m stealing it.

Why should scarce beds be used for these scum? They’ve rejected living like human beings.

There is a movie called "Seattle is dying" that discusses the liberals causing the homelessness. The homeless are ALL druggies. Everyone of them either mentally ill druggies, or people that have made themselves mentally ill with drugs. They are often arrested a couple of times a day and released. Seattle cops can't do anything because of the liberal mayor and police force.

They are going to die by the thousands if not tens of thousands in Seattle, LA, and SFO. I hate saying this, but THEY WILL BE taking up that ICU bed for those that work, pay taxes, go to school, etc.

This virus hasn’t ripped through Jakarta, Dhaka, or Lagos yet, so I see no reason to believe that it would have reached the Obamavilles in Kali yet.

“....the beds will already be occupied by illegal aliens.”

Close, but not quite. Ever been in a hospital ER in any major, or minor, city in California. It is full of illegals and destitutes that can’t afford food or shelter, let alone medical expenses. They will sit there all day and wait for service, which they will not pay for, and they will go away with medication, which they don’t pay for, back into the world with a quick fix and will be back tomorrow for more. The doctors have to service them, and the bill is stiffed.

They won’t get a bed unless they are unconscious and they will be released as soon as they are treated by their own decisions. You can’t force them to stay. And they will carry the virus to everyone they come in contact with.

For years this topic has been reason to keep illegals out of the country as they seem to breed this situation. Thus more than two-thirds of patients aren’t paying their entire hospital bills, and that number could increase to 95 percent by the end of 2020, according to a study from TransUnion, a company that helps hospitals collect unpaid bills. And guess who picks up the tab for that?

Yes, Irvine. The television was tuned in to Telemundo and English was the 4th or 5th language spoken..

Or they could NOT get corona virus.

But scaring people with the worst case scenario is doing wonders for destroying lives and making it more likely Dementia Joe could beat Trump in November.

could... could.. or could not.. maybe sleeping in excrement has a medicinal effect on Big Cv. Love to see some public officials get the treatment.

“could” but not even remotely likely.

About 80% who make some contact with the virus do not get sick or have any symptoms at all, ever. Of those who do get sick, the majority, of all ages, have mild symptoms. So, the 60,000 number is a scare tactic invention looking for a federal hand out.

California is in the top 3 states that have people infected with COVID-19. I’ve been wondering how their homeless population is doing. Good thing CA gov is praising President DJT’s handling of the pandemic.
