Coronavirus Patient At Sherman Oaks Hotel Breaks Quarantine...

SHERMAN OAKS (CBSLA) – A homeless woman diagnosed with coronavirus who was staying at a hotel in Sherman Oaks broke her quarantine Thursday afternoon and refused to return.

The woman was staying at the Sherman Hotel in the 15000 block of Ventura Boulevard as part of a medical sheltering program through the city.

Just before 2 p.m., Los Angeles police were notified by hotel staff that the woman had gone missing from the hotel.

Police put out a missing person alert and officers were finally able to locate the woman. However, she refused to return to the hotel and police eventually let her go free.

An LAPD official told CBS2 they cannot force COVID-19 patients to stay at these hotels. They are free to come and go as they please.

At a news conference Thursday night, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti addressed the incident.

“I think people out there understand that there are some people experiencing homelessness that can be very challenging in terms of mental health issues they have, and/or addiction problems that they have, we knew that long before COVID-19,” Garcetti said. “So you can never bat a thousand, but I’m really proud of how successful that it has been to keep most people there. It’s much safer than everyone being out there on the streets.”

Garcetti added that some coronavirus patients who are not homeless may have also ignored the stay at home orders.

The woman was being housed at the hotel as part of a medical sheltering program through L.A. County. As of Thursday, there were 41 people staying at the Sherman Hotel through that program.

Many weeks ago, a hotel in Orange County was planning to house homeless people who tested positive...

A senior housing community was near the hotel...Residents protested...That plan was dropped...

Back then, my question was what if some homeless person escapes from that hotel?

Now, I know the answer...In California, cops will not force some homeless person to stay in some place because he/she tested positive for coronavirus...I think it is different in other states...

By the way, Mayor did not think that this incident was a big deal...

But if she was a civilian without CV19 out playing in a skatepark she’d be arrested no doubt.

No Big Deal?
Cops don’t force quarantine, nor do cops ticket offenders?
CV orders, written in disappearing ink?

California is certainly not to be singled out. Other states experiencing the same. Not voted by legislature, not a law. Police follow the law, not some ‘mandate’ expressed publicly.

So, if she were a mom playing with her kid in a park, she'd be arrested and cuffed. But, because she's "homeless" she gets a pass.

Is this an admission by the autocrats they have no authority to shut us down?

[Secret Agent Man]

quarantines are to keep sick people in, not healthy people in.

they let a potentially sickie go and arrest healthy people

uniparty has proven that tyranny works for them in todays america

[dp0622]

The whole thing’s insane.

It sucks for cops to get this.

Imagine it was something with a 20 percent mortality rate among the healthy.

If I was a cop I wouldn’t go near her.

Quarantine: a state of enforced isolation (as per Merriam-Webster). What did the LA police think it meant?

[Wilhelm Tell]

To the left, illegal aliens and the homeless are among the most important people around. A homeless person who roams about spreading a deadly disease to society is ideal to the left and should be free to do anything. A normal person who violates a minor safety protocol, on the other hand, will be dealt with with an iron fist.

Nancy Pelosi has invited the recalcitrant homeless woman
to stay at her Mansion in Pacific Heights.

[Wilhelm Tell]

That is kind of like the illegal alien who illegally obtained a gun and shot and killed a woman. The left treated him like a celebrity and rolled out the red carpet for him. He was, after all, an innocent victim of the fact that guns exist and illegal aliens who kill mere citizens are to be given every advantage.

Too many do not look and realize what this is.. our freedoms are being taken a camel’s nose at a time...
they do this or that and see what the reaction is. if we had no weapons in our homes or in our possession.. and they knew it... we’d be toast.

there is nothing else that is keeping them from doing what they want.. an election, yes.... they want to win elections.. and when they get ALL the power back... the Senate, the House, the Presidency, they will be home free... the media is already in their pocket ...the military...not yet.. and the education system has done a number on the kids for a generation and more... there is nothing left to save this country except Trump and we voters who know what they on the left, are doing.. we become fewer each election... and though Trump will win again..

if all the lefties voted, it would be close...and in the future, today’s youth are willing to live under communism.... they think it’s a free life...oh man, what a dumb thing to ever .. ever.. believe... the truth shall set you free... otherwise you are enslaved to the swamp.

People with homes can pay fines.

Homeless people can’t pay a $1000 ticket and if they arrest them they have to pay for the legal defense, housing, and health expense plus any attacks on guards and fellow prisoners.

[Kirkwood]

Yes. You are correct.

[DannyTN]

"CV orders, written in disappearing ink?"

Probably never bothered to get CV orders. Or just didn't want to contaminate their squad car.

Welcome to the Hotel Coronafornia...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

[FreedomPoster]

Many/most of these homeless have mental health / substance abuse issues. Thinking they would act responsibly when given housing was a pipe dream.

[eyedigress]

She would have been arrested given a chance they could make money off of it.

[cnsmom]

Put them in a zoo.locking them in police stations just makes everything worse. Anopen air zoo.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Yup because the ruling GOP made this happen

Gotta love crypto liberals they know who to blame
