Dr Grant Colfax, San Francisco's public health director, said the harm-reduction approach is widespread and based on decades of sound public health policy.
'Our focus needs to be on supporting them,' he said of the people who are isolating or under quarantine.
For people experiencing alcohol withdrawal, the Department of Public Health calculates the minimum amount needed and delivers them with meals.

lol, the headline is longer than the excerpt.
A year ago I would have thought this too crazy even for San Fran.
This is kind of necessary if they’re going to be kept in quarantine.
The real problem is that San Francisco never addressed the issue of rampant homelessness; this is just a tertiary consequence.
I demand heroin and meth be delivered to me!
“Decades of sound public health policy”? Typical of “progressive” thinking. Its demented and delusional.
“This is kind of necessary if they’re going to be kept in quarantine.”
Uhh, No. No it is not necessary. Lock’em up just like every one else.
If there’s one thing the lefties are good at m its rewarding bad behavior.
Years of passing the pipe around & inhaling.
Yeah. Give me librium or give me meth. Sheesh. The Tribulation ain’t that far off.
There is going to be the largest fire ever in CA.
This is what happens when you start down the progressive road. Pretty soon you’re shooting up the addicts to prevent them from infecting you with COVID 19.
Backlash? Why would anyone in San Francisco have a problem with this?
“For people experiencing alcohol withdrawal, the Department of Public Health calculates the minimum amount needed and delivers them with meals.”
The 3rd line is a crock for sure and typical of the mentality of bleeding heart liberal career social service personel.
As a recovering alcoholic I can state unequivocally that with the exception of very rare circumstances, stopping intake of alcohol cold turkey is still the most effective way of quitting for good.
It’s unpleasant as he!! but hey, that’s life.
I guess it depends on how much you drink. If it is pure hard liquor straight up the risk of seizures is very real.
I hope not. Last year in our area there were no fires the first time in 15 years that I have been here. One year there were fires all over the place and we were told to evacuate but I didn’t because from my perch I could see that it was going to run up against a rocky outcrop and run out of fuel. Which it did. I hate fires.
Hookers would be nice too.
Shoot, A Fella’ Could Have A Pretty Good Weekend In Vegas With All That Stuff.
Excellent post. And it us going to keep them in one place. It seems like a necessary evil right now.
I am assuming these hotels that have been turned into homeless shelters will NEVER be habitable for tourists.
Is not us
