COVID concerns spread among homeless New Yorkers

https://queenseagle.com/all/covid-coronavirus-concerns-spread-homeless-new-yorkers

Are we testing prisoners and homeless? Since testing kits are a priority, and prisoners and homeless are never a priority, I assume we're not testing any of them.

Prisoners aren't such a big deal, because pretty soon we'll have testing up and running, and they're easy to "lockdown". Although it's probably been spreading undetected through a lot of prisons by now, given the overcrowding. And it would probably go unnoticed. If 10,000 prisoners had it right now, across the country, that would only mean a small uptick in (what appears to be) flu deaths and hospitalizations. It would be lost in the statistical noise of a normal flu season.

But the homeless...what are we going to do with them? We can't let them become a reservoir for Coronavirus. We're going to have to actually figure out a way to get them off the streets and out of those camps. California never did take the problem seriously. If we had, we wouldn't have so many homeless. We would have made home construction much easier to do. But now we have to really solve this.

So, what's the solution?

 

You haven't heard?? trump had a hunch that everything would be o.k.

 

The homeless have worse diseases to worry about.

Common sense, adequate personal precautions as outlined by the authorities and the self control to NOT constantly try to spread panic.

 

If you were a viral pathogen designer working top secret projects, and a scientist of tremendous ability, here's what you would you do if your boss gave you the following assignment:

Design a highly communicable virus that spreads easily and that will infect almost all people, but that will spare infants, children, and the young, and that will spare healthy adults, but will kill the old with underlying conditions, kill the obese, kill the junkies, kill the homeless, and kill many in the prisons.

You would place a vial of COVID-19 on your boss's desk as quickly as you were able. That would accomplish the objectives with considerable effectiveness.

And likewise anything that can generically be done against COVID-19 will stymie all of the above negative objectives.

So you fight COVID-19 with what you have available, and with more when in becomes available, and as that fight builds up nobody will get left out. But you can't get it all done at once. So you favor the general public first and don't worry about prisoners until everybody else gets their share of help.

 

No, the solution to the homeless problem. You can't let this become a reservoir in their camps. What do you specifically do?

 

Yeah man, what's your solution to a problem that had existed since the beginning of time.

 

And anything short of the entire world being killed, he’ll say he was right.

 

Yup.

Dr. Bone Spurs Trump (the greatest infectious disease specialist since Walter Reed).

America is in good hands.

 

I was just thinking about this actually, And you're right, it's a big issue but you also have to consider that prisoners are sometimes transferred to other prisons(and other facilities) and that this too, can cause a spread of the virus. So even in a controlled setting like a Prison where mobility is controlled by law enforcement, they're still.moving. It's not like a kernel and a dog.

I think we need to make make-shift hospitals like with military hospices. And with those barrack-like settings, we can temporarily house the homeless, and we should have the CDC/Experts visit prisons across the country and work to contain the virus from inside.

 

Put them all on a cruise ships and take them 12 miles off shore and hope for the best..

 

Hell here is the guy you need to be mad at, look how happy he is and waving at you


I think he is saying "Be well America, we all rove you rong time"!

 

That's saying something when our dirty ass homeless are less infectious then regular Chinese folks

 

I agree with Tom Cotton(R-Arkansas.) I'm of the belief that the Chinese possibly had intentions of using this as a bio-chemical against the United States. BIo-chemical and soft warfare will be the warfare of the 21st century. And we've yet to adapt military personnel and strategies to deal with these type of threats.

 

Environmental cleansing.

 

Many homeless live on the street by choice and not through necessity. It would be impossible to contain them without a full blown riot taking place.

 

Simple, build them homes.

That should cost about the same as our 15th Aircraft Carrier Group.

 

Conservative bushwa

 

I've no idea what "bushwa" is but I am guessing it is more along the lines of ... build everyone a house!

 

It could and should be done. It would cost far less than what we do now and far less than people think.

 

And how do you propose making people live in these free houses that don't want to? Armed guards?

 

Ahh! A non-nuclear MAD. It appers the coronavirus is hurting the Chinese economy more than the US economy...but it is early yet.

 

My free house is in the middle of Nebraska.

 

At least you won't have to worry too much about toilet paper LOL

 

Do you use corn cobs or corn stalk leaves?
