And if the infection is running rampant in the homeless population, then they could become even more shunned and stigmatized.

Nope, if they become free-running vectors of disease (550k of them), it is an outcry for US govt. to pay attention. If they were already ignored for so long, the gov. will not be able to anymore - because a housing problem will now become a national health emergency problem. Fear is a huge motivator - just look at stocks.

Maybe this crisis would be a reminder for the US that universal healthcare cannot be ignored anymore.
