Somehow the link is not working for me. I found the article browsing SFGate, good read.


I emailed the mods. It's been fixed.


Off topic, but: What's Covid doing (or going to do) to the homeless population? If you're in a shelter, how do you do social distancing? And if you're on the street, how do you social distance there?

I'm asking you because you have more understanding of the realities of homelessness than anyone I know...


It's pretty bad, from what I gather.

Some shelters and soup kitchens have closed. Normal people can't find hand sanitizer. Homeless people can't either and also frequently lack consistent access to sinks and showers.

And a nightmare for prisons and nursing homes.


Yes. The headlines I've seen suggest nursing homes are seeing a lot of deaths.
