What about the homeless and COVID-19?

We can't just stay at home for 14 days. Getting masks are hard because of shortages. So is hand sanitizer.

The FLU is hitting hard as it is. Now this.
Heck people are getting turned away from some shelters because they have a cough!

Guess in the Trump version of America, we should go off somewhere and die.

Those that can get a tent and some water.

But for many of us, that is not an option.

Pandora's box of reality. My guess is,our Homeless Population my be ripe with this COVID virus all ready. As someone mentioned,most of our Homeless Persons are congregated in cluster groups through out the City and especially in and around the Food Pantries and Meal Service Non Profit agencies.

Here my concern is with the 10% of our School Age Children whom are with their families living in Shelters or Tent encampments around the Valley.

It is only going to get ugly by the minute.

As our POS Mayor said Yesterday and caught on tape,they are trying to kill our city when asked about the effect of what the Viral Infection will have on our Conventions and Visitors.
