(12,712 posts)Those are my concerns, too. I am among those who has little to no income, no savings, SNAP is my food source, my home is a tent, etc.
That's the reason I know how badly this will impact the many, many homeless people who cannot stock up on anything, SNAP is hardly enough to eat on and you can't stock up on that little, (about $6.00-a-day). You have no running water or your own bathroom and there is no way you can stay in a tent or a car for long, especially two-weeks self-quarantine.
So, when it sweeps through the homeless community, that may be devastating and i am prepared to be done.
I have heard Trump's desires to put homeless people in "camps" or some sort of facilities as a dictator solution, rather than provide needed assistance and have brainless Ben Carson do anything at HUD. So, it is my concern that the scapegoating will reach us and he might use emergency powers to "contain" us using public health as an excuse. Scapegoating is important to Fascist dictators, like butter on your toast.
