The other vulnerable population I am not hearing much about [View all]

Mainstream news has recently started to discuss racial disparities, also seeing coverage about people that are incarcerated. What I have not heard much about - people living in homeless shelters.

Shelters are quite often full to the brim. No way to social distance in a homeless shelter with 40-50 other people. I fear that these people will be neglected.
