HSH just made public that the first person at a homeless shelter or navigation center tested positive for COVID-19. He is in “good condition.” Unclear how many other people may be exposed. They should have been out of those crowded environments, and into hotel rooms weeks ago.

This was an issue years if not decades in the making. Rooms and beds are typically not the issue. Compliancy is the problem. There is a significant percentage of the homeless population that refuse services no matter what the situation. Do we force them to shelter?

We have thousands of people waiting in crowded shelters or navigation centers or on the street wanting to be inside in hotel rooms during this epidemic.

For those saying “who cares if they die from coronavirus, they’re just criminals anyway”, here’s the thing: They are simply paying their debt to society, they weren’t sentenced to death which is what that attitude equates to. No one knew this Virus was coming.

I also ask what about the criminal justice staff, while some lost soul may be willing to write off the lives of the prisoners, the inescapable truth is that these are people and their social proximity makes us all unsafe. Prisoner >guard>judge>lawmaker>constituent .
