From the Los Angeles Times:
Coronavirus spreads in Los Angeles' homeless community
There are nine confirmed cases of coronavirus among Los Angeles’ homeless population, said Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, at her Thursday media briefing.
This is up from five the day before and comes as the city and county attempt to more aggressively test in places like skid row. Ferrer said it was challenging to know exactly where in the county these homeless people had been, but so far there had been no clustering of cases.
She said there had been cases at two shelters but didn’t reveal their names or locations.
It is going to rip through those communities like a hot knife through butter and then those who take care of them will bring it home and share it with families and friends. Being a liberal stronghold, they are woefully unprepared for a pandemic - got to spend their money on high-speed trains and solar panels. Glad I do not live there.
