Serious Covid question

[Fjold]

Why aren't the homeless dying in droves?

Typically they don't wear masks, have poor hygiene, do not practice social distancing, lack medical care, have a high percentage of drug addicts who share needles, etc.

You would think that even without testing there would be a significant number of the homeless getting seriously sick and dying of Covid but I don't see anything about it in the news.

If there were, I think that the media would have been all over it, especially to spin it against Trump.

I am really confused.

They're the outdoorsy types, so they're super healthy

They are socially distanced by default since most people don't get close to them.

How many bums make it to 75+?
Covid kills old people (for the most part), most bums dont make it to the "oldster" age group.

I've seen that Homeless deaths are up, but only through indirect results of Covid - IE the public places they could visit to get water, bathe etc are all closed. I think overdoses are up.


I'll see if I can find it, but there was a comparison between East Coast / West Coast Homeless and I remember reading that east coast homeless have a higher death rate. This is because they are more likely to congregate in shelters during bad weather.

We're being played. Covid is a nothing-burger. That is why homeless aren't kicking the bucket in droves.

I've asked this before and it got poo-poo'ed but I can't help but wonder if the infection rate is higher among so-called "essential workers" than the rest of the population. If not, why?

I'm saying more like 99.97% myself.

Homeless are cannibals. They are dying in droves. The others are eating them, hence how the zombie apocalypse starts...

Idiots I swear.... Jk lol vegas we put squares 6 feet apart for homeless to sleep in. Not sure how well that worked but I'm seeing homeless camps growing exponentially lately

[sigstroker]

Hospitals get a big payday for a covid death, like 77 grand I heard. Everyone that dies gets pegged as covid. They estimate 40% of reported covid deaths are fraudulent.

Guess we all know the ultimate truth -- The China CCP Virus is meant to kill our economy more than our people.

If catching then recovering from the 'rona doesn't provide immunity why should we believe a vaccine will provide immunity?

This is a good question.
