As coronavirus spreads, 6 Bay Area counties will be ordered to shelter in place
- shartshooter 7y agoOnly police and fire departments, hospitals, grocery stores, gas stations, banks and pharmacies and restaurants serving takeout and delivery customers will be allowed to remain open under the shelter-in-place order Fingers crossed for everyone, but one thing I've been thinking about lately is how this pandemic will impact the homeless. Homelessness was obviously a huge problem in the US pre-pandemic and we know those often folks lack access to basic healthcare, have underlying health(mental or otherwise) conditions and will have a harder time with social distancing. They can't as easily shelter-in-place if they're not feeling well which means they'll have to go to a hospital.
