The covid crisis is affecting marginalized groups like the homeless or people with psychological problems among the hardest, because numbers of beds in clinics and shelters have been reduced, hospitals are busy and access is in cases restricted, everyone is dealing with ever-changing mandates, and many people simply have their own lives to worry about so no one cares for them.
At the same time many hotels and airbnbs are under capacity because travel is restricted. It is a fair question why the homeless aren't hosted there. We don't have to expect Airbnb to pay for it but the government could if they actually cared about people, instead of terrorizing school kids and bankrupting the state with neverending lockdowns and restrictions.
