You don’t think evictions have anything to do with disease control? What do you think happens to people who get evicted?

  They move out and go live somewhere else, usually. This might sometimes lead to spread of the disease, if the eviction just so happens to happen during the time when the tenants are infectious. But, as it happens, there are other ways these tenants might spread the disease, like going to work, meeting family or friends (typically the very same ones they will move in with when they get evicted), eating at restaurants, riding a bus, or generally living their normal life. These are much more likely to contribute to spread, and, as does not require mention, these activities haven’t been burdened with year+ long moratorium. The idea that evictions have anything beyond superficial impact on spread of the disease just beggars belief.
