60,000 homeless could get virus, says California governor #coronavirus (covid-19)

In my area, despite the city-wide shut down, the homeless are all congregating on the 24/7 bus routes/trains/etc. and they are packed. People coughing, touching everything, etc. but there's literally nowhere else to sleep/get away from the cold for those who have no gear for sleeping outside and can't get into the many closed down homeless shelters.

Who knows how long this is going to last, but keeping a group like this packed into buses & trains all day cannot be good for keeping this virus from spreading around the city.

I hear about all kinds of groups either getting help from the government from friends or family and tips given on how to stay virus-free but the homeless demographic is being virtually ignored and shoved into HIGHLY contagious scenarios.
