Unhealthy, terrible living conditions, overcrowded, demoralized, vulnerable.... and yet? This issue is so obvious. And I completely forgot about it for such a long time. 1047 homeless people died out of 52,765, in Los Angeles, in 2019. In 2020 in L.A., less than 1000 died. By 2021 the population is estimated at 161,548.
If you try to find out how many how many covid deaths there are in 2021 so far among that population, the figure is mysteriously absent in online articles. It appears to me that the homeless people in Los Angeles have not cooperated with the pandemic death toll very well at all. If you go to L.A now after not being there for a few years, the place swarms with street dwellers like a stirred up ant colony. It is like WW Z without the zombies.

I was joking with my libtard co worker that the only good that could have come from this was the Seattle homeless population being destroyed. Nope thriving as good as ever.
The chronically homeless are a resilient lot.
The actual homeless numbers are much bigger. The data doesn't account for working homeless and retirees. We live free out in RVs and campgrounds and on empty owned land. Its a healthy and wholesome life style if you can work and keep your nose clean. The working homeless outnumber the derelicts of the cities, but they spread out and don't report to socialist programs and don't take handouts, so its a nearly invisible population.
Its a good life. Simple. But I didn't downsize to this. Mileage may vary. Literally.
If you do it, I recommend picking up empty rural land, cheap acreage. An acre somewhere peaceful for winters, and acre somewhere peaceful for summers.
and some kind of storage unit that is undetectable from the air or ground. Preferably an underground unit
Nevada has shit tons. 1 acre 1800 bucks to hundreds of acres cheap.
I would love to go that route. Just sell it all and disappear.
seriously considering it.
True. But I did hit rock bottom at a point, and this is just the progress back up, so far. For me, my thinking on this is not from the outside looking in. There is definitely a difference between, "hipster vacation", retirees, "houseless functional", people having a tough run of luck and needing help -- and then the fully "derelict". I consider it all related based on my experience with tbe homeless. Even hipster vacationers are running on fumes if they think #vanlife is going to save them from a broken system and dysfunctional society. It aint. Eventually the regurgitations of #vanlifers sounds a lot like "you will own nothing, and you will be happy."
Infact, it all leads back to that global vision. Like so many other problems today.
I will buy land, as much as I can in my lifetime. But no houses.
Agreed I'm a trucker. Don't own a home anymore. Never there. I'm not homeless!
ARI Legacy sleeper or just a regular longnose with a standard sleeper cab?

Nice.
I just bought my 65 yr old parents a small rv to do just this. They spend Winters in Florida and Spring/Summer here in beautiful NW Arkansas.
A lot of homeless live a "van life" out if their smaller but still rolling home vehicles.
Of unlive under a bridef u are homeless. If you have a camper, well you have a home.
That's because they are all practicing social distancing and sanitizing everything. ;)
Booze kills viruses. So does sunlight. Exposure and lack of sanitation also strengthens your immune system.
Edit: And I imagine they don't watch too much TV, so they aren't exposed to that virus either.
ftw
IIRC, YouTube's so-called "community guidelines" for discussing Corona-chan (which reads like the book of Leviticus) says, "Thou shalt not discuss alcohol consumption as means of killing the virus, which is seriously for really reals." Or something like that. If that is forbidden, then there may be a bit of truth to it.
There's totally truth to it.

Makes you wonder why they closed down bars, eh?
I’m just upvoting due to confirmation bias.
You may have a point, but the link you gave is talking about stuff like isopropyl alchohol (IPA), not rum and whiskey. Booze may still play a part, but your article doesn't support that.
Notice that I didn't call you "retarded" like that handshake loser did. I'm tired of these noobs.
My article doesn't support it, but this one does:

Bonus article of booze with high enough proof to do so:

I will admit, however, that I thought a lower concentration (like 40%) would do the trick, so I'll admit that I was half wrong.
Potato-based stuff knocks me on my ass. That's vodka and here in Japan there is shochu. Does a number on me. I can drink several whiskey highballs and just get buzzed, even when mixing them strong, because I have more of a tolerance.
Hard liqueur is known to kill viruses. This isn't some voodoo shit.
And we're not talking 60-90% blood alcohol concentration, we're talking 60% alcohol concentration in the booze. Granted, you probably don't want to go on a bender with this stuff, but they do exist.

I’m good with the booze option then.
My brother-in-law has been living in a Christian recovery center / homeless shelter for the last 2 years. He pointed this out to me a year ago and two weeks ago.
Tens of homeless men come in every day and not a SINGLE death or “case” of the alleged “virus.”
The biggest HOAX in the modern era
The homeless don’t have televisions to watch. The Amish don’t get Covid either. They too don’t have televisions.
The Amish also don't vaccinate their kids, and autism is non-existent in the Amish community. You do the math.
We can learn a lot from them! They are completely self sufficient. They are amazing and we should be living much more like them!
Full respect except they run all the puppy mills
I have not heard that. I will look into. I hate puppy mills.
They look at animals differently than us not pets but livestock
I'm beginning to think we all need to claim we are Amish, so we can't be forced to take the vax
They're also, in some places at least, specifically excluded from mask wearing, and you sure don't hear anyone hounding them about getting the jab, and the same goes for illegals crossing the border. Apparently homeless and illegals are protected classes.
rona got a soft spot for homeless
😂
I have been saying the exact same thing! There would be dead bodies everywhere.
In fact, our homeless population has increased due to the "pandemic," and will be getting larger once the eviction moratorium ends.
The plandemic is obviously fake if the liberal bleeding heart cities ignore their respective homeless populations.
They don't want the homeless to be housed or die off. Lots of money laundering done through the homeless "crisis".
They used to buy them liquor to get them to vote.
I saw them injecting each other with the vaccine under a bridge.
THAT is a very insightful observation!
Just another observation think about the immune system they have to have as well with the conditions also they spend a considerable time out in the open.
Homeless people have above average levels of circulating vitamin D. When you are outside half the day that happens.
Being the devils advocate, take into account NEW homeless people replacing dead ones.
Curious what those stats are.
Covid is aerosols transmitted. You pretty can't catch it outdoors. It's an indoor disease.
Its because they wash their hands. Like once a month.
That goes to show you that if there ever was a COVID-19 virus, it's gone now!
yeps
Hospitals are now nothing but covid death centers.
I'm so disappointed in our countrymen who have fallen so hard for all the bullshit.
I've had the same thought. My view is that the homeless are de facto quarantined. If you think about it, you have to realize that the key question is how a homeless person would ever catch the virus. There are two possibilities: (1) from another homeless person, or (2) from a non-homeless person. The first possibility simply begs the question, so the key question is (2): infection from a non-homeless person. Now...how would that happen? What non-homeless people are in common contact with homeless people? Damn few, in terse words. No ordinary person wants contact with homeless people. But it was only ordinary people who went abroad and brought back the virus. They spread it among ordinary people. But no ordinary people want to have contact with the homeless. Thus, de facto quarantine. Plus, they are loaded up with so many drugs anyway, their body chemistry is probably out of whack even for a virus to invade. Makes sense to me. We have plenty of them, and they are seemingly immune.
Either that or they are being replaced by the middle class due to lockdowns.
