   Fuck all you people who work for a living and lost your jobs   
   because of the chink flu.  Your asses can take their place on   
   the streets.   
      
   That is what you dumb bitches get for repeatedly voting   
   Democrats into office.   
      
   What goes around comes around.   
      
   Thousands from San Francisco’s growing homeless population will   
   reportedly be housed in several of the city’s empty hotels to   
   help slow the spread of the coronavirus, a concern that became   
   more pressing as a local shelter reported the first homeless   
   COVID-19 case Thursday.   
      
   The program represents one of the city’s most significant   
   efforts in years to reduce the homeless population. The city has   
   seen a 30 percent increase since 2015, Reuters reported.   
      
   City officials have secured 4,500 rooms within several city   
   hotels that signed up for the program after its recent   
   announcement, which will house those living on the streets and   
   in single-room occupancy buildings that share kitchens and   
   bathrooms.   
      
   Coronavirus strikes homeless in Los Angeles and Seattle as local   
   officials grapple with outbreak   
      
   California is under a statewide “safer-at-home” order, but the   
   nearly 10,000 who sleep on the city's streets every night are   
   often clustered in encampments and unable to socially distance.   
      
   “People are supposed to stay in, but I don’t see how that’s   
   possible when there’s a lot of us around,” Jackie Cismowski, who   
   has experienced homelessness periodically since 2012, told   
   Reuters while walking through the city’s Tenderloin district.   
      
   City officials have not specified which hotels signed up for the   
   program, citing healthy privacy laws and to avoid   
   stigmatization, Reuters reported.   
      
   Some hotels have raised concerns about the program, including   
   who would pay for potential property damage and whether   
   California laws would give those staying in the rooms tenancy   
   after 30 days.   
      
   Anand Singh, president of United Here Local 2, told Reuters the   
   city will be training hotel workers on how to avoid spreading   
   the virus between rooms when cleaning.   
      
   “You could end up in a situation where these crucial facilities   
   ... that are intended to stop the spread of COVID-19 could   
   instead lead to outbreak clusters,” Singh said.

   Some local lawmakers want the number of rooms increased to   
   14,000 so all the city's homeless and some from SRO buildings   
   can be housed, Reuters reported.
