遍布街頭的流浪者！
（也許病毒早已在隨著這些不受關注，不受限製的自由人流浪四方。）
有多少人呢？

某些官員的態度： at least one city council member are pretending the homeless population isn’t more at-risk for catching and spreading coronavirus than other populations. This thinking is willfully ignorant and flat-out dangerous.

King County's homeless are becoming older and sicker, which leaves them more at risk to the novel virus.

當地政府的反應
As one emergency measure, King County Executive Dow Constantine said at a Monday news conference that the county would set up modular units to isolate patients who do not have a home address. The county had already bought 14 of these units, once used to house Texas oil workers, for its homelessness response.
In addition to the modular units, King County previously contracted with a firm in Marysville to build dormitory-style buildings to house 72 formerly unsheltered people. These buildings are now being included in the county’s quarantine plan for unhoused people, said Sherry Hamilton, communications director for King County’s Department of Community and Human Services.
The county is also buying a motel for patient isolation, Constantine said, though it’s not intended for homeless patients specifically.
