I noticed soup kitchens for the homeless are shutting down ( their now just passing out packed lunches ) through the back door at a lot of places . homeless shelters are taking temps of anyone looking for shelter & if they have symptoms they are turned away from getting a bed . current homeless at the shelters also getting checked & things constantly getting wiped down like furniture , tables ,etc......... I have a friend who is homeless & bounces around a lot from place to place ( state to state ) I've been worried sick about her , I hope she is o.k & safe .
Social distancing is going to hurt the panhandling market for sure. Last person people will want to be near is a homeless person, so no hand to hand exchanges. I don't usually give to panhandlers, because I know what they spend it on, but I did yesterday I did.
