| #14 I am going to be a super star! Going on shark tank next week with a no fail start up! Rehab old smelters and coke ovens from steel plants and open up a giant morgue and crematorium and chase government no bid contracts! Going to have to pay off epa people though I imagine those 500,000 thousand resin coffins fema stored a couple of so years back will give off bad has and cause the greenies all sorts of hysteria! Watch for me! |

| #10 Apparently the virus in its current form doesn't like temps over 'normal' at inception. Apparently it will morph itself to cope as the host temperature increases. |

| #8 Meth has the added benefit of making addicts look sketchy so everyone keeps their distance. This ensures they are only at risk of catching the flu from objects and objects tend to have a low tranmission rate compared to people. |

| #7 possibly due to the higher body temp? That's what some of the University Researchers are saying around here too, Frank. Apparently the virus in its current form doesn't like temps over 'normal'. That's why kids have been mostly unaffected as their body temperatures can be 'normal' at 99.2F and the elderly (with typical lower body temps than 98.6F) have been hit hardest. |

| #4 I am just wondering that it seems most if not all homeless have substance abuse problems.Drugs cost money, and if the homeless did not spend money on drugs, they might have enough money to afford housing.Would it not make sense to put people in substance abuse centers as opposed to handing out free needles? |

| #3 Well the one thing homeless have going for them is that meth has shown to give some protection to the flu. Maybe it works with COVID-19 as well. |

| #2 ..and we're blessed with activist lawyers and judges who believe plague has rights. They'll obstruct common sense public hygiene practices learned over hundreds of years of human experience. See - HIV |

| #1 These conditions are probably better for the virus there than they are in China. Even though areas of rural China are rugged, there are not too many large urban populations of homeless/helpless/hapless people. I am not where they go, but they don't stay downtown here. Skid row, the Tenderloin, and other California cesspools could really get hit hard. They are kind of begging for it. |
