某些官员的态度： 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.

当地政府的反应
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.
