#atxcouncil: Meanwhile, the Homeless aren't "social distancing"

"If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked."
Proverbs 29:12

This speaks for itself:

I went to downtown Austin to see if the homeless were practicing social distancing. They weren’t. Also getting more territorial and violent. No law enforcement in sight. pic.twitter.com/zTEJQ3YBiu

So, at a time when the rest of us are being told to hostage in place, the city is letting the homeless continue to run wild.

Lovely.

As we've stated previously, under normal circumstances we tend to think that the "public health" argument is exaggerated.  But we're not currently in normal circumstances.  For where we are right now, homeless encampments ought to be the first place to go.

Instead, they're the one thing being protected.

Bottom Line: This really does tell you everything you need to know.
