LETTER: The Las Vegas homeless and social distancing
April 8, 2020 - 9:00 pm
The say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. The April 1 Review-Journal nailed it. Page 9A had a picture of homeless people waiting to be screened to enter a shelter in the Cashman Center parking lot. The homeless in line were too close together.
Gov. Steve Sisolak has been telling us to keep at least a six-foot distance between each other. The official who was organizing this temporary shelter should have told the homeless to keep such a distance. This is not a time to be politically correct, so get out there like a nice drill sergeant and order them to keep a safe distance. The government does not need to encourage the spread of the virus.
