Oregon officials scramble to save Portland amid homelessness, crime crisis
Tent cities, or homeless encampments, can be a public health hazard because they can spread disease. People experiencing homelessness are at higher risk of infectious and non-infectious diseases. 
Diseases that can spread in tent cities
  • Hepatitis A, B, and C: These viral hepatitis diseases can spread quickly in unhygienic conditions 
  • Tuberculosis (TB): This infectious disease can spread quickly in unhygienic conditions 
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): This disease can spread quickly in unhygienic conditions 
  • Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): This disease can spread in unhygienic conditions 
  • Typhus: This ancient disease has resurfaced in homeless encampments 
  • Cholera: This acute infection can spread through contaminated water or seafood 
  • Salmonella: This foodborne illness can cause typhoid fever, which includes symptoms like high fever and abdominal pain 
  • Streptococcus: This deadly strain can kill people experiencing homelessness 
  • Shigella: This foodborne illness can cause blood diarrhea 
Other factors that contribute to disease in tent cities
  • Lack of access to care: Treatment for wounds can be delayed, leading to serious infections 
  • Poorly controlled health conditions: Comorbid health conditions like diabetes can increase susceptibility to infection 
  • Unattended hazardous materials: Trash left behind at encampments can contain hypodermic needles and other hazardous materials

Where my SKF Lab friend took me, in 1982, every event, to keep me sober 😭. He had PCP & passed away. RIP 1984 Robertson Log Cabin, sitting with dying AIDS patients: In 1982, as AIDS became a public concern, a sense of fear and anxiety spread through the population, particularly targeting gay men. The initial association of the disease with the LGBTQ+ community, along with the lack of understanding and effective treatment, fueled stigma and discrimination. The CDC first used the term "AIDS" in 1982, and the fear of transmission and the potential for the disease to spread in the general population was a major concern.  Here's a more detailed look at the public perception and reaction to AIDS in 1982: Initial Fear and Misconceptions: AIDS was initially referred to as "GRID" (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency), further fueling the misconception that it was solely a gay disease. This misconception contributed to a climate of fear and discrimination against gay men. ...
