Data for: WHEN BASIC SUPPLIES ARE MISSING, WHAT TO DO? SPECIFIC DEMANDS OF THE LOCAL STREET POPULATION IN TIMES OF CORONAVIRUS – A CONCERN OF SOCIAL PSYCHIATRY

Homeless experts and some federal housing officials are sounding the alarm that the patchwork of government efforts to address the coronavirus outbreak risks leaving out one group of acutely vulnerable people: the homeless.
In terms of isolation, it is too unclear what that looks like if you normally sleep on the streets. In this tough moment, when people should be turned away, not only it feels inhumane, but it is also a big public health risk, because where are they going to go?
With more cities suspecting community transmission of the novel coronavirus, people who sleep in shelters or hunker down outside already have a lower life expectancy and often have underlying health conditions that put them at greater risk if they develop COVID-19.
A large population of homeless people experience their pain and psychological distress intermittently. For low-income patients, the various borderline situations related to health/illness involve growing expectations regarding the basic needs. This is a serious concern when linked to the pandemic

无家可归的专家以及部分联邦住房官员正拉响警报，指出针对冠状病毒疫情所采取的零散政府措施，可能遗漏了一个极度脆弱的群体：无家可归者。就隔离而言，若平时惯于街头露宿，其具体情形显得尤为模糊不清。在此艰难时刻，若人们被拒之门外，不仅显得缺乏人性，更构成一项重大的公共卫生风险，因为他们的去处又在何方？随着更多城市怀疑新型冠状病毒的社区传播，那些在庇护所住宿或在外躲藏的人们本就寿命较短，且往往伴有潜在的健康状况，若感染COVID-19，则风险倍增。大量无家可归者间歇性地承受着他们的痛苦和心理压力。对于低收入患者而言，与健康/疾病相关的各种边缘状况，涉及对基本需求的期望日益增长。当与疫情相联系时，这便成为一项严重的关切。
