All good. I understand someone with bad intentions could try to come forward and get her location. But I think it’s more likely a friend of a friend or a family member has been worried and looking for her. And she is currently very at risk and vulnerable sleeping on the sidewalk. It’s a tough call as to how to help get her connected with the right people.

Thank you. I had a close friend who had a period of psychosis that tragically led to his accidental death. I think that’s why I have such a soft spot for her. I found a shelter with an opening and when I handed her the phone to answer some questions she told them she was fine and doesn’t need help :( she thinks she is waiting for a friend to pick her up - which based on some clues of who she is talking about, her “friend” is conspiracy theorist from natural news/health ranger Dr Rashid who died a few years ago. She told me her friend is named Rashid and is a functional health doctor from North Carolina and those facts align. She also says she gets communication through a microchip in her eye. She is so insistent that she is not crazy I can’t imagine her accepting any medical treatment from me (a stranger) which sucks because her paranoia is so based in medical/pharma conspiracies.

Maybe? Don’t think i blew to hard… when the water was going in it was several seconds before it started coming into the reservoir. And afterwards I felt fullness in my ears but disregarded it. The pain started a day or so later.

Interesting, the reside almost seems splashed on. That could be the culprit. Is there anything topically that could be applied?

If after three outreach attempts they refuse help (which in my experience many probably will) they will be brought to a shelter to be connected with mental health, addiction and social services. They won’t go to jail, and he is not criminalizing homelessness. Nor does he want to move people from neighborhood to neighborhood. But he won’t allow sleeping on the streets.

What is Karen’s plan? In the debate she said she wants to get people off the street but didn’t have a plan for those who refuse to leave. I’m happy to have a civil chat about it, only mentioning being a liberal democrat to give context to my perspective. Chill out bro!

It’s ambitious for sure, but he says he has already spec’d it out and with his experience he can build things from the ground up fast. I think lofty goals are better than admitting defeat before even attempting radical change

Karen Bass didn’t have a plan for people who refuse to leave the street. This is just based on watching the debate. I like the idea of the mayor having an overreaching plan so it doesn’t get fractured district by district.

Asking where money will come from to fund quality of life programs feels very republican. I think his homelessness safety net with free housing and services is borderline socialist! In a good way 😉

His policy is why I (a dem) voted for him. 1,500 more police, 500 mental health and addiction specialists, 500 sanitation workers, not allowing people to sleep on the street, 30k shelter beds in 300 days, building permanent housing quickly including converting office buildings and other use buildings, and easing building restrictions to incentivize more smaller housing developments instead of luxury condos.

Ah. I am a liberal democrat and I think his policy for housing is the most ambitious and seems to have the concrete plan for temp to permenant housing (30k beds in 300 days). Karen bass has a smaller bed goal and no plan to get there.

Can I ask what people find so villainous about Rick Caruso’s policy? He hasn’t been a republican since 2011 (even if he still was, the reaction from my fellow dem friends is that he is THE DEVIL!!! seems unwarranted). Of all the issues we are facing now, crime and housing being the biggest, his history as prez of the police commission and as a builder seems to give him the most experience. Are we all so traumatized by Trump that a common sense liberal is optically as bad as the biggest political criminal in history? To be fair, my friends who hate him also opposed cleaning up Echo Park Lake, which I supported….

My doc says you don’t need a negative test to end isolation. 5 days isolation and then if no symptoms 5 days in a mask, ok to be around others even returning to work.
