Some time ago I wrote a blog about whom the homeless were and how we are treating them. Since then there numbers have grown all over the country including my city. A little background about this issue is that I am and have been for 17 years on the board of a free medical clinic that treats those that have no insurance or Medicade patients that have no where else to go. About 10% of the homeless population are clients that we treat along with many of the legal aliens here for the university that are not eligible for Obama Care. For the last 3 years the city of Morgantown has been trying to get us to move our facilities out of the city as they believe the homeless will follow. They have succeeded in getting the Salvation Army to move their food kitchen which feed many of the homeless and also the United Way food pantry along with sleeping facilities for the homeless. We are the last holdouts but not for long. The city has offered $800.000 for us to buy another building out of the city and move from the present location in the city. We would have to agree to also move our Friendship House out of the city which is a place for people to receive aid in rehabilitation from drug and alcohol use. The money is coming from their Covid relief funds. There is no money for our operating costs which are derived from donations, the state, county and grants. Much of our care is given by volunteers.
If I were a news reporter and wanted to report truth without political bias I would start asking questions about the things that are affecting us the most. Right now the pandemic is affecting just about everyone but the news media and the Federal government are in lock step and each defends the other. The new mask wearing by vaccinated people is being propped up by the media by citing the raise in cases in Provincetown, MA. Its a joke because Provincetown is a very liberal city with a large gay population. and should have been following all of the Biden protocols but more than that it is a very highly visited tourist destination with main street filled with shops and restaurants. I have been going there every year except last year and omitted it from my travels this year because of the rise in Covid cases. It is a perfect place for the spread of a communicable disease with crowds of people in very limited space. I would ask what the infectious rate was in New York or Pittsburgh to compare the rise of the delta variant. Both the government and the media are pushing the idea that even if vaccinated you are very vulnerable to the disease which makes it hard to ask people especially young people to get vaccinated. The media is perpetuating the disease by reducing those getting vaccinated by just backing up what the CDC is saying instead of challenging them.
We have just celebrated another July forth and it was a great one after a year of shut down due to Covid. A Congressman from California, Maxine Waters, stated that the Declaration of Independence was for white men only. What a shame we have government leaders that do not know our history and want to rewrite it to fit their wishes and hate.
