    White House to distribute 400 million free N95 masks starting next week. [Free read link]
    Washington Post (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 80% • 4 min read

    The N95 masks will come from the government’s Strategic National Stockpile. U.S. officials are starting to ship masks at the end of this week. The masks will be available at pharmacies and federal community health centers late next week. The program will be fully up and running by early February. There will be three masks available per adult.
    ...
    Officials did not address how they would prevent someone from visiting pharmacies frequently and getting masks each visit. Pharmacies and health centers will be given a variety of domestically produced models of government-approved N95 respirators. Special surgical N95 masks are reserved for health-care workers and will not be given out.
    ...
    The CDC says “loosely woven cloth coverings” offer the least protection. Well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95 masks offer more protection. Well-fitting respirators, including N95 masks, offer the highest level. N95 respirators are designed to filter at least 95% of particles, as their name implies.

Should mentally ill homeless people be institutionalized?

536 votes, 78 comments

Context: NYC mayor promises more policing and increased social services after homeless man kills woman.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - The word "institutionalized" has negative connotations from years of poor living conditions and treatment in the past. However, getting rid of these institutions has simply been replaced by criminalizing homelessness and mental illness. Prison time then creates even worse consequences since it affects their future employment and housing options. Community programs (including adequate funding, staffing, and space) must be made available for these individuals.


Unsure - If they're a threat to themselves or others, yes. But, in most other cases, other methods of treat...



No - “Mentally ill” is a very broad term — millions of people with major depression or anxiety disorders can be defined as ...
