I can't believe that more people aren't talking about the thousands of people currently being held in migrant detention centers all over the U.S. I believe that these people are going to be hit really hard by the coronavirus and that there will be many, many deaths as a result.
Last I heard, they were not allowing these people to get flu shots and I'm sure the fact that so many are packed together in small quarters will make things worse. They are unable to "socially isolate" or even to keep as clean as they need to in order to help protect against infection. I remember reading news articles about lawyers fighting to get these people toothbrushes and the basic necessities of daily living, for God's sake.
And think about all the children being held. I know they say that children aren't affected as much, but what about the kids with health problems or weak immune systems.
It keeps me feel sick inside to think about what is going to happen to all of them.

I think part of this nonresponse is to ensure that the people in cages die of it along with the homeless and SS recipients. Part of Stephen Miller's wet dream.
