My tiny town has been inundated with homeless people. I have no idea why they would want to stop in a rural mountain town that is poor and isolated with few services but they do. Recently they have been dying at an alarming rate - 2 or 3 per week. Bad fentanyl hit the market. So many have died we don’t have nearly the problem we had six months ago. It’s like when HIV first started. Oh, this disease kills it drug users and gay men? We will get around to it.
