Productive citizens punished, homeless given a free pass

So France has been in lockdown for a few days now....

President Emmanuel Macron has ordered French residents to stay at home except for essential excursions such as going to the doctor, walking the dog, or going for a solitary run, and banned any gatherings.

For a two-week period that began Tuesday, people can go to work only if their employer cannot make tele-commuting possible.

But news reports have shown groups of friends and families strolling in parks despite the clampdown, prompting calls from some officials for even stricter limits.

Many have been observed ignoring the one-meter (three feet) safe inter-personal distance in queues at the essential businesses that were allowed to stay open.
And one thing that caught my eye was that people were required to remain at home. But what about the homeless?

Well, the French have been putting them in (essentially) camps which has (predictably) angered homeless advocates.

So when I heard that San Fagsisco was already on a (reduced) lockdown called "shelter in placae" and it was being extended to all of California, and seeing the homeless crisis and the SJW response of government there, I was left wondering what would happen.
What The City has sometimes euphemistically called “encampment resolutions,” and what everyone else calls homeless sweeps, will cease, at least for now.

I repeat: No more sweeps.
Oh good...law abiding citizens who own the local hardware store are required to remain in their homes hiding from a virus, while useless drug addled pieces of (literal) human trash are able to wander around to their hearts' content.

How long until some enterprising Californians start realizing they can just put on crappy clothes and no ID and go back to living their proper life?
