You've listed some contagious diseases commonly found among homeless populations. These conditions are often linked to:

Poor sanitation and hygiene Limited access to healthcare Overcrowding in shelters Substance abuse Malnutrition

Here's a brief overview of each disease:

HIV (6.2-35%): Human Immunodeficiency Virus, potentially leading to AIDS.

Hepatitis B (17-30%): Liver infection, potentially causing chronic liver disease.

Hepatitis C (12-30%): Liver infection, often asymptomatic but potentially chronic.

Tuberculosis (1.2-6.8%): Bacterial infection affecting lungs, potentially spreading to others.

Scabies (3.8-56%): Skin infestation by mites, causing intense itching.

Body lice (7-22%): Parasites living on human bodies, spreading diseases.

Bartonella quintana (2-30%): Louse-borne disease causing fever, headache, and rash.

It’s $5 fine PER book. So if you have two kids and they each want 5 books that’s $50 JUST for a...
