They are mammals (so, somewhat similar to humans in some ways.....ie they can carry viruses that can also infect other mammals like humans), they fly long distances (they can spread things far and wide), they come into contact with humans (anecdotally, but I remember being in Sydney Australia at night and seeing a ton of bats flying around above). All three factors together = they are good at spreading disease.

I saw a place with an internal 'bedroom' that had a tiny window in one wall facing the rest of the apartment. Just so they could say it was a bedroom lol

So you get them out of McPherson, and they just go elsewhere. It's literally not a solution. Not to mention that they'll just move elsewhere, aka another park. And these raids will often result in them losing their possessions and relevant documents (IDs, paperwork, etc).

I get what everyone else is saying but other than ensuring these folks set up camp elsewhere in the city + literally not addressing the root causes of why they are there in the first place , what exactly is everyone here hoping this will accomplish??

Wow. Are you me?!? Because I am in this exact position lol the pay increase would be huge but I don't know if the commute would be worth it

If the weather is nice a picnic at the national arboretum could be nice. You can do a bike rental and ride over.

Whole Foods on H St has whole ducks, that's where I've gotten mine before.

This is correct, also concentrating the cells presenting antigen and the cells that need antigen to activate/multiply increases the rate at which an immune response occurs. I can't remember the exact numbers but lots of T cells can contact dendritic cells per hour when they are stationary in a Lymph Node, increasing the odds that the correct ones are found; and then those activated T cells can go help other cells out, like B cells, which are also located in high numbers in the lymph nodes. It's essentially all about efficiency.
