Question: What should a homeless person do if they develop COVID19 symptoms?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People Experiencing Homelessness
section_headers: If people experiencing homelessness have symptoms
section_content: Any person experiencing homelessness with symptoms consistent with COVID-19
 ( fever, cough, or
shortness of breath ) should alert their service providers (such as case
managers, shelter staff, and other care providers). These staff will help the
individual understand how to isolate themselves and identify options for
medical care as needed.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer refers specifically to what a homeless person should do if they have COVID-19 symptoms although there is not much information there beyond getting a hold of case managers, shelter staff, and other providers, especially if the person truly has no one to turn to.
Specifically addresses the question of what homeless people should do if they get COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer gives anyone who is homeless guidance to contact shelter staff, case managers, or "other care providers" not does not account for people who may not have these contacts. Should they go to the ER on their own?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People Experiencing Homelessness
section_headers: Anyone sick with COVID-19 should stay isolated
section_content: Those with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should stay in a place where they
can best be isolated from other people to prevent spreading the infection.
Local health departments, housing authorities, homeless service systems, and
healthcare facilities should plan to identify locations to isolate those with
known or suspected COVID-19 until they meet the criteria to end
isolation.
Isolation housing could be units designated by local authorities or shelters
determined to have capacity to sufficiently isolate these people. If no other
options are available, homeless service providers should plan for how they can
help people isolate themselves while efforts are underway to provide
additional support.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Addresses how to care for homeless people with coronavirus, but is aimed at social services workers instead of homeless people themselves.
Refers in the last paragraph to "homeless service providers" but does not address what the homeless person themselves must do.

Question: Do weather conditions affect the spread of the COVID-19 virus?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: How COVID-19 Spreads
What temperature kills the virus that causes COVID-19?
section_content: Generally coronaviruses survive for shorter periods at higher temperatures and
higher humidity than in cooler or dryer environments. However, we don’t have
direct data for this virus, nor do we have direct data for a temperature-based
cutoff for inactivation at this point. The necessary temperature would also be
based on the materials of the surface, the environment, etc. Regardless of
temperature please follow CDC’s guidance for cleaning and
disinfection.

Will warm weather stop the outbreak of COVID-19?
section_content: It is not yet known whether weather and temperature affect the spread of
COVID-19. Some other viruses, like those that cause the common cold and flu,
spread more during cold weather months but that does not mean it is impossible
to become sick with these viruses during other months. There is much more to
learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with
COVID-19 and investigations are ongoing.

section_headers: How COVID-19 Spreads
Why are we seeing a rise in cases?
section_content: The number of cases of
COVID-19 being reported in the United States is rising due to increased
laboratory testing and reporting across the country. The growing
number of cases in part reflects the rapid spread of COVID-19 as many U.S.
states and territories experience community spread. More detailed and accurate
data will allow us to better understand and track the size and scope of the
outbreak and strengthen prevention and response efforts.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer only talks about the number of testing cases and not the weather.
This really doesn't address the issue of the weather and how it relates to the pandemic at all.

Question: Do roads and sidewalks need to be disinfected to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Cleaning and Disinfection
Should sidewalks and roads be disinfected to prevent COVID-19?
section_content: CDC does not recommend disinfection of sidewalks or roads. Spraying
disinfectant on sidewalks and roads is not an efficient use of disinfectant
supplies and has not been proven to reduce the risk of COVID-19 to the public.
The risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 from these surfaces is
very low and disinfection is not effective on these surfaces.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer clearly addresses the core of the question immediately and gives rationale as to why it is not recommended to disinfect roads and sidewalks.
This directly says that sidewalks don't need to be cleaned.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Cleaning and Disinfection
Is cleaning alone effective against the virus that causes COVID-19?
section_content: Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers
and the risk of spreading infection. If a surface may have gotten the virus on
it from a person with or suspected to have COVID-19, the surface should be
cleaned and disinfected. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer refers to "surfaces" that should be cleaned that seem to be referencing indoor surfaces and not outdoor ones.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Cleaning and Disinfection
Should outdoor playgrounds, like those at schools or in parks, be cleaned and disinfected to prevent COVID-19?
section_content: Outdoor areas generally require normal routine cleaning and do not require
disinfection. Spraying disinfectant on outdoor playgrounds is not an efficient
use of disinfectant supplies and has not been proven to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 to the public. You should maintain existing cleaning and hygiene
practices for outdoor areas. If practical, high touch surfaces made of plastic
or metal, such as grab bars and railings, should be cleaned routinely.
Cleaning and disinfection of wooden surfaces (e.g., play structures, benches,
tables) or groundcovers (e.g., mulch, sand) is not recommended.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer does refer to "outdoor areas" but seems to be mostly concerned with playgrounds. While "outdoor areas" could cover sidewalks and roadways it is too vague a term to be a conclusive answer.
This answer addresses the need for cleaning of outdoor structures.  Sidewalks are outdoors.  I'm sure anyone asking about cleaning sidewalks would be happy with this answer.
