Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Matt Sorum and his wife, Adriane "Ace" Harper, were interviewed earlier today (Saturday, April 11) on the Facebook page of Global Hack, a technology marathon which aims to create solutions that help people stop the spread of coronavirus and stimulate the economy. You can now watch the chat below. Speaking about the fact that unhoused people are among the most vulnerable of contracting the deadly novel coronavirus, Sorum said: "The people I worry about right now are a lot of the homeless out in the streets in L.A.

As of this past Thursday (April 9), there were 20 confirmed cases among the Los Angeles county's homeless population, up from 12 on Wednesday. Of those 20, all but four were not in shelters.
