This has been researched and found impractical. First you have power conversions solar > electric > microwave > electric. Then the microwave transmission receiver has to grow at the square of the distance. Receivers need to be huge on the order of kilometers. Also to be stationary to the ground the satellites need to be in geo orbit making the distance huge.

What am I missing?

This is a pretty typical growth pattern. Industrial zone establishes and city is set far away in a safe area. City expands and resident need cheap housing. The cheap housing is built near the industrial zone as that is how economic forces work. People then see this and say they built industrial next to the poor people when the opposite occurred. Now the industry is giving cancer to poor people and needs to be punished. Who is right and who is wrong?

Has there been any work done on the severity of the COVID 19 variants? My understanding is variants of highly dangerous viruses rarely keep the high level of risk as the progenitors.

Does the delta variant and others pose the same risks? Are we over responding to a virus family group?

The issue with any paid approach is that surrounding area will begin dumping the local homeless there. Thats where they can "get the help they need" without the locality they are from paying for it. This is a hard problem that looks like it needs a federal solution.
