Robert Boast, a homeless 60-year-old Toronto man with incurable prostate and colon cancer, told White Coat, Black Art that he is more frightened of catching COVID-19 than dying from cancer. Dr. Naheed Dosani, a palliative care doctor, who is also managing Peel Region's COVID-19 homelessness response, says COVID-19 is hitting vulnerable populates like a "guided missle."
