Bivvy sack reinvented (again)

Every so often somebody comes up with a way to “help” the homeless survive winter. Sometimes it’s just the distribution of sleeping bags. Last time I noticed it, high schoolers had reinvented the bivvy sack. Now someone has reinvented the bivvy sack again and got media attention for it, too.

Never mind that public health and the operators of shelters have always maintained that it’s more important to get people inside on bitterly cold nights, not give them untested means of staying out, perilously, in the cold.
