Of course HIV can survive in the bay, fool.
Whether in the bay or next to a SF sidewalk bowel movement, HIV can survive in syringes for up to six weeks. Hepatitis C is detectable for two months.
So MIZ_COU, a word to the wise .... and to you too:
You needn't "attempt to think like a Yankee," but you should at least "attempt to think." Before trying to sell hyperbole like "plastic shopping bag trees," you should consider how such puerile nonsense undercuts what could be a viable argument.

Or stop taking it up the arse. That would also work

My good buddy from Iowa once lived in Missouri for 3 months but he won’t admit it. I’ve driven through your shithole state a couple of times going from Atlanta to Colorado and the only thing that I remember is the excessive number of billboards touting adult stores at every exit. WTF?!
Check your Northern ethnocentrism at the door.

All the left wants is to control all people and taking straws is control and drug addiction is great with left because drug addicts are easy to control
Evil is the Democrat Party!

Another "drop a shite post and haul arse" is more like it. Posters like you deserve to be banned for not sticking around to argue your point.

And, those syringes are made of plastic with metal needles. Prolly real easy to recycle...

You're not a serious person.
So much dumb in your comment.

I'm on the side of elimination of most plastics including single use plastics
So should we go back to steel dashboards and steel bumpers on cars. Many other components of cars and trucks make them lighter and increase gas mileage. Should we just toss out the byproducts of fossil fuel production that plastics come from and shut down those production plants? Get rid of the medical products that consist of plastics, etc, etc?
What, again, would be the purpose of "elimination of most plastics"?
Whats the point?

San Francisco hands out more free syringes to drug addicts — 400,000 a month and growing — than New York City, which has 10 times the population.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health oversaw the distribution of an estimated 4.5 million syringes last year, through various programs aimed at reducing HIV transmission and other health risks for injection drug users. Many of the needles wind up discarded on city streets, in parks and at homeless encampments. And they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to retrieve.
This year, the city is on track to hand out upward of 6 million syringes — which, with a city population of 884,363, works out to nearly seven syringes for every man, woman and child living here.
New York, by comparison, distributed 3.48 million syringes in 2016, according to the New York City Department of Public Health. In the first nine months of 2017, the latest data available, New York gave out 2.98 million, putting the city in line to hand out 3.7 million for the full year — one needle for every two residents.

Find you a sea turtle with needles stuck in it...

But you can't argue it by comparing it to plastic straws
the OP can and did compare the two. Stop being so dense. Clearly a syringe and a plastic straw are both single use plastic items. no idea why you went on an aids sidetrack.

ahh another common sense is what tells you the world is flat post. If only things were as simple as the way you southern belles think.
HIV can't survive in the bay so I'm not sure what your point is there (neither are you).
So, apparently HIV can survive in The Bay.
Blood tissue is drawn back into the syringe before injecting the drug .... thus the HIV/AIDS virus is drawn into the syringe.
Blood tissue then dries and closes the needle. The piston is, by nature, the sealing mechanism inside the syringe barrel so it prevents seawater from flooding the chamber.
The needles float in water but remain just subsurface along the beaches in the sand.
The real problem is that these needles are not only trashing San Fransisco parks and beaches but they are also showing up all along the entire west coast from Baja Mexico to Portland Oregon up into Canada and even along the shores of Alaska.
So San Fran's liberal socialist progressive policies are negatively affecting the entire western edge of two continents to include multiple countries and countless species of wildlife.
The needles will be floating to a shore in Asia sometime soon I would imagine.
Now Miss_Coose .... can you imagine what you libs might say were the shoe on the other foot? If Conservative politics were having this sort of direct and immediate negative impact on the environment?
