Churches across the country will be opening up May 31 (Pentecost Day)
they will face legal repercussions if members fall ill and/or die from the virus...
Not smart... I ain’t stepping foot into a church. For years they’ve preached it’s more than a building, that church is the people, not a brick-and-mortor physical place... now they’re crying that they are being persecuted cuz they can’t gather and are now going to willfully show civil disobedience... when this affects the church w pastors being fined and locked up, that’s unfair. My tithes aren’t for bailing out my pastor for being ignorant, it’s to support them for other things. smh it’s gonna get messy

it’s hilarious to hear ppl say “omg the death toll isn’t what they said! and hospitals are empty! they aren’t being overwhelmed!”
doofus, that’s the way it was supposed to work... 80k dead in two months is more deadly than the flu... by Aug it’s projected to be at least 130k, and that’s w all these orders in place. They’re mad that MORE people ARENT dead.. wild
Let the retards go back to life. Let them raise the death toll. Let them overwhelm hospitals. Let them infect the ones the love.
WE are staying home and following the orders throughout 2020

I’m not really surprised because a lot of prisons are over crowded how can you social distance in a section when it built for 200 but got 300?

Tracking the Spread of Coronavirus in Prisons
A new Marshall Project effort has collected data on the prevalence of COVID-19 among prisoners and prison staff. Here’s what we know after one month of reporting.

Jails and prisons are ideal environments for an infectious disease to spread. They are, by design, often packed as much as possible, thus limiting the possibility of social distancing. They also severely limit access to hygiene products — the sheriff in Cook County had to proactively let inmates use sanitizer, which is normally prohibited due to its alcohol content, and soap and water can be hard to get. Even among staff, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks remains difficult to access.
The outbreaks are concerning not just because of the impact they can have on inmates, staff members, and their families, but also because the events can spill over beyond the correctional facilities. Millions of inmates go in and out of prisons, and particularly jails, each year, returning to their communities. Staff members go home at the end of their shifts. Inmates’ family members can visit — although that’s become much harder, if not impossible, due to the pandemic.
And if there’s an outbreak in a jail or prison, it can strain nearby health care systems as inmates and staff are sent to local hospitals and clinics that are better equipped to treat Covid-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, than correctional facilities.
So to get the coronavirus pandemic under control, experts say, the nation will need to get outbreaks in jails and prisons under control, too. This means releasing more vulnerable and less dangerous inmates early, as some jails and prisons have been doing. It means making sure inmates and staff have better access to hygiene products and PPE. It means a change in how jails and prisons fundamentally operate — allowing more room for social distancing and quarantining, or otherwise isolating inmates and staff when necessary.

Jails and prisons in the US are reporting coronavirus outbreaks. That’s bad for everyone.
