“ou seem to be expressing which says that, because you are in a high-risk group, you expect the ENTIRE WORLD to shut down to accommodate you.”
I most certainly did not say that. I wouldn’t say it, because I don’t believe people have to accommodate me. I’ve always fended for myself.
Geez, what’s your problem? Ghosts in your closet again? Monsters under your bed?
Same with gun control - how many weapons find their way into this ‘perfect’ closed ecosystem. Ergo, the quotes.
how many hospitalized and how many deaths???
I have a general question...
1800 positive cases of Coronavirus out of 2500 inmates is a 71% infection rate. The prison is a ‘perfect’ closed ecosystem, to help discern infection rates etc...on paper.
And yet, so is the Princess Cruise infection rate was reported to be 20%.
And so is the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which had a 589/4845 = 12% infection rate.
How is this possible?

As some here have suggested, many prisoners are not in that great of health due to poor lifelong habits. Who knows how well things are kept clean in prisons.
People on active-duty service are probably in better health than the general population. Even though there is a weight problem in the military, many young men and women try to keep trim. Those on a military vessel are younger on average than the general population and as much as there are barracks inspections and such, troops try to keep their quarters clean.
Those taking cruises, while often older, are well off enough to afford cruises. This, plus they are on vacation and presumably having fun on a cruise, means that perhaps their stress level is low and immunity high. Plus, maybe all the drinks at the bar are killing the virus cells trying to divide and multiple in their throats.
Thanks for the update that all were tested.
Interesting that 2500 tested, 1800 were infected, 700 negative, and only one worker died.
Not to be skeptical but were all of the inmates immediately given hydroxychloroquine upon testing positive?
If so, that would be a great clinical trial, that even Fauci could wrap his arms around and bless.
Pick a zip code in a random city and test 1,800 people and see the occurrence of a positive serology. I’m betting this virus was ubiquitous back in December.
Great test subjects. Like an aircraft carrier.
The high rate of infection in the prison is further evidence that the number of infections among the general populace is also probably much higher than believed, giving us some hope that despite all of the social distancing we might nonetheless be on the way to herd immunity.
The only humane thing to do is to release them into the governor’s mansion so he can care for his voting constituents.
Most likely the disease was brought into the facility by a member of the staff. The fact that not one inmate has died is very telling. And did they test for people who have antibodies. Most likely many of those that tested negative have already had the disease and have recovered.
I hate to tell you this, but this lockdown is not going to keep you from being exposed to the virus. You and me and everyone on this forum has either already been exposed or will be exposed sooner or later. This is not a “Stop the Virus” exercise. It is “Slow the Spread”. That means they are just prolonging the inevitable.
Good luck. Take vitamins and get an early prescription for HCQ and zinc.
Not worried. It’s highly unlikely I’ll get it.
By the way, I didn’t say I liked or wanted the lock-down. I don’t like it at all. I would have been fine without it...and still not gotten the bug.
Drives me crazy how people read between the lines and use their imaginations to fill in the blanks..

“Don’t they test prison employees for the CV?”
To even have a chance of isolating the facility from the virus, they would have to test every single person every single time they left and reentered the place.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Precisely!
those who think they can have zero infections and zero deaths are insane
“Slow the Spread” was to allow a lower rate for Health Care facilities to be able to treat.
