I thought masks were the answer…..
A medical team from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco warned top health officials in the Department of Corrections weeks ago that San Quentin State Prison had “profoundly inadequate resources” to keep COVID-19 from exploding behind bars.
Now more than 450 inmates have tested positive for the virus, all in the last few weeks. The prison had been free of the virus until a group of medically vulnerable inmates were transferred there, away from a growing outbreak at a prison in Chino. Gov. Gavin Newsom says with more than 1,800 tests still pending, the case count is likely to rise even more.
The state had already been working to release early about 3,500 inmates who have six months or less left on their sentence and met other criteria, and Gov. Newsom now wants to see that number doubled.
“We’ll begin the process of reviewing their plans, making sure they have housing plans, parole plans,” Gov. Newsom said Wednesday. “We don’t want to just throw people out onto the streets and sidewalks, that wouldn’t be humane.”
The governor also wants to see intake procedures improve, although he admitted that much of the damage has already been done.
“Keep people cohorted that have been together so they stay together, so that we’re not transporting people to other prisons that may be pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic or haven’t been tested at all, only to find out that this virus is being transmitted,” Gov. Newsom said.

The elderly are kept in their “prisons”. If they have contact with anyone outside, they get 14 days quarantine. Why aren’t convicts treated the same. Lock them up, isolate them from anyone not tested. Why can’t convicts be treated the way our elderly are treated? At least the governments are not dumping infected people into their population.

@Ron Kells: Speaking of something to say… do you have anything to say or just more demonstration of your stupidity?
We KNOW who you are.
