Well it's been 4hrs since my last post, and after refreshing the tracker I'm watching, 25,000 more cases were reported.

One of my wife's patients is a prison guard and was showing symptoms of Covid-19 a couple weeks ago, but the state required her to work unless medically prescribed not to. Well that patient's results came back positive today. In the meantime, we can be sure the prison population is just now starting to enjoy that little gift.

I know it's normal to care a bit less for those in prison. Don't know why they didn't take it seriously there, because if there's anything prisons are stingy about, it's providing medical transports. When I cut my knee with a chainsaw, there was a conversation about how expensive it would be to take me somewhere, so they had some woman (nurse maybe?) who doesn't normally perform sutures close my wound up. I did get a couple days off from landscaping parks. My point is, the death rates will be much higher in prison because you've got to be actively dying before they provide care.
