There are a TON of folks that go in to those facilities, leave there and go to another one just like it every single day. Over and over and over. Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately I think that true Americans are going to have to fight and die again to remove the scourge that has infested our government at this point. This invasive invasion of our basic civil liberties is intolerable.

Oh man. An invasive invasion? We have to stop it!

I hear you. Please understand that the outside service providers that go in and out of those facilities are essential to the occupants’ health.

Without them, the residents don’t get proper medical care and...well you know what happens next.

I’m not speaking to any topic other than LTC and prisons. That’s an entirely different can of worms.

All I’m saying is he’s pumping up the numbers to justify what he’s doing when the numbers tell a different story. This all assuming the numbers are even close to accurate.

You seem to not understand the power that the Federal and State governments actually legally have. Nothing the government has done is illegal, unconstitutional, or a violation of your "basic civil liberties"...

Dude, I like your posts. I have to disagree here. If they are allowing prisoners to have visitors then it will become a revolving door for infections. It’ll spread fast in prison, out from the prison through the guards and visitors, etc. I do not think these numbers ought to be included in the state’s numbers.

Some state supreme courts have already ruled these extended shutdowns are unconstitutional and the US DOJ has said certain aspects of these orders are

I know of at least one state facility that hasn't allowed visitors since early March and assume that would be a statewide policy.

The testing of nursing homes and prisons is absolutely necessary . . . but it should have been done three weeks ago. To use those results now, when the effect on the shelter-at-home is now numbers driven, does seem like a CYA move.

I would hope they aren't allowing prison visitors since I've seen people who work in nursing homes post on there that their residents can't have visitors. That would be fricked up if you can't go visit your grandmother but you can go visit someone in prison
