BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Warren County Jailer Stephen Harmon, eight deputy jailers and 101 inmates are COVID-19 positive.
There are 92 inmate tests pending and six staff tests pending.
“Thanks to the steadfast jail management and sanitation efforts, Warren County Regional Jail has been among the only few county jails with no COVID positive inmates, until now...
The majority of COVID positive inmates are asymptomatic. None of the inmates are hospitalized or experiencing severe symptoms.
Coronavirus is again ravaging N.J. nursing homes. Here’s where it’s hitting the hardest. Posted Dec 06, 2020
For seven months, Shady Lane Nursing Home in Gloucester County was a happy exception.
In a state where thousands of seniors have died at long-term care facilities during the coronavirus pandemic, residents of Shady Lane were seemingly spared. A small, government-run, nursing home in East Greenwich, it closed its doors to visitors and outside contractors, instituted a “robust” testing program, and saw not a single resident test positive all through the dangerous days of the spring, its administrator said.
Yet despite the precautions, the deadly virus still managed to make its way into the 60-bed facility. And with disastrous results.
The first positive tests came in early October, after an asymptomatic employee is believed to have brought the disease into the building. Five days later, Shady Lane publicly recorded its first death. By late last month, at least 31 residents and 21 staffers had been infected with COVID-19 — and 13 residents had died of its complications, according to the state.

Until now. And now, suddenly, almost all have it. Just in time for a couple paid weeks off for quarantine. How convenient. Nope, make them work with the positive prisoners. Why risk anyone else.
Please release every last one of the inmates on the front lawn of Mitch McConnell.
It will be an act of extreme kindness.
What cases as these indicate, along with states that now have a high infection rate that never had one before, is that those who never were infectious often inevitably become so, while those who get infected and recover - as almost all do - retain resistance against future possible reinfection. And thus unless a vaccine works and those who are in real danger of death get vaccinated, then the quarantine mode is pointless.
This is the same as at colleges. Cases just mean that it is very contagious. So is perhaps a form of a common cold that goes through a classroom.... in the old days. The diffference is that people don't get tested for other diseases with a 99.7 survival rate unless it is making them very sick with symptoms.
"Asymptomatic" = false-positive
“Asymptomatic” = false-positive
*******
Yep. and not on accident.
So, the real issue here is why are the usual suspects trying to force a general emptying of the county jail?
Retest with different test kits. I suspect a bad batch of test kits.
Did they all drink Coca-Cola? /s
Actually It is reported that "A new study says asymptomatic coronavirus spread might far more rare than most experts believe — a new study says the more severe the illness, the more likely it is for a COVID-19 patient to infect others.
