A quarter century ago the York County Commissioners discovered that they could take in almost double from the US Government per INS prisoner than what it actually cost to care for each detainee.
Over the course of a decade multiple bond issues were floated which eventually doubled the size of the prison.
Then Uncle Sam got wise to the scheme.
Now the other shoe has dropped.

Only proves what the President said...Take more tests, pick up more cases. It's a guarantee.
Now, how many actually have symptoms? How many were hospitalized? How many have died.
The count is just for Fauci...and his little numbers game.

The most despicable excuse I hear was we have to let them go because they may all get the virus and stay right where they are.

200 means 20 according to the new CDC guidance, right?

Take more tests, pick up more cases. Yea and then CDC tells us that there is a 90% false positive for our testing. Given that and the total fraud on how they counted people who did not die form Covit in the stats, no body has any idea whats really going on.
But trust the science, just because their math is off by a magnitude does not mean they not smarter than the rest of us.

We had about the same number test positive in our local jail last week. All were asymptomatic. I have a friend who is a detective who says that when they find out that someone has it, they have them cough on them so they can try to catch it. He says they think they will be released.
To: lightman
Too bad.
Don’t do things that get you sent to prison.
We don’t need one more felon on the streets right now.

200 positives out of 1400 is like the cruise ship numbers.
Moet minor with a couple of hospitalizations.
No deaths. Prisons, cruise ships and Nursing homes are petri dishes for the virus excrpt the old folks die easily.

MSN News reported: (May 7, 2020 by Hannah Dineen)
Under the CARES Act, hospitals can add 20% to their fee for treating a COVID-19 patient on Medicare.
According to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average medicare payment for a COVID-19 patient is around $13,000. If a patient is on a ventilator for at least four days, Medicare may pay out around $40,000.

There’s money, government money, in saying someone has Covid. Cuomo types live on that cash. Patients die.
