COVID-19 outbreak shuts down entire police department in Illinois
NY Post ^ | 08/20/2021 | Joshua Rhett Miller

A COVID-19 outbreak has infected every member of a southwest Illinois police department, the town’s mayor said.

All three cops and the chief of police in Venice, a town of 2,100 outside St. Louis, have contracted the bug, forcing the department to shut down as they complete mandatory 10-day quarantines, Mayor Tyrone Echols told the Belleville News-Democrat Thursday.

“I think it’s everybody except for possibly two dispatchers,” Echols said of the department’s impacted employees, including Police Chief Theo Adams.

“He sounded pretty rough,” Echols said of the town’s top cop.

Venice will be patrolled by Illinois State Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout Madison County until its officers return to duty.

Wow, Covid. Blooming just as the Afghanistan hits the fan. What a coincidence.

And anyway, this story is 100% false. The media and Dr. Fraudi have assured me that only Florida is having a problem with Covid.

Since the vaccine status was not mentioned I think we can assume that they were all vaccinated

Viruses don’t shut things down; politicians do.

Finally, the convenience of a Cooties test, right in your home!

Precautions:

If this test is positive, it does not mean that you have the Cooties. You must see a Cooties professional.
If this test is negative, it does not mean that you do not have the Cooties. You must continue to test regularly if you are engaging in high-risk Cooties behavior.
Thank you for buying the Cooties test. Keep coming back! We want your money!

They always pump up the Covid balloon. It’s a permanent issue and source of dictatorship for them.

kinda strange the kung flu outbreaks haven’t inspired any of our government officials to close the border after jotato opened it during a so called “global pandemic”...

% of the police department “infected” (or rather, tested “positive” with the 94% false-positive PCR fest? 100

% of said “infected” who will die or be hospitalized? 0

But hey, lets shut down and quarantine anyway, because it’s all obviously working soooooo well.

There is one.

The viral cell culture.

But we’re using an epidemiological test instead.

Go figure.

Is the D-variant the name of the plan to extract Americans from Afghanistan?
