Does the number of Make America Great flags per capita by city have any relation to the high number of Covid cases? Cause it is pretty great to have the most cases. You win, Paso!

Didnt a self proclaimed genius say heat would rid us of this virus, and it just so happens we live in one of the hottest places on earth and case counts climbs? You know, our president? 3rd highest cause of all death in America is now Coivd. Woop woop. Yet that small loud mouthed demographic says it’s a hoax. I see them here In Paso and hear them frequently. One by the name of John Hammon, he said ” covid is no worse than the flu”, and hes “not scared”. Good for him, I for one have a kid and dont want to die yet.

Unlike the seasonal flu, Covid sometimes leaves long lasting damage to the lungs, cardiovascular system, etc. for people who have “recovered.” That’s what concerns me the most. You don’t hear that about seasonal flu, or at least I have never heard that.

Unfortunately, CMC inmates seem to be counted on our active cases list, implying that SLO county still has the prevalent community spread of a couple months ago. The reality is that there are much fewer daily cases across the non-incarcerated parts of the county.

And the non-Paso parts of the county.


And still, all of the mortalities (sadly) are the elderly and already health-impaired.

So being in a prison is some how different than let’s say, Cal Poly, a grocery store, a grade school? Why word yourself like that. Just because theyre incarcerated doesnt make them less human, Paso loves to dismiss its covid numbers by saying “our area code”, which sounds so idiotic, BS. Blame Parkinson for the crap that goes on in there, he is the boss after all. And he failed to keep his inmates safe, that’s his only damn job there. Blame Dow for failure of Church and State, the traitor. Keep jesus out of Democracy and any other “Guru”.

I’m pretty sure Parkinson’s job is a little more than keeping county jail inmates safe…I’m confident his priorities are a little more far reaching.


12

When did Parkinson be responsible for a state prison??


15

You certainly like to get melodramatic, don’t you. The difference is that the prison is an isolated population. It’s not representative of the spread throughout the rest of the (free) community.

Oh, I guess prisons dont have any staff who live in you know, the community, or have any inmate transfers. Oops.
