Not only is it crazy that prison inmates are being released due to coronavirus concerns, but according to reports, they're being released without being tested for coronavirus....at least not according to a county official in Los Angeles County, California anyway.
Inmates are allegedly being released without being given a coronavirus test. Which really does not make sense considering they are releasing the prisoners over concerns of the virus spreading. Yet they are not being tested? Wack.
The ones who are given tests are often not even told their results until after they have already been released. How much sense does this make??
The LA Times reports:
“We slowed our work down in court and shifted our resources to address the number of people released from jail,” said Peter Espinoza, a retired Superior Court judge who now heads the office. Espinoza said they added 211 beds in new housing sites, and found housing for more than 170 inmates in a two-week period. [Emphasis added]
He said inmates in L.A. County generally are not being tested for COVID-19 before their release unless they show symptoms and many service providers now are checking for symptoms when they arrive. [Emphasis added]
The LA Times specifically spoke about Frank Cooper, an inmate released from Riverside County, California Jail on April 24. He was not supposed to be released until November, but he was allowed to go and serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest.
Here's where it gets interesting. Cooper said that he'd been quarantined in jail, and also administered a test before he was released. However, he was never given the results so he went and got a test done himself. A week after he'd been released, he found out he was positive for COVID-19.
As if all this nonsense wasn't bad enough, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva released surveillance footage showing prisoners trying to infect themselves with coronavirus on purpose so that they would have a higher chance of being released.
Breitbart reports:
As of the beginning of May, California officials have released more than 5,500 inmates into local communities since March 11. On average, nearly 700 inmates are being released every week across the state.
I can't even wrap my mind around how absolutely stupid this is.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has brought the Bill Gates coronavirus testing program to a stop, pending reviews.
The program, which was sponsored by Bill Gates and Seattle health officials, sought to send tests to the homes of both sick and healthy people.

Maxine Waters: President Trump Only Worried About His 'White Power Pep Rallies'
"Everyone is racist" continues to be the battle cry of the left. Recently Rep. Maxine Waters said that President Trump couldn't care less about coronavirus death, but is far more concerned about re-opening the economy so he can hold his "white power pep rallies."
Waters tweeted, "Trump doesn’t care about the 80,000+ people who’ve died from #Coronavirus! He only wants to open up the economy so he can go back to having his white power pep rallies! The death & economic devastation we are facing is b/c Trump failed to act early & called #COVID19 a HOAX!"

San Diego Confirms What We've Been Suspecting All Along About The Virus
Last week, Supervisor Jim Desmond of San Diego gave us some of the information we've been looking for to confirm not simply a suspicion, but what we've already considered to be factual knowledge.
The number of deaths that are being reported by the media and government officials are not accurate. I would even venture to say that the real number of deaths would only be about 10-20% of what we're told.
