The two immediate take-aways from this story is:
1) Where are the mass dead? The same can be asked of the homeless. Where are the staggering numbers? There aren’t. Death rates are actually lower than projected.
2) They didn’t have to release thousands of criminals while criminalizing going to the beach or moms taking their kids to the park.

More Than 70% Of Federal Inmates Tested For Coronavirus Showed Positive Results
More than 70% of federal prisoners tested for coronavirus had tests that returned positive, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
By Daily Caller, May 1, 2020:
Of approximately 2,700 inmates, 71% of them — at least 1,928 — tested positive for coronavirus. Some prison officials expect the number to rise as they expand testing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Officials have said that death and infection rates inside prisons are lower than national rates, but health experts say it’s impossible to know the extent of the problem without broader testing, the Journal reported.
Testing so far has only covered less than 2% of the 153,000 inmates in the federal system. The low testing rate reflects that of the general U.S. population, but prisons and jails face relatively unique challenges in regards to physical distancing measures, which are difficult to implement due to security measures and the cramped, communal living quarters.

“Really, this pandemic is challenging us to rethink almost everything we do, while keeping in mind the security requirements of correctional facilities,” Jeffrey Allen, medical director for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said in an interview Wednesday with the Journal.
At least 31 prisoners have died from the virus and at least 343 employees have tested positive, not including the 132 employees that have recovered.
Among the dead is a woman whose baby was delivered by Caesarean section while she was on a ventilator. As many as 130 prisoners are hospitalized with the virus on any given day, Allen told the Journal.
Prisons have suspended visitation, limited transfers of inmates between facilities and begun placing newly arriving prisoners in 14-day quarantine in an effort to corner the virus.

Does than mean we should release 70% of the inmates?

Release of prisoners is part of A.G. Barr’s policy!
Yes, you read that right.
Former GOP Rep Was To Be Released from Jail Over COVID Fears,
Now Order’s Been Rescinded: Report
By Randy DeSoto
Published April 30, 2020 at 6:03pm
Former Republican Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas was reportedly pulled from a list of inmates at a minimum security prison who were being transferred to home confinement amid the coronavirus pandemic, despite having several risk factors that increase his chances of dying should he contract the disease.
Stockman, who was a fierce critic of former President Barack Obama and officials in his administration, has been imprisoned for over two years so far as part of a 10-year sentence after being found guilty in April 2018 of violations of campaign-finance law and other related charges.
His wife, Patti Stockman, told The Western Journal her husband was informed in
Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, was released under this program after having served less than a year of his three-year sentence for bank fraud, tax evasion, and campaign finance violations.
According to the Bureau of Prisons website, in according with Barr’s guidance over 1,800 inmates have been released to home confinement so far.
When Steve Stockman showed up at the appointed time and place to begin his 14-day quarantine prior to being released, a prison official at the federal prison he is being held in Beaumont, Texas, told him his name had been pulled from the list, according to his wife.
Patti Stockman pointed out that her husband has multiple risk factors that should make him among the most eligible to be transferred to home confinement, including being in his mid-sixties with Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
She added that his lungs are scarred from severe asthma he struggled with in years past and that he is overweight.
“Steve is a sitting duck waiting for this virus to hit, because he’s got all the risk factors,” Patti said, noting that inmates live in close quarters.
…
That guidance says people who are at higher risk for serious illness due to COVID-19 include those 65 and older, have diabetes, are severely overweight or have “moderate to severe asthma.”
…
An additional criterion is the nature of the criminal conviction of the inmate, whether he or she would pose a danger to the community, such as sex offender (who would not be eligible) or other “serious offenses.”
(LOL! They appear to be the PRIORITY!)
Steve Stockman was convicted for white-collar crimes, primarily campaign-law violations and misuse of funds from nonprofits with which he was associated for campaign and personal expenses.
…
Steve Stockman’s supporters — including former attorney Sidney Powell, who is currently representing former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — believe his prosecution and imprisonment was unjust.

The age of the inmates is certainly a major factor in why inmates didn’t die in mass, like in nursing homes. The vast majority, somewhere around 93%, are under 60. If they assumed or guaranteed that the prisons were infected, releasing prisoners would be an effective way to spread the virus. Since the virus popped up during the annual influenza season, contracting both at the same time would be particularly deadly to old and medically frail individuals. With the influenza bugs dying out naturally with the end of the flu season, the mortality rate of COVID-19 may diminish because one of the underlying medical conditions that would tend to make it so deadly, influenza, would be gone.
Either the books are cooked to make COVID-19 look worse than it is, which means a massive hoax involving the entire medical community, or COVID-19 is particularly deadly in combination with the seasonal influenza and the books are effectively cooked by that link.

Actually, this so-called PANDEMIC is just a REHEARSAL for what the CABAL and GLOBAL ELITES are going to do in the very near future as they try their best to reduce world population so the population will DEPEND ON THEM. What has happened so far in liberal American States is just PRACTICE to see how these evil people can control the masses; to see if those masses will comply.

Solution:
1. The safest place for the inmates is INSIDE PRISON
2. The safest place for “outmates” is OUTSIDE PRISON
3. The best place for Democrats is INSIDE EPSTEIN’S & WEINSTEIN’S PRISONS

Keep their asses locked up. Being incarcerated is as socially distant as you can get.

Its sad news that Steve Stockman is not being released. His exclusion is certain vindictiveness on the part of the DOJ. If Sydney Powell says he was unjustly convicted then I accept that opinion. Most are elderly, most are convicted of white-collar crimes, and most should be home. Most importantly, I assure you they were all convicted by a corrupt judicial system that is manipulated by the same criminals at the DOJ and FBI who have attacked Trump and Flynn. They have plenty of victims befoe they developed the hubris to mount a coup against the duly elected POTUS.

YES, THE DEMOCRATS DID HAVE TO RELEASE THESE INMATES. They have ulterior motives for doing so.
Actually, this so-called PANDEMIC is just a REHEARSAL for what the CABAL and GLOBAL ELITES, including POWERFUL DEMOCRATS, are going to do in the very near future as they try their best to reduce world population so the remaining population will DEPEND ON THEM. What has happened so far in liberal American States is just PRACTICE to see how these evil people can control the masses; to see if those masses will comply to all their SUBTLE demands, like gun control, releasing inmates to continue their mayhem, to prevent services for the elderly because they are going to die anyway so let’s just allow the young to have these services; to ration supplies, etc..

It would have been to much of a boon to mankind had the criminals been thinned out by the virus. Instead it thinned out the patriots and the elderly to include worthless democrat-condemned war veterans.

Since the “experts” keep telling us that we need to reach 70% for effective “herd immunity” then the Federal Prisons are good, which means that the C19 virus as an excuse to release felons from their sentences early just went away.
