Subject: COVID-19 Spreading in Florida Gulag
Journalists in Florida have been trying to confirm a reported outbreak of COVID-19 at the new immigration detention center there but are getting the runaround.
On August 7, attorneys Eric Lee and Chris Godshall-Bennet issued a statement on behalf of their client, 38-year-old Venezuelan Luis Manuel Rivas Velásquez, who they say recently suffered a "serious health emergency" while being held at the hastily constructed detention center. According to the statement, Rivas Velasquez, who was previously in good health, collapsed while sitting inside a tent at the facility and "found himself unable to breathe."
He was transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection, the lawyers say. The statement notes that relatives of other detainees have reported that illness is currently "rampant" at the facility.
Well, umm, If they just stop testing right now, they'd have very few cases, if any.
