Title (Dublin Core)
Over 70% of tested inmates in federal prisons have COVID-19
Description (Dublin Core)
The pandemic quickly saw the phrase "social distance" become common parlance however there are populations that cannot social distance and one of them is prisons. Without the ability to social distance or wear a mask, the only options for fighting the spread of this virus, the prison populations are particularly at risk to contract the virus. This news story explains that of those tested (which aren't many) 70% are covid positive. Additionally, it sheds light on the fact that when prisoners contract the virus their families are not being notified. #hst580 #asu
