Inmate Describes What It's Like Inside COVID-19 Infested Jail

By Matt Trammell, Oct 1, 2020
 

MIDLAND, TX – An inmate inside of the Midland County Jail says that conditions in the jail have become awful due to a coronavirus outbreak.

According to CBS7, on October 1, 152 inmates in the Midland County Jail have tested positive for COVID-19. San Angelo LIVE previously reported that the jail had 80 inmates and 8 jailers test positive on September 29. Here is the original story: Dangerous COVID-19 Outbreak at Midland County Detention Center

Now that the original number has almost doubled, an unidentified inmate claims conditions inside the jail have become very harsh. 

The inmate claims that the sick inmates, including himself, have been placed in "sick dorms" to quarantine. In his dorm, the inmate told CBS7 that there are 60 to 75 people and that there are four different dorms. 

Besides the high congested area, the inmate says that sick inmates are not getting the proper care they need. He claims that the staff is refusing to hand out over-the-counter pain killers or fever reducers like Tylenol or aspirin. He claims that 6 inmates from his dorm have been taken to the hospital but Midland Memorial Hospital has not reported any inmates being checked in.

It looks like you are crying because you broke the law and got caught. Jails have always been crowed and a place for illness to spread.

Is this phenomena a result of the intellectual arrested development inherent of Leftists, or the fallout of four years of sour grapes from disgruntled Hillary fanboys?

Every positive case brings us all that much closer to becoming a statistic. Grow the fuck up, Pat.

In case you are unaware intelligent people can post comments without using vulgar words that do nothing to get the message across. I believe you are suffering from Trump Chinese Flu syndrome. The so called leftist you mention see the Orange buffoon as a liar, tax cheat, racist, corrupt narcissistic tax cheat. It has nothing to do with Hillary but knock yourself out whining. Fact is that is a crook and many like you are either too stupid to pickup on it or don't care.

I suppose making fun of someone's skin color and getting their rocks off on someone contracting an illness (which you could very well get tomorrow) is your version of "intelligent"? Of course it is.

Leftists also see illusory "systemic racism" in pancake syrup bottles and contend that men can menstruate. The cognitive dissonance and privileged absurdities within your beloved cult holds absolutely no validity in the real world.

By the way, you mentioned ''tax cheat" twice. Haste makes waste, Willy.

Lares, you certainly failed to display any intelligence in that diatribe, I do not believe that Orange is a skin color but is part of a clown outfit. Perhaps you can elaborate on which race has orange skin, I am totally at a loss to imagine a orange race. Do not attempt to assign your quite evident racial hate to me.

Yep I mentioned tax cheat twice so that maybe it would sink in, you noticed it so there may be some hope for you yet

I have heard a few off-color jokes (pun intended) about Obama, in particular during the beginning of his presidency, regarding his ostensibly purple lips. Some of these jokes seemingly had racial undertones, other people just had nothing substantial in place to express their angst, and so resorted to ad hominem, childish attacks. So the man has purple lips, but how's he doing on the job?

I never once referenced ''race'' in my comment, rather skin color. As a creature of habit, as with most Leftists, you've intentionally misconstrued my comments to construct a narrative in which the almighty race card can serve as a diversion, in the likelihood I took the bait and felt any need to redeem myself. Not happening, sir.

Well you said "systemic racism" FYI that is race. BTW your racism is showing I don't know about the purple lips you claim but I do know for a fact that Trump sports a ostensibly orange face, with white eyes and face outline. Guess what that is not racism it is pure fact. It is ironic that you mention ad hominem, childish attacks when you righty cons continually resort to just that.

You don't want to discuss Trump's white supremacy, rudeness, lying, disregard for the constitution and the rule of law, there is no concern for the debt that is ballooning exponentially. The only thing that I can be certain of with you is that you are not qualified to address complex issues you will defend Trump no matter what and that makes you no better than he is.

"Systemic racism" is about as "complex" as you TDS sufferers get, when it comes to most any discussions regarding politics. That's what I alluded to in one of my previous posts, and the fact that two replies later, you're still harping on non-existent "racial'' assertions which I never made, lends credence to the fact that the race card is your go-to schtick, either before or after the very mature and complex retorts about Trump's orange skin and physical appearance.

You are truly hilarious and appear as such a simpleton with your TDS accusations. Anyone that disagrees with the corruption of the Trump crime family has TDS in your silly imagination.

I'll break the news to you about "Trump's orange skin". Trump for whatever reason colors his skin orange. I contend that it is part of his clown outfit. Believe me child, Trump is not really orange, he is in fact Lilly white, you could say more appropriately that he is as white as a kkk sheet. Trump refused to denounce the white supremacist Proud Boys, then later he saw his poll numbers fall he resorted to lying by claiming he don't know who the proud boys are.

Trumps physical appearance of which he is responsible for it that of a half dressed clown. Joe Biden accurately labeled him correct when he called him a clown in the debate. Trump like the unruly man child he is could not refrain from making 73 moronic outburst spewing he covid-19 germs all over the debate stage. Trump comes off as an unhinged maniac and completely derailed the debate and turned it into something that resembled a Jerry Springer episode.

I have wasted far too many words explaining TDS to you. Still you have not addressed Trump's abundance of lies, tax cheating, racism, total disregard for the constitution and the rule of law. I suppose that it is you that has a syndrome being is such deep denial of Trump's and the GOP corruption.

Me smart. Me more smart than you. Me say Tronk have orange skin. Me laugh at Tronk. Me hit Tronk one day and take Tronk brain and live in shiny tower.

Me say word say on magic "teevee." Me say tax and cheat. Me say GOP corrupt. Me say racist. Me say "kkk." Me say supremacist and clown and covid-19. Me say all magic spell for power. Me say moron. Get good power. Ha ha ha! Me have strong now. Bill have Tronk brain.

Lares get Bill spell now. No have Tronk brain now. Bill have Tronk brain. Heh heh. Stuped orange Tronk.

Did I hit a nerve Rita? You are confirming that the truth hurts and that you can't bear to have it brought up. You are quite a poor excuse for a jester, you are not amusing just silly. Why did you not address my allegations of the orange buffoon? I know it is hard to refute the truth especially for a being of your caliber. I am quite delighted that I got under your skin and I wasn't addressing you.

It does appear that I pushed you over the edge you posting that incoherent diatribe. Try to simmer down, get your dolly and go play mommy.

You know Rita it is better to remain inexpressive and appear a putz than it is to express yourself and remove all doubt.

You are truly funny. Thanks for the laugh.

I refuse to tote around much pity for someone who has contributed not only to his own harm but to the harm of others. Through his ignorance, hubris, and lack of concern for others Trump has served to significantly increase the number of cases and deaths resulting from Covid-19 in this country. Now he has truly become a disease vector for the virus… which befits his past behavior.

Regarding whether or not he gets well, grows seriously ill or his wretched soul leaves this earth, I will reply as he did when queried about the growing number of deaths from the disease: “It is what it is.”

Now go back outside and play

Of course, Sanglo. He's a practically a Zen master, the President. You ought to appreciate a wise man when you see one. He's a regular Marcus Aurelius. Not like that hitman Cuomo who killed all those elderly people just to bring up the numbers of his COVID infections to quota.
