BOP to Tekashi 69: Asthma Shmasma

Inmate Daniel Hernandez, also known as Tekashi 69, has asthma, making him particularly vulnerable to Covid-19. When the medical director of his facility recommended that he be transferred to a hospital prison authorities reacted dogmatically, as they often do. They overruled the doctor. Sentencing Judge Paul Egelmayer stated that he would have ordered home confinement if he had known about Covid-19, but he knew that ultimately, the BOP does as it pleases. So, Tekashi 69 remains incarcerated, with asthma, in an environment that is a breeding ground for infectious disease.

Harvey Weinstein Tests Positive for Covid-19

harvey weinstein According to the Niagra Gazette, Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for COVID-19, likely acquired during his incarceration at Rikers Island. With 2,500,000 adults behind bars in America, many more are sure to follow. Those at greatest risk for mortality secondary to COVID-19 include the elderly, as well as those with co-morbidities including hypertension, respiratory diseases, and diabetes.  ZOONOTIC DISEASES jump from animals to humans. It is widely believed that this may have been the form of initial transmission of the novel coronavirus, from one of the many wet markets in Wuhan.  Even though bats are powerful carriers of disease, there are some in China who enjoy the delicacy.

SNEEZING IN PRISON

SNEEZING WRONG IN PRISON CAN GET YOU PUNCHED IN THE FACE . Prison habits and customs are steeped in retrograde beliefs. While belching, farting, and yelling are par for the course, when it comes to sneezing, other inmates are vigilant in expecting others to follow a particular protocol. With the advent of Covid-19, this particular outre behavior may actually make some sense! Rather than cupping their mouth with their hand, inmates tend to sneeze into their shirts. This is considered both considerate, as well as sanitary in prison.  One out of every fifteen people born in the year 2000 will be incarcerated at some time in their life. Hopefully, you're not one of them. For more great tips of surviving prison, see the  prison survival guide for wimps.
