Are the new from within the general public or Pitches?
Out of the hundred new cases;how many were from the Pitches Detention Center?
0 were if you look at yesterday numbers and today’s numbers. Pitches is the exact same number yesterday they hs 1299 and 154. So all 100 are in those other areas
Shocker. Great job people !
Just had to protest the lock down without masks. Maybe now you realize that protesting the lock down without masks, is going to lock you down even more.
And I don’t even want to know the numbers in the next couple of weeks after the BLM protests.
Thank God the number of cases in Stevenson Ranch are going down
LOL!! That is a very unselfish post!!
The correctional facility and Detention Center really should be separated at this point. Even if they are included in overall numbers, have a separate category for inmates. The majority of the 100(95) comes from Castaic, which I’m assuming are all inmates. Even if staff will get it, those totals will be in community numbers. We’ve had 100+ numbers for the past week, very few outside of the prison.. I just think we need to understand the risk in our community at this time, so we can make informed choices.
Protesting because a man was murder, yet people protest without distancing and mask, isnt that attempted murder?
How stupid are you to have to utter such nonsense?
Just as stupid as you, I guess.
Acton not Action I believe.
This is now so over-blown. We need to be careful and protect the most vulnerable but the rest need to go on living their lives. I would like to know how mild these cases are that are in Santa Clarita? I’ve heard that they are getting more mild as the virus mutates. This was from Dr. Marc Siegel.
Mild for one person can be disastrous or deadly to another! I guess that’s okay if you don’t give a crap about your parents and/or grandparents who you might come in contact with! That’s such a self-centered attitude and is so selfish! Well, as long as it’s just YOUR family, I guess it doesn’t matter! ?
Again, KHTS won’t let me post.
Perhaps because the double standard is so apparent at this point. Go no further than than the obese Saugus School Board member who spews toxic matter at anyone who protested Covid because it spread the “virus.”
Now that tub is all over the news at these “protests” but doesn’t seem to have an issue there. And he was elected….shame on all of you who voted for him.
Grammar police. Why do you use digits for some numbers and spell the number for others?
