Pitchess & Correctional facility should not be added to a city. They should have their own listing. And this is where they were passing a cup around from someone who had COVID19. Besides they are criminals, some very hardened.
You are so right.
Broken record, yada yada yada. Newsflash, those incarcerated are humans too. This virus doesn’t discriminate who it infects, but you want to discriminate who gets counted as infected, oh the irony.
What did you expect? And probably many more in the future. We’ve been told the incubation period 14 days. Let’s go out and protest some more.
I know, right?! ?
Pitches should be separated from Castaic as they are 2 different entities. Criminals or humans whatever it’s given Castaic itself the wrong approach as to infected individuals. The numbers are going to go up what do you expect. Thus was a given with the protesting and no masks. We shall see in a few weeks.
Pitchess shouldn’t be counted since they purposefully spread it amongst themselves, in hopes of being released from jail. Their numbers shouldn’t reflect how SCV and areas nearby move forward in each phase of reopening based on a bunch of idiots looking to not serve time for their crime.
