Over three dozen inmates at San Francisco County Jail are in isolation due to a COVID outbreak in the correctional facility, the Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

In a statement, the San Francisco Sheriff's Office said there are 42 confirmed inmates with COVID in its custody, with the highest numbers reported at County Jail No. 3 in San Bruno, which has the largest jail population.

Based on these COVID cases, I get the feeling Newsom will take this opportunity to release more inmates back into the Bay Area wild. You know, similar to before, when Newsom released thousands (or is it tens of thousands) of inmates due to COVID. As for masks, everyone knows they don’t work against COVID, but I’m sure there’s a stockpile of expired, or about to be expired masks that Newsom wants to use up, while he also renews contracts with Chinese mask manufacturers. And why doesn’t Newsom mandate these inmates, and the entire jail population, be jabbed umpteen times with a COVID vaccine? Oh right, the “vaccine” isn’t a vaccine. Silliness resumes. Watch out parents for the next step where your children shall suffer - schools may close again because teachers are scared of the COVID cooties. Regardless, don’t roll the dice and allow your kids to be jabbed with a COVID shot (or any more COVID shots) – they’ll be at higher risk for myocarditis.

Not So Common

Oh no, time to overreact again. I think I'll wear a mask while I'm driving by myself and of course when I'm outdoors on the Bay Trail walking my dogs. My dogs will have to wear masks as well.
