First Federal Inmate Tests Positive For Coronavirus In NYC | MSNBC
The fact that the virus made it into a prison means it’s spread is way more advanced than we think. Good thing everybody who wants a test can get a test, right t’rump supporters? 🤔🤣
Ya. Because guards or other employees of the federal penitentiaries dont go out into the general public right? They dont go to grocery stores, Gas stations, banks or anything like that right? So it would be IMPOSSIBLE for a guard to bring it in, and pass it on to an inmate who is locked in a dirty, unsanitary building with a bunch of unsanitary inmates, right? Not to mention the ones who share cells, enter gangs or sit at a table with 50 people at a time. A prison is a hotbed for disease if you actually think about it. You think convicts are sanitary? Think they are all squeaky clean and lysol wiping everything in sight?
Edit: and I forgot trump was the one who spread this infectious disease. It’s all his fault. You people are just reaching for straws arent you?
10,000 of you for 1 Charlie Whiskey no he didn’t he just renamed it he didn’t dismantle it it is still in effect
Its.
@Ro G Well said. The “Trump Virus” Continues To Decimate Our Jobs & Our Families. This Virus Happened Under Trumps Watch Thus “The Trump Virus”. Almost 450 American Deaths & Almost 35,000 Cases.
Ever heard of Chemtrails?
First discovered to be infected but with no such thing as space in prisons those places are hives for viruses.
@Viking Strongman not all prisoners are guilty. Some got framed, innocent. Some they don’t have the choice. We are all humans. We make mistakes. I pray to God you don’t cought up in the system because people like you are the first one to cry mommy inside the prison.
@Random Youtube Comment no need to entertain the side show act. You gotta ignore stupidity and ignorance
@Random Youtube Comment the odds of him ending up in prison over 1 dumb mistake is higher then him dying from the coronavirus lmao, hes just ignorant
Looks like the over population issue is solving itself lol
Agreed 😷
Probably from one of the officers. They deal with alot of public.
Do ya think 🤪

@William H updated pic, same troll
🙄Visitors were only recently banned & there’s a 2 week incubation period before many people start showing symptoms. Therefore, the virus most likely came via visitors, or the prison staff. Or the new prisoners who were incarcerated in the last 2 weeks. Or via a lawyer, or a prisoner caught it at the courthouse & brought it back. Loads of ways for a little bitty virus to sneak in 🙄
I was a prison nurse, I can tell you one thing for certain.
If one of them has it, all of them have it.
I was a inmate and health care is nonexistent in the fbop. They are going to tell inmates to take aspirin and cough syrup and drink some wster. That is their treatment.
@Shahin Perhaps for you, but not for me.
@Scott Spadea If you believe that the dregs of society should have health care before law abiding citizens, you are not only naive but you are a fool.
Good. Mother nature taking out the garbage.
TÜRKIYE ROYAL EMPIRE – that’s possible, but mostly it’s brought in by prison staff.
Wasn’t it just confirmed that Harvey Weinstein tested positive too?
Why are prisoners being tested, but not the general public?
He needs to die too.
@Consolidated Freedom its because they probably all have it. hes just one of the few who got tested im sure
Coronavirus=trending
Coronavirus+celebrity name=More views or attention
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving animal…!
How did an inmate get a test when we cant get tests in general public
Same way they get free food,power,clothes,toiletries and more. A friend if mine once said that people in prison are treated like badly behaved children. They have chores and the basics . They even get 30 mins to 1 hour free time like a kindergarten kid
Because they get paid for the prison pop not the general pop…
@Wakk Artizt PraduckshinZ of course they do, that why they take someone who has a 1 year sentence and place them in state pen to process them and then shoot them over to county lol
Johnny Wadd man they get #Dental #Vision and #Degrees etc etc etc verses Us in the world good dental and vision and Degrees 🧐
@H&B V. they get all that with our tax money
First ya worry about a prison breakout. Now, ya worry about a prison outbreak. Make up your mind!
northerniltree both, you thought you had cooked up some real quick with This shi 💀 Hn obviously they gone worry bout the 2 and not just one
@Diego Marquez what?
@C M fr lmao, what?
@Diego Marquez yeah, you tell em.
The recipe for. Control is fear…
Are you saying covid 19 is a conspiracy by the government? You gotta be joking
Facts
Jetdrive I hear fear is the recipe for control 🤔
Amen to that brother. They never let a good crisis go to waste.
@Discount Ronaldo If you think they wont take advantage of it to strip you of your freedoms, well, they already are. They are already destroying the lives of millions to “save” the lives of thousands, and people seem just fine with that.
Not only are they already doing it, but people are eating the propaganda with a spoon.
They are now reporting that Harvey Weinstein has it!
@Yingin Yang – I’m Ok with him calling it the chinese virus. But I’m also ok with him taking responsibility for the slow response
@Conscious Citizen – maybe so, it is curious how he keeps coming up with all these ailments and injuries in prison. Keeping him away from the general population
Marley Jansen if you still haven’t realize, people with high economic and social status (even in prison) have access to the tests. Also there have to be way more than a few inmates infected. They just haven’t got to be tested yet. It is going to be a disaster.
Marley Jansen getting a sleep and nursing 24/7
Dinosaurs& Unicorns look up stats on the proven falsely accused
69 lookin real nervous right about now.
Judge: Mr.Hurnandaz your still looking at 69-80 more years
6ix9ine: I know who gave him the virus
Wow this comment aged well
Don’t worry, big Tyrone will protect him.
13% of the population lookin real nervous right now too
💀
A lot of imates will die…
not from Covid but from getting shanked for coughing
Good
Good to see someone who still has a sense of humor. 😂
@Greg Williams oh yea, well give my beats a listen will ya?
Epstein would be the first one😀
epstein would be the firt one
2:24 That is a good looking cell lmao
Untill you are in it
I mean its nice, but not ideal for an extended amount of time….depends on the cellmate.
@Chrystal do u and ur celly share 1 bed?
Ok but how did an inmate get this virus, if everyone who has it is quarantined?
@Smileyrie James yeah Philly is arresting people and essentially letting them go on “bail”. And people wait for notification of a court date. They’ll just have a pending warrant until then
Guards, prison staff…….
They probably got it from an infected person when they went to the grocery store
@jerry dickerson agreed 😷🗣️👩👏😬👍
How do the prisoners contract covid 19 if they’re isolated inside the prison?? They aren’t leaving out the facility to bring it back or to pick it up so…?? 🤔🤔
*Why are prisoners getting tested, but not the general public?*
@Jim McCracken it is. There are multiple prisons facing this. They’re just reporting on the first confirmed case. There are dozens of not more. Rikers has 15 staff and 20+ inmates infected
We treat prisoners to good in America..
it’s very critical in such a small concentrated area
They get paid for the prison pop and not the general pop.
Agreed
Judge: You are sentenced to contracting coronavirus.
Kotna Kerry
Omg😂😂😂
Righteous lol
Haha . 🙏🏻 for everyone !
one of the best comments LOL👏
ill take that over a month
Prisoners: *Alright homeboy….10 honey buns and a pack of Marlboro’s for some toilet paper*
Tf? They got those in jail?
It’s amazing to see that even in a time of disaster and tragedy the trolls take no days off lol. Keep joking till it’s knocking at ur door.
Justin Parker they treat prisoners good nowadays if they work with feds
Marlboros. No apostrophe, General.

A new inmate brought it in?
Right How do the prisoners contract covid 19 if they’re isolated inside the prison?? They aren’t leaving out the facility to bring it back or to pick it up so…?? 🤔🤔
There are people in prison for not being able to pay a municipal fine. Being incarcerated doesn’t automatically mean that they’re subhuman or deserving of death.
Glen-Roy Anderson But the paedophiles, rapists, murderers, kidnappers, torturers, animal cruelty perpetrators etc sure do!
Oh well Death Penalty going to come Early!
