The following is an email sent to me by a follower. For obvious reasons, I've had to redact the names. It was sent because the Federal BOP is once again, screwing the pooch on their #COVID19 response.
Hello this id REDACTED, I wanted to give you an update on something that I just found out on Friday, the 14th of August. It was brought to my attention that someone in C building has tested positive for Covid-19. I know that doesn't sound like anything of importance but let me share with you the relevance of this information. The only reason this person was tested was because he was scheduled to go home so they placed him in E unit for quarantine before he left. When he was tested they found out he was positive, and knowing that he had came from unit C which is and has been considered recovered for over 3 months now they, meaning the administration has NOT tested anyone else in unit C. Now the tests that the institution gave was done approximately on April 27th. Now based on every scienticfic data that has been collected Covid-19 or the remnents of it will only last up to 8 weeks. This individual tested positive on the testing that was done in April, so now after 100 days he tests positive again. It was also told to me that this gentlemen isn't the only person who tested positve for the second time. Meaning the accuracy of the test can't be the issue because from what I have heard it has been 3 positive tests in E unit. And from having my wife check the BOP website no new cases have been reported here at FCI Terminal Island. This directly contradicts the testimony that the director said to Congress in his debreifing hearing. He said that all new cases are posted on the website daily at 3PM. It also leads me to belive that the reason the prison is keeping the information secret is so that can continue to proceed with their plans to open the compound up. It also leads me to believe with good reason that if they share these new positive tests about inmates that have recovered now testing positive again would contridict their own arguements they have been using saying that inmates can't catch Covid-19 again. There is a potential new outbreak of Covid-19 on the compound. I say this because it was also brought to my attention that on Wednesday the 12th a correctional officer was on duty and had Covid 19. They had to close commissary do to what happened and the inmates working in the commissary with her was NOT tested to see if they had contracted it. Now we find that C building has inmates that have tested positive, these inmates all were considered recovered. In my unit B, an inmate by the name of REDACTED asked to be tested because he is displaying the exact same symptoms as he did when he caught Covid 19 in March. That time they prescribed him with an antibiotic for his sore throat and symptoms, and they just did the same thing. But what they didn't do was test him to see if he in fact has caught Covid-19 for a second time. I seriously believe that the virus has hit the institution for a second time and many of the inmates' antibodies have worn off, and they are catching the virus again. This could potentially lead to another bad outbreak and more loss of life. This prison is purposely not testing so they do not have to report new cases, and when they do test and get positive tests they are now keeping those positive tests hidden. They are trying to keep that the prison is having another outbreak secret. It obviously would contradict their claims in court about how they are keeping inmates seperate, and that they are providing inmates with a safe enviroment. As I told REDACTED over the phone, they have filled the units back up to roughly 90% capacity, they are mixing inmates from different housing units, and they are talking about transfering inmates. But if they know inmates can potentially be sick again, they would be knowingly transfering and mixing inmates who can be infected. The prison knows if their numbers of cases go up again it will look really bad and show that inmates can get infected twice, and that the prison is unable to stop the spread of this virus, so their only means to show that they are keeping us safe is to hide the data. I will do my best to provide you with the names of the inmates who have tested positive so that you can look into this matter, but as I said I found this out from people who would know this to be 100% true. Terminal Island has inmates who are contracting the virus twice, and it is spreading again and they are not being honest with disclosure. Thank you, this is REDACTED
