Before the last election Northam restored the voter rights of convicted felons. I assume he will do that again with the inmates he is releasing now.


Virginia Dept. of Corrections to release ‘some’ offenders early during COVID-19 pandemic

https://www.wjhl.com/local-cor...g-covid-19-pandemic/

Lawmakers in Virginia are giving the state’s Department of Corrections the authority to release some inmates early during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The General Assembly Wednesday approved a budget amendment allowing these releases.

According to a Friday press release, the director of the Department of Corrections is authorized to consider early release only for individuals with less than one year left to serve while the COVID-19 emergency declaration is in effect.

Officials say offenders convicted of a Class 1 felony or a sexually violent offense are not eligible for consideration. The exact number of individuals eligible for early release consideration will change depending on the length of the emergency declaration order.

The department confirmed that a COVID-19 diagnosis is not a release factor.

“The Governor and legislature have enabled us to discharge low-level offenders in a responsible manner,” said Brian Moran, Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security in the press release. “These returning citizens will need our support. We thank family members and community organizations for doing all they can to offer services to this population as they are released during the pandemic. This unprecedented crisis calls for a smart, responsible approach which takes into account public safety while ensuring the returning citizens’ reentry success.”

The department, according to the release, is considering multiple factors as they review offenders who are eligible for early release, including the offense type and history, medical conditions, a documented and approved home plan, good time earning level, and recidivism risk. Offenders must have no active detainers.

As this process is put to action, DOC will also consider broader public safety implications, including the safety and well-being of the offender and the offender’s family, availability of community resources, and access to proper health care for any medical or mental health treatment needs, the release detailed.

“Just as our medical professionals have been working around the clock throughout this pandemic, our offender management staff are moving very quickly to identify offenders eligible for early release,” said Department of Corrections Director Harold Clarke in the release. “We are focused on safety – public safety, staff safety, and offender safety. We’re looking at offender home plans and access to medical care, among many other factors. We must avoid releasing someone from a facility where they have access to 24-hour care into a situation in which they are more susceptible to COVID-19.”

In light of the pandemic, the DOC announced Friday it is now releasing offenders with three months’ worth of medication rather than the usual one month. This is aimed to ensure that returning citizens have adequate time to establish care in the community and comply with socially distancing requirements.

According to the release, state probation and parole offices are working to ensure they are ready to receive the additional offenders as they are released. All probation and parole districts have adjusted their intake process, so that all or a portion of the intake process is set up and completed electronically.

If electronic intake is not possible, officers are limited to completing one intake at a time in a manner that meets current sanitation and social distancing guidelines, utilizing Personal Protective Equipment, the release stated.

Questions can be directed to the DOC via email, or the COVID-19 information line at 804-887-8484.

If they try to drag any of this out for two years, there should be mass civil disobedience and even open revolt.

Compared to the same 18 hour period last year, there was a spike in New Yorkers ingesting bleach or other household cleaners.

Last year during this timeframe 13 New Yorkers ingested household cleaner, where as this year 30 New Yorkers ingested household cleaners.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think this says more about New Yorkers than it says about President Trump.

Sad isn't it?
Some people would rather collect "freebies" than work?
Even sadder, we have a government that produces lots of incentives NOT to work, many enshrined in the tax code.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Sadder because they can't work with the lock down- They were just going to be kept on the payroll. So they were going to be paid less for not working than they were via unemployment for not working.

You can't make this up. I'm pretty sure Washington State has waived the "Looking for work" part of unemployment since there's no jobs......

Why don't states show efficacy of policies like stay at home?

I am suspicious of all the numbers and stats the state throws at us. In my mind, it's about politics and a message; nothing to do with real disease facts.

That being said, we've had stay at home policies in effect for a month now. For a disease I believe has about a 3-10 day incubation (just what I've I think I've heard). Seems like infections rates and cases should be approaching an asymptote yet cases keep climbing. What gives?

I hate this "leadership" by feelings. It's so full of crap. Show me the fucking data. In business, we present recommendations of action based on data. Yea, data can be wrong or incomplete and bad decisions get made. But we'd never ask an exec to make a decision based on a feeling. He throw us out of the room. Politicians should be subject to data based decisions; if not before, than at least after.

In respectful response to Konsta



Cases keep climbing because we are starting to test more


Plenty of people had this disease and were denied a test for one reason or another. I can go into that more of you like


But reality is this:


There are a lot of people that were sick with this, didn’t need hospitalization, and so were not tested.....either because they didn’t meet one of the required comorbidities, or because tests were in short supply and so were saved for only the very sick


Because of this the actual number of people that have been infected with the disease since the beginning of this has been artificially depressed because we didn’t test everyone that might have had it

Now there are more tests. And most of the required comorbidities have been removed. So more of the people that aren’t desperately sick are being tested. So people that wouldn’t have previously been identified as being sick with this are now being discovered.

We also now know that you can be and remain asymptomatic and still spread the disease. So the disease doesn’t die out because it is passed along by people who don’t even know they are sick, potentially to other people who won’t know they’re sick, and so on and so forth until someone does get it and does get sick and get tested and identified. Then when they try and find out where they got it it’s nearly impossible to do because the person they got it from never got sick. So you would have to trace literally every potential contact the person had over the previous 10-14 days. With previous diseases like SARS and MERS it wasn’t really hard to trace the path of the disease because everybody that got it got sick...really sick in most cases with sars and mers so where someone got it from was pretty much obvious.



Then, because of that, and for many other reasons, you’re going to throw in serology testing to test antibodies. This will allow us to track potential immunity, and it will identify both the people that got sick but weren’t tested for a variety of reasons, and it will identify those people that got it and were asymptomatic, and even who currently have it and are asymptomatic.

That will also make the total case count increase.

That’s why, with all of this going online, a flat requirement that cases decrease for 14 days may not happen for a long long time. Not until we get the things I’ve just described to a point where they are up and effectively running at full capacity.

The people using these numbers to maintain tyrannical policies know all this and are using it to their advantage. If someone calls them on it they can say that the requirement is straight out of the policies outlined by the President (correctly, I might add) and that they are just following it. Which boxes folks like us into a position where we have to criticize a policy laid down by the president right before we want to get him re-elected


It’s a shit sandwich all the way around

This is complete bullshit. No one was drinking bleach over Trump's comments. If anything, douchebags were just calling the poison control center to say that they did. The NY Daily shitrag News.

And this is nothing new. This is just Gov. Wolfman Hack catching on to what Cuomo and Herr Murphy have been doing all along, and now he's trying to catch up. Padding of the death numbers has been going on in the tri-state area this whole time.

Thanks Kevbo. I need to reread it a few more times. But the gist is that this is really complicated with a multitude of real and false factors.
