Find them? Weve all heard of how bad the conditions are. I doubt they have Kleenex, disinfectant etc to wipe things down.
When are they going to release those children? How are they protecting them from COVID-19. Look what happened in the Kirkland nursing home. Im sure they were much cleaner than the cages these children have been kept in.
Anything we can do to be proactive? Can we get the media to drive some much needed concern for THEIR health?
Thoughts?

(5,624 posts)I pray Im wrong, but Woohan warned us of facilities that will result in high loss of life. These children have been stressed for what a year? Their small bodies arent healthy enough to fend off the virus...poor diet, poor sleep, cold, etc....

(13,524 posts)no doubt. I also doubt anyone will ever know about it because - well, we have no way of finding out, eh
I posted a query the other day relating to this - are ICE and border patrol agents being tested for COVID19??? Answering my own question, I said NOT BLOODY LIKELY, and are they dressed in head-to-toe PPE? OH HELL NO.
So Kat, we all know its going to be a horror show, and maybe...I dont know...we kinda need a miracle here, dont we

(51,308 posts)I've also wondered about jails and prisons. Those places are known to be dirty and ill-kept.

Wonder if their guards are wearing surgical masks?

(15,611 posts)COVID seems to affect children the least, but they can carry it and expose their jailers, who may suffer more severely, and IMO that would be justified karma.
