If I stay home, I lose my income...in the middle of a recession.
I'm not alone in this situation.

whose thousands of employees had productively been coding from home for weeks.
No testing, just temperature checks.
It makes my blood boil. There's just no reason they can't work from home.

TDCJ inmate dies in Tennessee Colony lockup; COVID-19 a factor
James Matthews, 68, who was incarcerated at a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facility in Tennessee Colony in Anderson County has died in his cell.
Matthews was found unresponsive inside of the Beto Unit on April 13 after being tested for COVID-19 on April 9. There was no indication from TDCJ if the test results had been received prior to Matthews' death.
A preliminary autopsy report suggested that COVID-19 contributed to Matthews' death.
At the time of his passing, Matthews had served 17 years of a 40-year sentence for aggravated sexual assault of a child out of Hopkins County.

It's horrible. They have 1,200 positives out of like 1,700 tests and another 1,200 in sick on isolation, I'm assuming because there are not enough tests.
They should let out non violent offenders or people eligible for parole.
