No info from Sheriff’s Dept on causes of death

Especially infuriating: Ayesha Johnson, who
“had been civilly committed to the jail while awaiting acceptance in to a treatment program.”

Something is very wrong there

Too many deaths in a short period of time. With Johnson in particular, I have to wonder if it was a suicide. This secrecy is unacceptable.

You should stop commenting about what is happening outside you facilities and concentrate on what is happening inside your facilities.

Are inmates being tested and vaccinated for Covid?

If not, this is a serious failing on the part of the state or county. How likely are these to be deaths from undiagnosed Covid?

Is that a rhetorical question, or

Four people, all in their 30s and 40s, and let's just assume that they're not morbidly obese. What do you, with all you know and have read about covid, honestly think the chances are that they all died from it on separate occassions? Over or under 0.01%?

I mean I bet at least one of them said "I can't breathe" before passing, but that's not a very accurate covid test.

What is Tompkins doing over there?

Four unexplained deaths? Why don’t we know anything?
