now j.j. jchlj. velasquez, the heard the clip from.d it's so thick in the air but also if folks on the outside can't get access to testing and proper health care and masks and protective gear, what makes you think anyone could care about those on the inside of prisons. all of us on the outside are social distancing, creating space between ourselves and other people, they don't have that option. they're living in close quarters. the inmate population is the most vulnerable population in america to disease. they're more prone to getting hepatitis and tuberculosis but also, let's not forget, we can kind of keep them in their cells on their blocks but every single day, staff, correction officers are coming in and out of the prison so one of the main carriers of covid-19 into the system are actually those who work inside the building, not just inmates. >> yeah, and that's -- i mean, weaver made this point before but you're seeing it now, this is a perfect example. there's 492 cases in cooke county jail in chicago, two deaths and if i'm not
