Well, I guess it wasn't Captain Trips after all, otherwise, by now, we'd all be sick in this area; except for the few that would be immune to it. A virus comes and goes; I'm sure everyone will be fine soon.

it is easy to say who cares about the inmates........so long as it isnt YOUR family memeber that is there......my son is there ......I hope he isnt sick. I too hope your Husband doesnt catch it.......whatever IT is...I hope as many that are going to get sick already have. Now, I hope they start getting better.
