ElizabethB Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I'm tracking prisons where they have done mass testing by latitude and time outside, I'll make a graph sorted by latitude and write up a LinkedIn Article if I get enough data. My spreadsheet also has a block for the news article where it is mentioned, but that takes up a lot of room, too much to post, it then wraps poorly. I found these two by google searches, but people might have more data from local articles about their local areas. I can only use the data if they test everyone or almost everyone. Please add data and links if you know of any prisons that have done mass testing and reported results in your area of the United States.

ElizabethB Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Anyone with actual numbers or percentages for the Cummins unit in Arkansas? They have 600 positives and said "majority no symptoms," I need a number or a percentage. https://www.newsweek.com/one-arkansas-prison-makes-almost-third-states-coronavirus-cases-1499045 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 No data to share, but it's definitely an interesting topic. And the prisons in our state are going back and testing EVERYONE because the results are so shocking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Let me see if I can find an article; our County Sheriff's office says they have NO positive cases in the jail here. I don't know if they are testing the prisoners or not (this was stated on their FB page). I'll see if I can find info and share. They are super proud of the fact they've got no positives.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Okay, here's the article I could find; it does not say how much they are testing, and is from 4/16, but maybe it helps &/or gives you a point in the right direction for more info. https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/katy/news/article/Fort-Bend-County-jail-maintains-coronavirus-free-15203336.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California’s state prison system would not release counts of asymptomatic prisoners. Why is this a state secret??? I want numbers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) New numbers!! Coldwater Correctional Facility, 80 percent asymptomatic, 800 prisoners positive. Michigan https://www.fox17online.com/news/coronavirus/785-inmates-test-positive-for-coronavirus-at-prison "Between Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, 3,277 inmates tested positive for the virus. Of that number, 96 percent of the inmates were asymptomatic, meaning they showed no symptoms associated with the disease." https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/494670-ninety-six-percent-of-inmates-in-four-state-prisons-who-tested-positive Edited April 28, 2020 by ElizabethB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) So, the latest data, the only state with more than 96% asymptomatic is Michigan, the furthest north, with 80% Edited April 28, 2020 by ElizabethB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
