This story was told by a person incarcerated at Donovan.
UCI: And how has the COVID-19 situation at your facility affected your loved ones?
Caller: Yeah, it’s pretty rough on them out there, too. They’re just as concerned as I am. So, it adds a lot of stress. They don’t work, and they’re not – they don’t have very many funds. I don’t ask them for money. But the biggest thing I think is the stress.
I can say one thing about here at Donovan. At least for this facility, I don’t know, they haven’t brought it here. Nobody seems to have it. Everybody that they test, it comes back negative, or at least that’s what we’re told, if they’re being transparent.
So, it seems like they’ve done a good job of keeping it out of this facility after they knew what it was. I think it just swept through here, but we can’t get the antibody testing done to know if that’s what it was. So, we don’t know if that’s what it was or not.
We can only go by the symptoms that everybody had and how long it took to recover for everybody. There are people here that appealed it and tried to get those antibody tests, and then they told them – they denied them.
