COVID-19 is rapidly infectiong prisoners in our jails and prisons. So some people what to release prisoners. but given the sky high murder rates among criminals they maybe better off in prison.

Here is link to an article by Ben Cohen in Areo Magazine. The Case Against COVID-19 Skeptism". The editor's ran this by a researcher in the field who was impressed that Ben had come to the same conclusion they had using a different method. I am Ben's proud uncle.
