Well, I do feel a lot of the disappointing response to COVID on the outside world was due to a lack of clear messaging. So I think that affected us because we didn't have the same outlets either, so no one really knew what to expect.
I think the way the medical staff kept shifting protocol was scary to some. These were federal buildings, so they had to follow everything to the letter in a way the general public didn't. And the medical staff was frequently not forthcoming. So I think people were scared, but at the same time, it was just constant uncertainty, not necessarily about the virus, but about how it gave the staff the excuse to do whatever they liked to us, move us around, get us sick.
I can tell you the staff themselves were profoundly unbothered.
Were any of the inmates afraid when Covid hit? Or it didn’t seem like a big deal.

Never heard of it :)
They're about to get even more obscure.
