Infected PPE Kits?

Yesterday, we posted a picture of these "kits."

This is truly "inside baseball" type stuff to the outsider, but Chicago Police will recognize the lower portion of the bag these "kits" arrived in. That's a Currency Inventory Bag, cut down to size and heat sealed on three sides, bagged with the "equipment," a list of contents run off a copy machine, and heat sealed shut. These were packaged at HQ just last week by the recruits (now in every District). Someone says that there are pictures of them doing it on the CPD Twitter feed (we don't tweet) and Beck is in a few pictures "helping." We'll bet Google-me purges the feed within hours of this post going up.

These are by no means sterile....in any sense of the word.

We have lots of contacts at HQ. And one tells us this:

• While they sent most recruits to districts (to do nothing except clean infested squad cars), they re-assigned them to HQ 2nd floor to assemble PPE kits. They made thousands of them (see CPD Twitter feed). The best part? A recruit went to the hospital with COVID-19 symptoms and is possibly infected. Test results pending. The same recruit that touched potentially hundreds of these kits that got sent out for officers to use. Next time you’re in a district, put a mask on and get infected, you’ll know where it came from. Huge thanks to the exempt staff for cooking this dumpster fire of a plan up

So we get eight-year-old hand sanitizer, PPE's that aren't PPE's even in a third world shithole, packaged by someone who was coughing and feverish while assembling these things, while Groot is letting it be known she is never five feet from a bottle of hand sanitizer.

We remember a time when Royko, or even Kass, would be all over this shit.

Anyone know if the CDC has a local contact here in Chicago? Because our own Patient Zero is almost certainly walking around at this very moment infecting countless members of the Department.
