Stay Home?
CPS sent out a letter to parents that anyone who was at Vaughn Vocational High School on the northwest side was to self-quarantine for the next two weeks in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Teachers and staff also have to stay home for these two weeks and the entire building is shut down.
We're also told that acting-Supernintendo Beck told the Department that if they are feeling sick, they should stay home and not risk infecting co-workers.
So is it safe to assume that if someone on the watch tests positive for the COVID-19 infection, CPD will be shutting down police stations and sending everyone home for two weeks? Because this is a policy we could get behind. We mean, 100% behind. And if we don't get sick, we're going to be cleaning up on the OT that will have to be offered to cover regular shifts.
We're thinking no one downtown has thought this through at all.

Come to think about it, I feel a runny nose, cough, soar throat, and fever coming along. See you guys in two weeks!
I will be working from home, I’ll take a take home car and radio now please. Call me if you need me.
yeah because you work for a bankrupt city that still pays your lazy asses no matter what. Slow...clap
They're all making phone calls to find out what they should do.
No different from any other day.
"Earned, not given"....my ass.
Beck wants to take his ball and go home.
To which we say: GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is characterized by mild symptoms including a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. Illness can be more severe for some people and can lead to pneumonia or breathing difficulties.
He just opened pandora's box. Better go out and buy some extra chairs for the medical section, it's about to get crowded.
Jack Shit, our new Chief.
At least he'll do something.
Real easy to imagine someone coming to work with minor or no symptoms and infecting a car, keys, taser, camera, radio, processing and locker rooms. The virus can just take off on its own from there. It sucks to have to hit the medical as a northsider because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to drive to 35th for a two minute medical clearance.
Is it IOD?
Are they testing people who’ve been clearing medical with flu like symptoms? This has been a medical concern for months and the brain trust is just now putting a plan together?
Shut down the swipe machine. Swiping, putting hand in machine, pushing buttons, central location to breath sneeze and cough, all personnel 24/7. Ground zero for every station to spread the plague.
Look out the new dealers are on the way: https://youtu.be/ghk1UTF0QeU
Hysterical
Be safe and stay fetal. Thank you boys and girls in blue.

Clearly no one thought, well, clearly, about this issue: going down to 35th for medical clearance will infect how many more people? Spread the Blue flu ! Criminals already run the city. May as well enjoy some rest and than home you pay so much to keep. At least your castle 🏰 will be safe for awhile And your family happy your with them for a change instead of filling out paperwork, clearing up someone else’s mess and missing out on truly important times.
If it is determined that there is a confirmed Covid 19 CPD memeber the member should be treated accordingly and all memebers of that unit should self quarantine at home for 14 days. The offices of this unit would need to be scrubbed completely. This virus is has the capability of living on surfaces for 14 days and still be able to affect people.
The feds have put $8 Billion dollars towards fighting this virus. CPD should request funds to pay for cleaning of infected areas and pay OT to members who are covering for infected members. It’s a “public safety” issue.
Also sick officers should not be required to go to the medical section. Will abuses happen? Of course. But CPD needs to act before the virus takes CPD out.
Maybe better make deputies of all CCW. What have other cities that have the virus spread to LEO Done?
They don't act, they overreact.
I know that everyone is saying that COVID-19 is just like the flu, but it’s not. This novel coronavirus impacts the lower parts of the lungs, the GI tract and the kidneys. Most people can tolerate the effects, but the elderly and otherwise infirm cannot.
Medical Section even gonna have officers w symptoms coming in to go on medical? Officers hit’n medical at an all time high & Medical Service Section personnel at an all time low. Ahhh..... A City that works
I think we all realize that there is no plan. There won’t be a plan until have of the city’s first responders are out of service, quarantined or hospitalized. There is not one single person in any leadership role in this city who can actually take charge and implement a plan. Pathetic losers.
The medical section can't allow you to check in at 35th street for this illness. It's all phone it in stuff. What about ballots? If someone is infected should their ballot be allowed to be opened and spread the germ?
Can't wait for a new FOP president that has the vision to have voting done differently.
I haven't touched my face in weeks.
It's all a democratic hoax. The numbers of infected are going down, soon it will be zero. I heard lke a miracle the corona flu will disappear in April when it gets warmer. Some people are saying it's good to go to work when you're infected but don't feel sick.
My hunch is you'll feel much better in November.
2024.

Can barely contain his excitement.
If you are sick then stay home. There is always some fool who comes in to work sick thinking "wow I am a trooper. Look how strong I am". No. You are stupid. Our sick leave policy is awesome. No one else has the kind of sick leave policy we have.
So if I’m feeling the symptoms of Corona-virus and test positive for the virus, are they still going to have me report to the medical section and spread that around 35th st or are we to self quarantine? I remember a few years ago I got pink eye, called down there, and they still had me come in, even though I was highly infectious at the time. I almost kind of hope one of them caught some of that love.
Put wait, is L.A. Chollie Magnum looking for an extended way out of town too?
In all seriousness I think this Coronavirus is nothing more than a way to cause panic for political purposes, mainly on the national level. Make DJTrump look responsible as ignoramuses keep fueling the narrative to cause a pandemic. They’re blatantly expressing the blame.
Precautions for regular influenza and regular germs should be exercised everyday, everywhere and the sick should stay home.
Chollie Says™️ - So it must be true!
Don’t go to work and Lari LightLoafer will violate the Contract and demand y’all got to have Make Up Days (cancel RDO’s,P,V,BFDs,Hol,Furlos).
Get out of work Free.
Keep in mind we’ve heard of this before...it’s a blue sickness, blue sniffles, blue cold, blue virus, blue something-or-other....
How can you report to medical section with the virus ???
People who have summer homes in the country should immediately go there for two weeks. Get away from the crowds in the city so they don’t infect anyone else.
are the disease carrying homeless allowed to sleep in the 5th district lobby , bed bugs , lice .flu , coronavirus who knows what diseases they carry
He just opened pandora's box. Better go out and buy some extra chairs for the medical section, it's about to get crowded.
Can we finally clear medical through a CPD app. Everyone's waiting for the app. If not, then just go away with the medical and give us sick days. It would discourage medical abuse but at the same time cannot conduct medical check anymore. Sort of like free additional vacation days and medical abuse deterrent.
Oh, I think that HQ is thinking this through and the prospect is scaring the hell out of them. The task of shutting down a station house, disinfecting the entire bldg and a quarantine of everyone who had contact could cause a nightmare. I think if things get that bad, the entire neighborhood would be under quarantine. I know that the peoples/folks would surely obey the law and stay in their homes, don't you think?
You would have to be on your death bed to get any consideration from our present city government. Lori Lightweight hates the police and she proves that every single day.
Boy, the Poleece have the Weasel, right where they want her! If they start shutting down poleece stations the city will burn, and all those stores will shut down. This opportunity is better than the BluFlu, go for it, sit at home and enjoy every moment!

This virus hysteria is causing the markets to tank.
This might be the problem Illinois and Crook Co had to avoid. Both are so weak and depleted they can't withstand another economic downturn. So thank the liberal media fearmongers for making your pensions less likely to survive.

SCC,
The COVID-19 infected CPS employee at Vaughn HS in Portage Park took the cruise while taking sick days and didn’t tell anyone for a period of time for fear of discipline. Mucho contact with mucho people. CPS/Lightfoot know and are covering it up.
Beck need to go home after he fucked up organized crimes
WAIT, the Medical Section WANTS me to come down there when I may have COVID-19? And risk exposing everyone at the Medical Section to the virus? Why am I staying home for 2 weeks if I'm OK to bring the virus down there and expose everyone???
It's already among you and perhaps you don't even know it. We are so screwed.
Agree with sick coppers staying home, but to have them report to the Public Safety Headquarters is asinine. Lets infect CFD and CPD, is that what the Chicago and State Department of Public Health or CDC suggest infected officers leave their house
At least suspend swiping for Christ sake.
Media and left politicians are blowing this out of proportion to create fear among the public, and tank the markets to make Trump look bad.
The media better hope they don’t cause a collapse of society, because I would venture to bet they would not be dealt with kindly if things do go to shit.
The educator who brought the virus to Vaughn school had to have lied to the administration and used sick days to take a vacation in mid term. Now everybody is off. Are they being paid to sit home? Will educator “0” be disciplined in any way for abuse of sick days for cruising? What a city!!
14 day self-quarantine. South Florida. Doctors orders
I want to be quarrantined with Ted Cruz.
I feel a cpd coming on
You have the medical so use it, that's what its there for! Could you imagine if we did this here, the crime virus especially on the red line, bringing all the thugs into downtown would cease:
Officials not ruling out shutting down mass transit in wake of coronavirus

The bonus is they could not cry racism, nope it would be to help stem the virus flow! Mayor anything to say? how about the 50 stooges? Crickets:: Make Chicago great again just do it, don't be scared lori. Oh mayor stay home stop using taxpayers money to campaign for sleepy joe,and what kind of special moron endorses the crime-wave leader crimesha?
Not a cop, but I have a question. Police work around the clock, in different shifts. So do ER doctors and nurses [and the hospital clerks. And Chalkie NEVER takes a vacation. So does the medical section ever close? How about HR?
Panic Peddling by democrats to make Trump look bad. This stuff is like the flu, not very dangerous unless you are Elderly or in poor health. RE-Fuckin-Lax.

What about burning everyone's ballot AFTER the mail-in but BEFORE the opening and counting? No worry about spreading infection then. Just flip a coin to decide which ineffective boob will run the shitshow.

Beck probably is the best thing that hit the CPD. He has common sense, got rid of the phony merit promotions system . He lasted a long time in LA which is not easy and he went through a federal court reform. You want Cato to run the department? Babs? don't be a fool
Must have missed the Department Directive outlining Department procedures concerning Coronavirus and CPD personnel who suspect they may have come in contact with an infected person. Especially those who work in MTU and the airports where Officers are most likely to encounter an infected person. Way to get out ahead of this infectious disease and protect your personnel.

Sounds about right, channel 2 news just reporting several more cases popped in Chicago. All women in their 50s with 1 or 2 in their 70s
Get rid of the medical...give us sickdays... are they going to give us 365 sickdays... I doubt it...I am battling a disease that could be fatal....I was off 7 months last year...our medical is the best thing in the world...yes we have some abusers but 95 percent of us use it responsibly
I can see it now...a Corina virus e-learning bullshit!
The DemonCraps are salivating. Disgusting! The delay in corona virus reaction is coming from WHO and CDC not President Trump!
Blessings to all Officers and President Trump
The Russians did it !
If Corona virus doesn't kill me, this fuck'n shithole job will !!!!

That’s why if you think you may have the virus don’t go to a hospital and risk bringing it there and exposing everyone in the hospital, especially the sick and elderly patients who are more at risk
Semi serious question: forget the illness policy, is CPD ready for Mad Max Time? Because the world is completely losing its mind over this Covid nonsense, and my analysis indicates that a 72 hour disruption in groceries and/or creature comforts is enough to catalyze a near total breakdown in law and order in any American urban or suburban area. Remember 2005 New Orleans? Pepperidge Plus remembers.
Not trying to be an alarmist here, just saying that there's precedent and when groupthink is involved the functional impact from a thing suddenly becomes decoupled from the largely emotion driven human reaction to the thing. But hey, I live in the exurbs of a heavily armed farming state so not my problem if Bernie Town eats itself...

Dont travel,don't get infected with the Corona virus. Stay home.

I got some sick ass seated at the desk refusing to go home and spreading Influenza or corona because they can’t afford to miss their side gig. I told the Sgt find me another spot and I want an exposure report!
Isnt it funny how no flight attendant or pilot has come down with it? You know GD well if that happened it would be on all the fake news MSM on a 24/7 loop.
This is all bullshit being driven by the Dems to hurt Trump.
This teachers aide shouldnt be caring for kids or anyone at all. The teacher aide from Vaughn walked into ER of the hospital. One of Amita Health hospitals. She at first denied any travel in United States, cruise ships and foreign travel. When you ask most people this right now, peopl are willing to tell you because threat of coronavirus. This aide exposed many healthcare workers in ER with no thought of anyone else's health workers, families of patients and other patients. I could only imagine what she did it a Vaughn. Also she was a very demanding and ungrateful patient. She was angry regarding the safety precautions put in place. Not saying you have to thank the staff but do acknowledge that these people are putting themselves and their families at risk.

The same viral family that brings the common cold. China dropped their quarantines after the air pollutions levels dropped 25%. Seems unfiltered coal fired power plants are not good for people's lungs. Amazing work there. Add the fact that Chinese people love to smoke, don't like to clean up, and have open air 'meat' markets with everything, including dog and bat, and it's a miracle there aren't more epidemics there. If the whole Hong Kong and Uiyghur bs wasn't happening, the government likely would have ignored the outbreak anyway. Killed 3000 old people with prior sickness in a country of 1.5 billion.
If it really was the latest version of the Black Death, we'd all be gone by now. And EMS isn't going to get to stay home. Life will go on
some ideas for the virus:
a) no more two person cars
b) no more going to roll calls, too many folks there
c) fire dept. vehicles, one driver, everyone else drives themselves to the fire
d) for those who have a spouse or significant other in the home, self quarantine! It wouldn't be the first time that one of the partners had to sleep on the couch
e) for those that have a significant squeeze, sorry, kid, no promotion for you, I have to stay away (for awhile)...

So if an officer goes home and into “self quarantine” then his or her whole family has to do the same? No school for the kids, no work for the wife, no out of home activities for two weeks? Only makes sense if you are self quarantined that the household has been exposed and would have to follow suit

Why are all these Democ-Rat old time politicians having bit public rallies? They are the most at risk for Covid. Pritzger ordered that senior care facilities go on lock down for two weeks, high schools are closing, people are working from home, but these goofs have rallies with thousands of enthusiasts?
Do I see a Corina virus e-learning coming?????
COVID-19. The new crime fighter in town. Needs an invite to one of Dart’s pizza parties.
actually I am not at all concerned about this corona crap, it is nothing more than the GD flu. plus we all have a number and when that number is up it is lights out anyway. however i gladly would take 2 weeks off with pay from my job anyday, but i would surely not stay home.
