Police departments put out fake warnings about coronavirus contaminated drugs

(CNN)Some police departments are putting out fake warnings that illicit drugs could be contaminated with coronavirus in an effort to make drug arrests.

The Tavares Police Department in Florida and the Merrill Police Department in Wisconsin are among those that have taken to social media offering to test methamphetamine and other drugs.

"If you have recently purchased Meth, it may be contaminated," with coronavirus, Merrill Police Department said on Facebook. "If you're not comfortable going into an office setting, please request any officer and they'll test your Meth in the privacy of your home. Please spread the word! We are here for you!"

"Bring it by our station and we will test your batch within minutes!" Tavares Police Department said.

At least 2,976 people have died from coronavirus globally. There are now 71 confirmed and presumptive positive cases of the virus in the United States, including one fatality.

Some people criticized the department's posts online.

"I would rather not see police departments making 'jokes' like this online or posting false information about a pandemic that is already being treated cavalierly by the executive branch," Jessica Thill commented on Merrill Police Department's post.

"This would be funnier if addiction (often a maladaptive coping skill formed as a result of trauma experienced in the form of abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc. during vital development stages of the brain during a human being's life) wasn't a disease that devastates individuals, their families, and their communities," another commenter, Karriann Elise, said.

The post from Merrill police was updated to acknowledge the critical comments it received. But, the department added, similar ploys have worked before and are done with the intention of keeping people safe.

"Just to give you some history, we have actually experienced people report their illegal drugs being stolen, being ripped off in a drug deal, being sold a look-a-like illegal substance, etc.," the department said. "So this attempt, although a long shot, still had some possibility behind it."

"It is our hope that every drug arrest both works to hold offenders accountable for their deeds and provides them with a path toward treatment options."

Police departments using social media to push fake drug campaigns have caused a stir before. In July, a Tennessee police department warned against flushing drugs down toilets and sinks because it could create meth gators. The post was not meant to be taken seriously, the department said.

"Let us be perfectly clear: the meth gator was a humorous illustration used to highlight the dangers of flushing drugs and other substances down your toilet," the Loretto Police Department wrote on Facebook.

You would thing that a meth head would have more health concerns than getting a serious cold.

From powdorks CDC link

“Early July
Reported cases of 2009 H1N1 nearly doubled since mid-June 2009.”

“August 20
Second wave of 2009 H1N1 influenza activity began in the U.S.”

“Late October
Second wave of H1N1 flu activity peaked in the U.S.”

^that does not mesh with this below. In fact it’s quite the opposite

Quote:

“What he did in October was declare a national emergency as the new flu season started and the cases started to grow again. A Public Health Emergency and National Emergency are two different things. You, and an idiot, not so much.”

Yea you really swatted me!

Do what you please, even to the point of replying. But for the love of GAWD, do not quote it.

-Canada won't ban flights from COVID-19 hot spots or shut borders, containment remains strategy-

A Health Canada spokesperson told The Toronto Sun containment is still Canada’s strategy and that the Canadian government will not shut down its borders or ban direct or connecting flights from China.

The same applies to Italy and Iran, despite Ghebreyesus confirming “24 cases had been exported from Italy to 14 countries and 97 cases had been exported from Iran to 11 countries.”

You know, part of me wants to sympathize with Trump a little bit, since critics are using this entire coronavirus thing to lambast him again. But then you look at his appointment of pence and his general idiocy, and you wake yourself back up to reality.

Mods- I'll shut up about politics now. This thread is too good to wind up in polyass.

Yes, I read that...the head of the cdc copped to the mistake.
Typical deebased parroting bullshit.

Except MSNBC didn't give a sex and only an age.

But for dumbfucks willing to trust the MSM facts left the debate decades ago.

I've spent the past 5+ years doing a ton of international travel for work. Our company came out with a policy this week to cancel all non-essential travel, but at this point it's up to individual employees to determine what's essential and what's not.

I'm supposed to be in the UK in a couple weeks for a work trip that is pretty important. Not sure yet if I'm going to go.

On another note, our Tokyo office is shut down indefinitely and all employees are working from home until further notice. Their kids are all out of school for at least the next month.

Talked to a DR friend out on the trail today and she had seen a man with all the criteria although there are zero test kits in the whole state.

Called the state health dept for further direction and got an answering machine.
