COVID-19 outbreak shuts down entire police department in Illinois

[NYPOST] A COVID-19 outbreak has infected every member of a southwest Illinois police department, the town’s mayor said.
I hope they gave it to every member of the local criminal element.
All three cops and the chief of police in Venice, a town of 2,100 outside St. Louis, have contracted the bug, forcing the department to shut down as they complete mandatory 10-day quarantines, Mayor Tyrone Echols told the Belleville News-Democrat Thursday.

"I think it’s everybody except for possibly two dispatchers," Echols said of the department’s impacted employees, including Police Chief Theo Adams.

"He sounded pretty rough," Echols said of the town’s top cop.

Venice will be patrolled by Illinois State Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout Madison County until its officers return to duty.

"I want everyone to know we are covered," Echols told the newspaper, adding that the department had at least eight cops at one point, but they "come and go" in search of better pay, leaving the agency short-staffed amid the ongoing pandemic.

The officers and Adams started getting sick late last week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

#2 Venice is tiny spot on the map and the real crime problem is East St. Louis about 2 miles over.

Now if East. St. Louis or Collinsville had the Blue Flu that would be interesting. But there are a lot serious gun owners in the area.
