Ok, I just called and spoke to Ms. Kerry (Warden's secretary) again. This is what she had to say:
There is No TB cases left, they only had 1 in dorm #7 and he has been moved.
Now as far as the Chicken Pox, she now say's several inmates in dorm #7 have chicken pox, they have the Health Dept involved and no inmates will be moved in or out of this dorm. The reason is that if they have already been infected, it takes a few days before the reash comes out. She say's and I did confirm that chicken pox can be spread by air when someone sneeze's or cough's, which is why the other inmates and guards going in that dorm are wearing masks. I asked her how long the lockdown/quarantine would last, she put me on hold to speak with the warden and came back and said they had another outbreak this morning and that this dorm will remain under quarantine until 21 days with no outbreaks. So it looks like dorm #7 has at least 21 more days of even less freedom, more than they already lost. Let's just pray today is the last outbeak!!!!
God Bless,
Linda:thumbsup:

The incubation period—the time from exposure to the chickenpox virus until you develop symptoms—is usually 14 to 16 days but can be from 10 to 21 days...hopefully there will be no more outbreaks
