This is not the way to do this, folks
California residents keep calling 911 on coughing neighbors during coronavirus pandemic
California residents are calling the police on neighbors they hear coughing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Riverside County police officers have seen their 15th instance of people reporting coughing neighbors to authorities, according to the Desert Sun. The Coachella Valley, Cathedral City, and Palm Springs departments have all been receiving calls from residents concerned their neighbors have the coronavirus because they heard them sneeze or cough.
Authorities are treating each call seriously and often send paramedics to the area if treatment is needed.
California Peace Officers Association President Neil Gallucci, however, warned that sending paramedics to a possibly infected patient’s house after a call from concerned neighbors raises the chances of first responders contracting the virus and spreading it to each other.
I would think the first concern would be dispatching law enforcement officers to check on coughs rather than deal with crime. But, this is California, ya know. Hey, perhaps the governor could ask people to stop doing crime, kinda like the mayor of Baltimore asked the low lifes to stop shooting each other, because they’re taking hospital beds. Hasn’t worked so far in that Democratic Party run den of rats.
