More Than 130 California Security Officers Have Died From the Coronavirus
Charlotte NC March 11 2011
After a recent report from The Guardian which stated that at least 90 California security officers died in that state from the Coronavirus, we began asking questions and digging deeper.
According to new records that we have obtained with the assistance of a local reporter and The Guardian, we have determined that more than 130 known security officers in California have died from the virus including at least 10 so far this year.
Although the numbers do not tell the whole story, we know that many of the fallen security officers had been on duty, working and around crowds prior to falling ill.
We have also determined previously through interviews and on-site observations, that many security personnel were not equipped with proper Personal Protection Equipment and still are not today which certainly added to the spread of the virus as well as to the deaths of security officers.
According to the news site, The Guardian, when the Covid-19 pandemic closed down California’s offices, malls and event spaces last year, nearly 200,000 security officers stayed behind working in retail
,
grocery stores and other businesses.
