As of May 11, 636 inmates at Federal Medical Center Fort Worth — 43 percent of the total population — tested positive for coronavirus. LBJ's Michele Deitch talks about the difficulties in keeping disease from spreading in close quarters. "If it got in early and they didn't take the steps to mitigate the risk from spreading early on, it's not surprising," she said. "Some of the steps they needed to take needed to be taken a long time ago."
