This is happening in Montreal. A couple of weeks ago, in a movie theatre,
a
person sat on something sharp in one of
the seats. When she stood up to see
what it was, a needle was found poking
through the seat with an attached
note saying, "You have been
infected with HIV".
The Centers for Disease Control reports
similar events have taken place in
several other cities recently. All of
the needles tested HAVE been positive
for HIV. The CDC also reports that
needles have been found in the coin
return areas of pay phones and soda
machines.
Everyone is asked to use extreme caution
when confronted with these types of
situations. All public chairs should be
thoroughly but safely inspected
prior to any use. A thorough visual
inspection is considered a bare minimum.
Furthermore, they ask that everyone
notify their family members and friends
of the potential dangers, as well. Thank
you.
The previous information was sent from
the Regina City Police Department to
all of the local governments in the
Saskatchewan area and was
interdepartmentally dispersed. We were
asked to pass this to as many people
as possible.
This is very important!! Just think you
could save somebody's life, just by
passing this on. Please take a couple of
seconds of your time and pass this
on.
Thank you!!!
