All the sheriff has to say is, “It was done out of an abundance of caution.”

Imagine if COVID 19 was around when they filmed Ferris Buellar’s Day Off.

Why are they even bothered that she spoke the truth?

In my county in Wisconsin and those surrounding that I keep a watch on, the identities are protected. There is enough panic without narrowing down a clock or neighborhood.

The band trip was - likely - sponsored by the school. This is nothing more or less than a bureaucracy sterilizing its litter box.

As usual, the best info is at the bottom of the article. I guess they didn’t want her panicking parents, students, and teachers with a false claim that she had COVID-19:

“It was brought to my attention today that there was a rumor floating out there that one of our students contracted Covid-19 while on the band trip to Florida two weeks ago. Let me assure you there is NO truth to this. This was a foolish means to get attention and the source of the rumor has been addressed. This rumor had caught the attention of our Public Health Department and she was involved in putting a stop to this nonsense. In times like this, the last thing we need out there is misinformation,’ the administrator wrote.

“Amyiah ended up in the hospital three days later after symptoms worsened. She tested negative for COVID-19 in Madison, but doctors noted that the 16-year-old had “symptoms consistent with COVID-19” but had missed the testing window, according to the court documents.”

11 people on the fire department I retired from tested positive for “Covid 19” two weeks ago. Only 1 developed very mild symptoms. Now they all test negative. Most people with mild exposures do not develop any symptoms before getting over it.

> Doctors at Divine Savior Hospital in Portage indicated to the Cohoons that their daughter likely had COVID-19... <

That’s the bottom line right there. I hope this young lady gets a good lawyer and sues the pants off the sheriff’s office and the school district. The sheriff, in particular, should be forced to resign.

(Just when I started to hate lawyers again, a story like this comes along.)

Side note: I am very disturbed by the “disorderly conduct” threat. A cop doesn’t like what you’re doing? It’s disorderly conduct!

Sorry, cut and dried violation of 1st Amendment, a government official forcing the curtailment of a citizen's freedom of speech! This pandemic is giving license to authoritarians for these actions, probably couched in the frame of "Public Safety".

I respond to their plea of safety with a 1755 quote from a Benjamin Franklin letter; "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Also William Pitt the Younger [1783]; “ ...necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

The police are part of the Government. To Wit}The Executive Branch. They will do the bidding of their superiors the Constitution be dammed.

The girl,by testifying about her personal experience strayed from the official narrative. This cannot be allowed. She must be silenced.

The lawyers are going to get rich off what has happened in recent weeks. Usually, that might piss me off but if they bankrupt a few cities that works for me.
