Couple Under House Arrest After Testing Positive For COVID-19
ABC 13 ^ | 07/18/20

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky -- A Kentucky couple is under house arrest after one of them tested positive for coronavirus and refused to sign self-quarantine papers.

Elizabeth Linscott got tested for COVID-19 because she was planning to go visit her parents.

"My grandparents wanted to see me, too, so, just to make sure that, you know, if I tested negative, that they would be okay, everything would be fine," Linscott said.

After testing positive but without showing any symptoms, Linscott said the health department contacted her, requesting she sign documents.

"I agreed to comply to call the Health Department if I was to go. I was to call the Health Department if I was to leave my house for any reason," she said.

But, she chose not to sign.

"I had gotten a message from them, a text message that stated, because of your refusal to sign, this is going to be escalated, and law enforcement will be involved," she said.

Later that week, the county sheriff greeted Linscott's husband, Isaiah, at their front door.

"I open up the door, and there's like eight different people, five different cars, and I'm like 'what the heck's going on?' This guy's in a suit with a mask. It's the Health Department guy, and they have three papers for us. For me, her and my daughter," he said.

The couple was ordered to wear ankle monitors. If they travel more than 200 feet, law enforcement will be notified.

"We didn't rob a store. We didn't steal something. We didn't hit and run. We didn't do anything wrong," Linscott said.

The couple said they never denied self-quarantining. They just didn't agree with the wording of the documents.

And this is why you should not get tested if you don’’t have to be tested.

(Yes, I realize some people are forced to be tested by their employers.)

I believe we will start to see people being arrested and processed for not wearing face masks outdoors in public.

Begs the question, what won't the cops go along with? Where do they draw the line? Every knows these local politicians are enabling, aiding and abetting rioters, looters and vandals. Then the cops say they can't enforce the law because of their own political bosses.

And they seem to be going along with these very unconstitutional local mandates in regards to this Chicom flu, not to mention standing around watching entire cities be trashed while the innocent are assaulted and worse.

Paychecks and pensions over principle?

Historically sound.
Just the kind of procedure our Founders would have followed!

Whether this virus meets a plague threat is debatable of course. But by being debatable shows it’s not to be ignored.

The BLM rioters and other SJWs trying to de-fund the police have been rebelling against precautions, too.
