Massachusetts police are looking for a man they say spat at two women hikers who weren’t wearing face masks — and who then told them he had COVID-19.

The man angrily approached the women as they hiked along the Hudson Overlook on the Midstate Trail in Ashburnham on Nov. 15, police said.

He was caught on video spitting at the woman who was filming the encounter.

“I have COVID,” the man can be heard saying. “I’ve been tested positive.”

The man then spits a second time at the woman.

“Are you OK?” she asks.

“No!” the man replies.

Police have not released the identities of the man or the hikers.

...snip..

Police said the man could face an assault charge and a charge of false threat of a biological agent.

Clearly battery, or an assault if he missed, as he acknowledges to be Covid positive. I look forward to the news of an arrest.

A little off topic, but I guess covid related assaults have reached the outdoors.

On a beautiful seaside trail in Cambria, CA the other day........We saw a guy walking his poodle. No one within 100 feet of the guy and HE WAS WEARING A FREAKIN’ MASK on a beautiful sunny day. WE FELT SO EMBARRASSED FOR HIM.

If someone spits at me I guarantee you my reaction won’t be to ask if he is okay.

Bizarre.

This is MA, where our illustrious *democraticK* governor says it is indeed required.

I thought everybody with a case of CoVid is hospitalized and then dies. He’s an old dude, so he should have several comorbidities. What’s he doing outside? Doesn’t he know he should be shut in inside his home?

(In case it’s needed, here’s the tag.)

Our infected gov (nv) indicated that last night when he announced a new three week “pause” starting at 0001 11/24/2020. Mask up outside. Not when I’m by myself. If I need groceries I’ll wear my shield that clips to my glasses.

wouldn’t 30-60 days in the County Jail allow him enough time to learn some respect for his fellow man??

If he’s actually positive, you could argue attempted murder. Too bad they didn’t beat him half to death and leave him for the vultures.
