Leader of North Carolina anti-lockdown protests tests positive for COVID-19
A leader of an anti-lockdown protest group in North Carolina says that she has tested positive for COVID-19 — and she’s angry that she was forced to quarantine for two weeks to avoid spreading the virus to other people.
Local news station CBS 17 reports that Audrey Whitlock, a leader of the ReOpen NC protest movement, posted on Facebook this week that she has been under quarantine for the past two weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
She says that she has been asymptomatic throughout the quarantine, and she bitterly complained about having to stay inside to avoid infecting other people.
“I have been told not to participate in public or private accommodations as requested by the government, and therefore denied my 1st amendment right of freedom of religion,” she wrote. “It has been insinuated by others that if I go out, I could be arrested for denying a quarantine order.”
North Carolina has more than 9,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University .

Maybe a slug or two of Lysol will get her back in action faster.
Does she truly not understand why the government wants her in quarantine? I don't care if she's asymptomatic she can still spread that virus.
She sounds like a very selfish woman.
hopefully she had lots of previous interaction with her like minded peers.
Nice !
survival of the fittest - natural selection, nature's lottery...
Are you mourning for the "Blue States" right now, or just HAPPY ?
no, I'm mocking a moron that ignored the warning sign and went over the guard rail... toodle-loo...
"The News"....is "Lemming" driven !
They know there are lots of " Fickle Folks" out there …… that Believe …… Everything they tell them !

Deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction, WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.
ooooops ! Too Late !
I have a few choice words for someone like that. Selfish is the nicest I can think of.
That she doesn't even care if she would go around infecting people.
Sounds like someone at one time tried to knock some sense into her and it never worked.
Was knocked one to many times and now has brain damage.
Fucking moron.
Any bets that she's an anti-vaxxer too?
Does this schmuck realize that she can worship outside of a church? Jesus never had a church and his devotees listened to his sermons without having to pay money to some supposed man of God so that they can buy that new camel. If she breaks quarantine and she will, bet on it, I say bust her, slap a substantial fine on her and make her wear an ankle monitor. First time out, another fine, second time locked down with no way to do it again, and if somehow there is a third time, bed pan duty in a CV unit for 6 months.
Amazing isn't it. Apparently their god is not very inclusive if one can only worship in a designated building.
It seems "religious freedom" has become the go to excuse for violating the law or other orders, including those pertaining to public safety. We've seen this excuse before with the whole "gay wedding cake" fiasco a few years back and we're seeing it now with quarantine orders.
Karma is a bitch isn't it and so is Audrey
Not really since she is not experiencing any symptoms and is good for the country as she will now be a brick in the wall of building herd immunity.
Rather, I would think her insistence that covid positive people should be free to go about their business will make it likely more people in her state get sick.
Did you read the article that a portion of asymptomatic positive younger people were dying of stroke.
They haven't proven that there is any immunity for people who have had it
True, but that would be very unique as humans generate immunity in response to infections if we survive.
I haven't read anything about it recently yet they were saying in SK some people that recovered were testing positive again.
What that could mean, Idk.
It depends on what type of testing is performed. Serological tests detect the specific antibodies the body produces to fight Covid. A person needs to have been exposed to Covid to trigger an immune response to produce antibodies. In such instances, even a healthy or recovered person will still test positive, as they have the Covid antibodies.
I also heard about people suffering from strokes. I do recall some reports saying Covid can affect or damage other organs besides the lungs. That might explain the correlation to strokes.
More like culling the herd. Going around with Covid and defying quarantine orders is practically like assault with a deadly weapon.
assault with a deadly weapon.
Exactly the same crap the religious right pulled with HIV, but in reverse.....
How is it reversed?
