Kentucky couple fit with ankle monitors, placed on house arrest for refusing to sign quarantine documents

Via Fox News

Kentucky couple was fitted with ankle monitors and placed on house arrest after the wife tested positive for coronavirus but refused to sign self-quarantine documents, according to reports.

Elizabeth Linscott said she got tested for COVID-19 as a precaution because she was planning to visit her parents in Michigan. She received a positive test result but showed no symptoms.

She said the Hardin County Health Department asked her to sign documents agreeing to call them any time she left her house. The young mother claims she never refused to self-quarantine but said she would not sign the documents because of how they were worded, WAVE reported.

“My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I’m not going to wait to get the approval to go,” Linscott told the station.

After opting not to sign the health department papers, Linscott said she received a text message informing her that the situation would be escalated and law enforcement would be involved, KABC-TV reported. Her husband, Isaiah, said he was greeted by officers at their front door later that week.

“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,” Isaiah Linscott said.

“We didn’t rob a store. We didn’t steal something. We didn’t hit and run. We didn’t do anything wrong,” Elizabeth Linscott added.

The couple said they were fitted with ankle monitors that go off if they stray more than 200 feet from their home.

Elizabeth Linscott said that although she never refused to self-quarantine, “that’s exactly what the director of the public health department told the judge.”

“I’m like, ‘that’s not the case at all. I never said that,” she said.

If she did need to go to the hospital, Linscott said she planned to take necessary precautions like informing healthcare workers that she recently tested positive.  The couple now plans to hire an attorney.

The fake limited-hangout stories about serious news topics always precedes the REAL NEWS.

But that is “OUR JOB” to decide.

“Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”
Always thought that was said by Stalin, but just learned today it was someone worse, Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria.
And also the Hardin County Health Department. Liked the part of how the order was worded, and we just know how these marxist change the meanings of a word daily.
Wonder when the shipments of surplus military weapons and ammo show up for health departments around the Country, if not already. Departments of Agriculture have already received theirs.
By the way, if you think the military is on the side of right, one better think again.

I recently got an email from a doctor’s office, offering the beer virus test for $35.00. Take it for peace of mind….oh the irony. Back when AIDS was the issue people would go in and give false names when they took the AIDS virus test, they didn’t want any possible repercussions should their status be positive.
The truly frightening part here is the claim that you can have it and not have symptoms which is essentially bullshit. The other truly frightening aspect is the numbers of false positives, like the paw-paw and goat who tested positive in Tanzania and the college kids who signed up for the test, never took it and yet go notices that they were positive.
The police state grows and grows with each passing day.

The couple now plans to hire an attorney to secure the rights they are allegedly entitled to anyway.
So what happens when we are all on universal basic income?
The fact that laws are so vague and complicated that we needs lawyers for sneezing is a Jewish thing. I keep bringing it back around to the real cause of our problems so that maybe before it’s too late we can start attacking the Problem instead of discussing the symptoms. Talk about being an optomist.

Their mistake was getting tested in the first place. Hiring an attorney is what anyone who can afford to needs to due. Sue these criminal bastards for as much as possible. Nothing would be a better deterrent to this behavior than dozens of lawsuits.

Part of the problem is some employers require the test before the employee can return to work. I’m beginning to think some of the tests or those testing are screwed up. Imagine that. Sarcasm off.

The tests are 50% accurate if that and the antibody tests will show positive if you have ever had the cold caused by one of the many viruses in the CV family. It’s pseudo science… Chip

Better yet, tie the ankle bracelet to a stray dog or leave it on a public bus…

Just wait. Soon you will need to carry a card showing when you were last tested or you will be denied entrance into stores and other places.
