Couple under house arrest after testing positive for COVID-19

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 can't understand why anyone would want to be tested if they're not symptomatic.

With plague mentality running amok, anyone even disclosing they have it, are going to have tough go, in any social situation.

Getting tested for a disease you don't have is today's "Loyalty Oath".
