Fla. woman who tested for COVID-19 arrested after outdoor livestream

The Stuart Police Department, in Stuart, Fla., said Thursday that Melissa Barton-Schmitt had set up a Facebook Live during a walk through the city’s downtown.“While broadcasting, Melissa discussed the fact that she had recently been tested for COVID-19 and has not received test results yet,” the police department wrote in a Facebook post. “In one of her posts, she discussed how she believed her test would come back positive and people should remain in their homes to stay safe.

Following a complaint from someone watching the broadcast, officers were dispatched to the area. Upon arrival, police say Barton-Schmitt became agitated and “began to cause a disturbance.” Barton-Schmitt was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and violation of Florida’s executive order that anyone tested for COVID-19 must remain quarantined for 14 days or until the test comes back negative.

Police said they normally don’t publish medical information, but stated Barton-Schmitt “waived her right to privacy when she posted the information publicly on social media.”

Idiot....

What is wrong with these people

Who tested positive* whoever is doing your media postings needs to slow down with the titles. Lots of errors make for hard reading or dismissive browsing.

I wouldn't go near that, I'm surprised COVID-19 did.

Shocker

Bet she tested positive for a few things.

Les effets de la désinstitutionnalisation!

I often wonder how Trump ever got elected. But then I keep seeing stories like this, and realize how many really dumb people there are in the US. Millions apparently.

Another one of these CTV Americans bad people stories. Yet doesn’t report when our idiot health minister says that closing boarders doesn’t help with quarantine
