Elizabeth Linscott got tested for COVID-19 as a precaution before she visited her family in Michigan. As it happens, she was positive but had no symptoms. They wanted her to sign a health department document asserting that she would not travel anywhere unless she notified them. She didn’t sign the paperwork, not because she wouldn’t do it, she just didn’t like the wording.
“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 TV station.
Days later, authorities — 8 people in 5 cars — arrived at their home and placed ankle monitors on her and her husband. The monitors go off if either goes more than 200 feet from their home.
Her husband was home when the officials showed up.
“I open up the door and there’s like eight different people,” he said. “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 he has three different papers for us. For me, her and my daughter.”

While criminals are being turned loose, It only took 8 people to harass the couple that did nothing wrong!
Who has time to notify the health department, which might not be available, in an emergency? Would the child be taken from them if they set off their monitors?!
We had a chance to stop these widespread violations in civil liberties, back when Barr in 2 TV appearances claimed he was monitoring the situation and concerned. Of course, he took no actions, giving a green light to the abuse. Barr is the problem.
