Understand this happened in early march and she tested negative.I understand her concern but to say she had it when she may or may not have at one time is not being accurate.This needs to be taken in context of when it actually happened,the population was approaching stampede mode.People in health care/transporting goods(whether foods or meds)/operating Groceries or gas staions/Pharmacies etc.were coming home and finding shelves bare because of individuals like this no matter how innocent the tweet or post - that could escalate the situation.Many of those working had no choice but to come into work while everyone else you and I included cleared of the shelves during a potentially perilous period.Hey thanx precious while sounding an alarm that didn't need to be hit.I know of two people who absolutely felt the had it(not including MDoT here) one was my buddies 22 yrd old son who is a gymn rat.They never sought medical help nor did they stand up on a soap box and decree they were in the grasp of the plague.Had things IMO got a little worse martial law could be declareded - how would that be for her rights?
But it did not.
The timeline, per the lawsuit:
March 22: Goes to hospital. Send home with inhaler, telling her she had the symptoms but they couldn't test at the time.
Parents call the school. She goes to instagram and writes: “Hey guys… sorry I’ve been on a long break.. I wont be back for a while longer due to me no[w] having the COVID-19 virus… I don’t want the attention its just the truth… I am now in self quarantine and am not allow[e]d to leave my room and have an inhaler since they said to go home… best of wishes. love you guys.”
Not highly responsible, but 16-year-olds are what they are
March 25: Goes to a better hospital as symptoms worsen. Family gets call from principal, reiterates situation.
She's tested, negative, "The doctors told the Cohoons that Amyiah still likely had COVID-19 and had missed the window for testing positive."
March 26: Returns home and writes "I am finally home after being hospitalized for a day and a half. I am still on breathing treatment but have beaten the coronavirus. Stay home and be safe.”
The explanation was that "Sergeant Klump stated that Sheriff Konrath wanted the post removed because there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county at that time," again, per the lawsuit.
If true, and obviously that's only one part of the story, it does not seem good nor does it seem particularly justified. The standard for what speech might inspire is justifiably high. People finding out there had been a grocery run likely doesn't get near that bar.
