RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A leader of the ReOpen NC group revealed in a Facebook post that she tested positive for COVID-19.

Audrey Whitlock posted to the ReOpen NC Facebook page early Sunday saying her two-week quarantine was ending. She described herself as an “an asymptomatic COVID19 positive patient.”

Whitlock is one of the administrators of the ReOpen NC Facebook page – which has helped organize two protests in downtown Raleigh calling for Gov. Roy Cooper to lift his stay-at-home order.

In Whitlock’s post, she wrote about how the restrictions put in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic are violating her First Amendment rights as well as her 5th and 14th Amendment rights.

She said she was “forced” to quarantine which violated her First Amendment rights.

then later claimed to only be in charge of the FB group and said she had never been to a protest. Local news, here in NC, is reporting her story as if it is completely true and verified, though. Either way, her right to be an asshole should not be above the rest of our rights to not be subjected to this horrid virus when the state reopens, because these assholes spread it so much. We will probably never know how fast we could have gotten this thing under control if not for Trump and his BS and these assholes and their BS.
