Armed residents confront COVID-19 testing team in Minnesota

yesterday

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A team of health workers conducting random COVID-19 testing was recently confronted by armed residents in a Minnesota neighborhood, though state officials have not said when or where the incident occurred.

Health officials have been doing random testing of households in 180 Minnesota communities since Monday to help understand how COVID-19 is spread. The state hasn’t said where the studies are being conducted.

Minnesota Department of Health spokeswoman Julie Bartkey told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the team did the right thing by leaving the situation and notifying a site coordinator.

The article doesn't give the town. How hard is that for AP to figure out?

Fuck these yahoos. My state looks worse every day.
