CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte woman hasn’t left her house in more than three weeks, yet still tested positive for COVID-19 late Thursday.
“I’m absolutely terrified,” Rachel Brummert, who already has an autoimmune disorder, said. “This is the sickest I’ve ever been and it’s the most scared I’ve ever been. From what I’m hearing about ventilators, it’s scary stuff. I’m really hoping I can wait this out at home.”

At a higher risk for complications due to her underlying condition, Brummert said she listened to the health experts. Other than a trip to the pharmacy more than three weeks ago, she hasn’t left her house once.
“I really thought I was doing everything right,” she said.
Brummert said aside from the pharmacist and her husband, who grocery shops but is temporarily living in a separate room, the only other person she’s come into contact with is a woman who volunteered to drop off groceries at her doorstep once. Brummert said the woman later tested positive for COVID-19.
“I barely had any contact,” she said. “I didn’t even touch her.”
Brummert said she gets the mail every few days, but always wears gloves. However, she didn’t think to wear gloves when bringing in packages from her front porch. In addition, she said she hasn’t eaten takeout.

Misleading title.

She caught it from the person bringing her groceries.

Incredible that it's twenty fricking twenty and people don't understand how diseases spread.

Being afraid is stupid. If it's your time, it's your time. Live while you can.

This is why we can’t live in fear. You’re going to get if you’re going to get it.

Well I mean people act like gloves have a magical antisceptic field rather then simply being essentially a disposable layer of skin.

Or, her husband was getting up close and personal with the grocery lady and got it from her and passed it on to the wifey.

It's a real mystery. I'm glad this is making headlines.

A lot of these Karens are being all anal about all of their "precautions" yet still touching all manner of shite and cross contaminating everything with their gloves.

Plus wearing homemade cloth masks and dumb shite.

BS. Granted, only a small subsection of the population really warrant such a move, but don’t act like this woman’s stupidity is evidence of it being not preventable.

Hell, she probably thought it was worthwhile to have the husband in another room and thought it was okay to share a kitchen/bathroom.

It’s simple: people keep on acting like they need to avoid infected people when in reality they need to avoid things potentially infected people touched.

It’s not super complicated, but people refuse to tackle the actual problem.

“I barely had any contact.”

So you had direct contact with a person who was positive. And sounds like she didn’t even have the delivery person drop it off outside the door but actually directly interacted with her.
