Police in Texas are searching for an 18-year-old girl who claimed in a series of Snapchat videos to have tested positive for and to be "willfully spreading" the coronavirus.

The teenager, identified by police in Carrollton, near Dallas, as Lorraine Maradiaga, faces a charge of making a terroristic threat.

"We have no confirmation Maradiaga is actually a threat to public health," police said in a statement Sunday. "We are, however, taking her social media actions very seriously."

Lorraine Maradiaga should be charged with terrorism.

I’ve said it before and I still maintain that social media is going to bring about the end of our species.

I think they should remove the showing the number of “likes” and/or “views” on posts. If the poster wants to know then they need a contact who will review the content and tell them their numbers.
