    Breaking news-woman goes for bike ride.

    I wonder how the tabloids will spin this story?

    Without a court order, the police were barred from detaining her.

    Really?...!

    No laws against bike riding?

    That's nice.

    "...defied the voluntary quarantine order..."

    I get the word 'the' but the others?

    It's even more bonkers than it seems. According to the New York Times "Ms. Hickox has never shown symptoms of the virus and tested negative for it several hours after being quarantined;"

    Zesty - rest easy, she was wearing a helmet ;)

    New collective noun?

    @chdot - nah, the collective noun for a group of reporters is a scoop.

    ...and while we're at it, the collective noun for a group of orthodontists is (obviously) a brace.

    I'll get my coat.

    @greenroofer

    My in-skull name for anyone unwilling to examine new ideas or abandon traditional practices at work but nonetheless muddling by is 'orthodonkey'.

    It's entirely possible this article was written by such a creature.
