Apparently she's all about infecting innocent people. So, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm hoping she infects her entire family too.
Live by the sword, die by the sword...hopefully.
Reap what you sow.
Be careful what you wish for.

I would suspect they would treat this as criminalization for something like STD and AIDS criminal laws. Here is an article from the CDC on the matter (please see the website for images not shown, it is the CDC website not clickbait):
HIV and STD Criminal Laws
During the early years of the HIV epidemic, a number of states implemented HIV-specific criminal exposure laws. Some of these state laws criminalize behavior that cannot transmit HIV and apply regardless of actual transmission. As of 2018, 26 states had laws that criminalize HIV exposure.
HIV Risk Behaviors
The laws for the 50 states and the District of Columbia were assessed and categorized into five categories.
1. HIV-specific criminal laws criminalize behaviors that can potentially expose another to HIV.
2. STD/communicable/infectious disease criminal laws criminalize behaviors that can potentially expose another to STD/communicable/infectious diseases. This might include HIV.
3. Sentence enhancement specific to HIV are laws that do not criminalize a behavior but increase the sentence length when a person commits certain crimes while infected with HIV.
4. Sentence enhancement specific to STD are laws that do not criminalize a behavior but increase the sentence length when a person commits certain crimes while infected with an STD. This might include HIV. No HIV criminalization laws.
General criminal statutes, such as reckless endangerment and attempted murder, can be used to criminalize behaviors that can potentially expose another to HIV and or an STD.

This map [not shown] depicts the different HIV criminalization laws across the United States
Criminalization of potential HIV exposure is largely a matter of state law, with some Federal legislation addressing criminalization in discrete areas, such as blood donation and prostitution. These laws vary as to what behaviors are criminalized or what behaviors result in additional penalties.
In 19 states, laws require persons who are aware that they have HIV to disclose their status to sexual partners and 12 states require disclosure to needle-sharing partners. Several states criminalize one or more behaviors that pose a low or negligible risk for HIV.

Some laws identified in the analysis account for HIV prevention measures that reduce transmission risk, such as condom use, and antiretroviral therapy (ART). These analyses may be used by states to assess their laws alignment with current evidence regarding HIV transmission risk.

The maximum sentence length for violating an HIV-specific statute is also a matter of state law. Some states have a maximum sentence length as high as up to life in prison, while others have maximum sentence lengths that are less than 10 years.

It should be noted that all states have general criminal lawssuch as assault, battery, reckless endangerment, and attempted murderthat can and have been used to prosecute PWH for any of the above-mentioned behaviors. For example, Texas does not have laws that specifically criminalize HIV exposure but has used general criminal statutes, like aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, to criminalize defendants with HIV. See, Mathonican v. State, 194 S.W.3d 59, 67 (Tex. App. Texarkana 2006) finding that the seminal fluid of the HIV-positive defendant was a deadly weapon.
The information presented here does not constitute legal advice and does not represent the legal views of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the Department of Health and Human Services, nor is it a comprehensive analysis of all legal provisions relevant to HIV. This information is subject to change and does not contain measures implemented by counties, cities, or other localities. Use of any provision herein should be contemplated only in conjunction with advice from legal counsel.

Back in the 2000’s during Bush, there was a raid on a Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan where a cache of documents and laptops were seized. The islamists were planning on having sleepers in the US become infected with various diseases and mingle with the population to spread it. It appears the democrats are now indistinguishable from the taliban, ISIS, or imperial japanese soldiers etc.

I know she’s not from Spain. CdeBaca is a Spanish name.
I said she was from Colorado or NM.
She looks Latino and Latino is a mixture of Spanish and other things. I have known blue eyed, blond people in northern NM who considered themselves “Spanish”.

Better .. say “Due to threats of bio-terrorism by members of the Democrat party, I feel this is the wisest decision.”

OR, giving some mentally ill person or group of people infected with coronavirus an idea. It is a suggestion that one doesnt need a gun and is completely irresponsible and dangerous. Not just to political rallies, but schools, colleges, churches, malls, sporting events. Again, this is sedition.

In Washington state, the leg is considering a bill that makes the intentional passing of a contagious disease a misdemeanor (down from the present felony). So she'd be OK here.

Wait until the DemonRATs declare Trump rallies as a health thread because of the C-virus “epidemic.” That will effectively shut down Trump’s ability to communicate to the electorate.

She needs a visit from the US Secret Service and at least a 14 day detention for “questioning”.
