152) and counting… More that one quarter of Congress has been infected.
Oh and some Rep. named Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had COVID when he attended his son’s mask less wedding. At the time of the event, state mandates required masks at weddings and banned receptions altogether. He could have been infectious, but asymptomatic, as he mingled with family members and others at the ceremony. He also could have contracted COVID at the wedding. The wedding was a super spreader event since 19 others were infected who attended the ceremony.
COVID won the speakers seat by a landslide.
