Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Friday that he and his wife have both tested positive for the coronavirus, though he said he is showing no symptoms.
Hes among four governors around the country who have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, but one of the others turned out to be a false positive.
Northam and his wife, who has mild symptoms, plan to isolate for the next 10 days while working remotely, according to a statement from his office.
The Democrat, the countrys only governor who is also a doctor, has previously been criticized by some Republican lawmakers who say his restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus are too stringent.
Northam said in a statement that his test result shows that the virus is very real and very contagious.

Ralph is 61 and his wife is 57. According to the newly published CDC Survival rates they have a 0.5% chance of dying. This is so terrible, I don’t know how I’m going to sleep tonight. I hope the media has 24/7 coverage of their progress.
0-19 99.997%
20-49 99.98%
50-69 99.5%

COVID-19 is such a joke already. In reality does anybody care that they are infected?
Not too late to abort him
How conveeeeeeenient.
Who cares? Are they hospitalized? Seems that their lockdown and mask rules didn’t keep them or their staff from being exposed. That is assuming that they adhered to their rules which I’m sure as democrats they did not.
That Sinfeld video sums up my feelings too.
Thoughts and prayers to Coonman!
Post of the month!
Good thinking. We can put nothing past the vile bastards.
Flu season is coming and I wonder if masks will be required for that.
This may hamper the plans to steal the election, at least in Virginia.
Sure he did...
Not N95 respirators that could actually protect them. Cloth and surgical masks are intended to protect others from the wearer.
Yep. And the excuse to not debate has been exposed.
The plan to keep Trump from his Virginia rally
Has there ever been a test for any virus or flu, or any other disease, that showed a positive result for so many people who are asymptomatic? Perhaps Obama was smart to have simply ended nationwide testing for H1N1 in the summer. Trump keeps touting the huge number of tests that the USA has administered. Is it helping or hurting?
The media covers for anything Obama did no matter for good or ill. So Obama didn’t have to be “smart”.
I thought masks work.
It wouldn’t be surprising.
Thanks.
