Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has tested positive for COVID-19 as the Senate prepares to reconvene this week after a two-week recess.

In a statement on Sunday, Schumer’s spokesperson Justin Goodman said the senator is experiencing mild symptoms and is fully vaccinated and boosted against the virus.

“Consistent with the CDC guidance, Leader Schumer will quarantine this week and work remotely,” Goodman said in a statement. “Anyone who knows Leader Schumer knows that even if he’s not physically in the Capitol, through virtual meetings and his trademark flip phone he will continue with his robust schedule and remain in near constant contact with his colleagues.”

“As we do every week, we will provide any updates to the Senate floor schedule as the week progresses,” Goodman added.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is still recovering from a broken hip and will also be absent from the Senate this week. His office announced the senator was discharged from the hospital last week after undergoing hip replacement surgery.

Maybe Chuckles should also be tested for BS.

If so, confine him at Walter Reed, put him on Remdesivir for 10 days, surely that Covid-19 thing might go away. I read Fauci also had severe Covid-19, put him to Walter Reed, too, treat him with miraculous wonder drug Remdesivir!

Didn’t he test positive about two months ago?

Or was that some other blowhard demonrat or cabalist?

I can’t keep up anymore.

I read somewhere that Trudeau tested positive—again.

Hope there is a ventilator in his future.

So, no votes on anything this week (I doubt anything was scheduled, anyway).

Chuck, We Hardly Knew Ye!

Ahhhh....Nice....Senators have to be in chambers for any vote. If he has it, I imagine a few more Dems that run with him have it.

[who knows what evil?]

Yawn...he’ll be fine...just like pretty much every other government employee/bureaucrat/politician who has come down with COVID...

You listen up Shoooomaaa.

From the article:Schumer’s spokesperson Justin Goodman said the senator... is fully vaccinated and boosted against the virus.

...clearly not "vaccinated" nor boosted. Yet spokesman Justin Goodman lies as expected.

[KSCITYBOY]

seems he’s had it at least twice

Schumer IS a virus. Nanzi and No-nads are parasites.

“Safe and Effective” bump.

[fwdude]

Maybe he forgot to get his 3-month booster.

Probably has nothing to do with all the Hunter info leaking.
