Lawmakers are beginning to push for Congress to go into recess because of the growing coronavirus outbreak, with some expressing concern that members could even bring the disease home with them.
Members of Congress "are concerned, particularly older members and a number who have conditions that make them more susceptible," NBC News reports, quoting an unnamed person characterized as a Democrat congressional source
The fears are growing after reports that a person attending the recent Conservative Political Action Conference has been hospitalized with COVID-19.
Two lawmakers, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday they would self-quarantine at home. Both said they were in contact with that individual. Gosar said he was in "extended" contact with the person and Cruz saying he had a brief interaction. Both said they are having no symptoms, but were acting out of caution.

I’d bet money they do not go into a real recess.
Mitch and Chuck still want to block recess appointments.

The one place that could use a dose of Corona is the US congress. Anything to thin the heard.

Won’t be until after they pass a raft of expensive and wasteful boondoggles.
Paid sick leave mandated. Tax forgiveness for cruise lines and airlines. Bailouts of oil corporations.
All on the table

The ex-mayor of Chicago is hopeful that Trump’s rallies will be canceled because of the hyped-up media flu threat. Given that hope, Biden and Sanders are old men with underlying health problems, perhaps they should give up now.

What’s with this Democrat congressional source?
The frontline in this fight is nursing homes.
Those Democrat staffers need to start cleaning toilets at nursing homes.
Don’t be haughty, go clean a potty!

Self quarantine them in the Capitol Building. Maybe some work will get done.
