Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Tuesday that she tested positive for COVID-19.
Lightfoot said on Twitter that she received the positive test early Tuesday and will continue to work from home while following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for isolation.
"I am experiencing cold-like symptoms but otherwise feel fine which I credit to being vaccinated and boosted," she said.
Lightfoot also called on other Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"This is an urgent reminder for folks to get vaccinated and boosted as it's the only way to beat this pandemic," she said.
Approximately 12 people in the mayor's office have tested positive for COVID-19, including four mayoral employees who tested positive after a December holiday party, WGN reported.
Lightfoot did not provide details on whether anyone in her family had tested positive.
The mayor appeared publicly Monday night as she announced a tentative deal between Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union to allow students to return to classes Wednesday after tense negotiations over whether teachers should return to remote learning due to the presence of the Omicron variant.
It’s the OMG Con variant, deary.
Cory Booker, AOC, Liz Warren and now Lightfoot say “thank goodness although I had 2 shots and the booster, too and still got Covid it means I will probably have a really mild case.”
All are pushing that malarkey.
Has she or is she pandering with a fake diagnosis?
Like AOC, Lightfoot is not elderly or coping with lung, heart, kidney, uncontrolled diabetes or or other comorbidities. So she will probably be fine soon.
With or without those shots.
Well, another sexy dem that the virus just couldn’t resist.
Funny, her being vaccinated and boosted rendered her the same cold symptoms as the unvaccinated.
Thanks to no vaccine?
I wish a speedy recovery to Mayor Cryptkeeper.
You mean Mayor Beetlejuice =)
Let me know when she is hospitalized and on a ventilator. All these âcasesâ with maybe a sniffle or a cough, or completely asymptomatic, are meaningless political kabuki theater, based on a test that is highly inaccurate with many false positives..
On the ther hand, , If she REALLY has Covid, I feel sorry for the disease, being trapped inside that creature.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving moron.
BTW, not really related, but she could sell advertising space on that giant forehead dome of hers.
Will the COVID be okay?
Every single person will have Covid eventually. Accept it. Move on.
“Well, another sexy dem that the virus just couldnât resist”.
Lol!
And I’d bet that’s not the only thing she’s tested positive for.
Mayor Beetlejuice? Dang white supremists! Howâd they do that?
Gee...I hope it doesn’t affect her good nature or her complexion.
That works too.
COVID-19 contracts the Groot.
