March 23 (UPI) -- Sen. Bob Casey announced he has contracted COVID-19, becoming the latest U.S. congressman to fall sick to the pandemic.
The Democratic senator for Pennsylvania said he tested positive with a breakthrough case on Tuesday afternoon, meaning he is vaccinated against the illness but still became infected with COVID-19.
"I am grateful to be asymptomatic but, per [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance, I will isolate for five days," he tweeted. "This is reminder that the pandemic is not over. Please get vaccinated and boosted."
Casey's admission came hours after former secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announced she'd tested positive for the virus and on the same day that White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she had contracted COVID-19 for the second time in five months.
At least 155 members of Congress have tested positive for the virus, according to govtrack.us, which has been tallying the number of House representatives and Senators who fallen sick to the infection.
There has only been one death among the politicians, that of Rep. Ron Wright of Texas who died in February of last year.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
It is looking a little ‘funny’, by November every D congressman will have covid.
Get vaccinated and boosted, lol!
Please get vaccinated and boosted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why?
It obviously doesn’t work.
Asymptomatic always seemed to me like - my body says I’m fine but some sometimes reliable/sometimes not test says otherwise.
— Please get vaccinated and boosted.” —
These VAX people are insane.
So what
Funny, all these people announcing they got covid have the same thing in common, all are triple vaccinated.
They are also announcing that the Jabs don’t work!
Running rampant amongst the democommie ranks. Awwwww. But, lockdowns vax mandates again?
Funny how the Republicans were hit with the deadly, most hard hitting c19 while the dems get the designer, mild version that amounts to nothing more than a false positive.
Give them all a soccer ball to kick around. It’s medically significant.
“.... all are triple vaccinated.”
I believe they have access to Ivermectin or HCQ and use it, when necessary, not vaxx’ed. IMHO.
So when Clarence Thomas caught it, it was a subtle reminder that blacks and women on the highest court were really nothing new. That a nominee finally “intersected” those two traits was the only thing “new.”
Now that Obama, Psaki, Clinton, and Casey have the ‘rona, too, Thomas’ reminder is pushed out of people’s minds—and replaced with the glaring reminders that vaxxes are ineffective or perhaps never taken.
They seem confused as to whether he is a Congressman or a Senator.
But, yes, strange indeed that the virus now strikes Democrats only, seemingly. But yes, nothing to see here. /sarcasm 🙂
Yes, because it worked so well for you. Right Bob?
What a fckn moron.
“This is reminder that the pandemic is not over. Please get vaccinated and boosted.”
Seriously, apart from the social signalling, why?
Keeping fear alive. —And don’t forget that weekly vaccination is why the symptoms are mild.
The only time anyone ever hears about this guy is around election time. He’s not due for re-election this year, so this will probably be the biggest accomplishment he’ll have until his next run.
