Utah Congressman Ben McAdams says he tested positive for COVID-19

United States Rep. Ben McAdams, R-Utah, said he tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday after developing “mild cold-like symptoms” over the weekend.

In a written statement, the 4th District representative said he returned to Utah from Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening and consulted with a doctor on Sunday. McAdams said he “immediately isolated” himself in his home and conducted all meetings by telephone.

“My symptoms got worse and I developed a fever, a dry cough and labored breathing and I remained self-quarantined,” McAdams said in the statement.

On Tuesday, McAdams’ doctor instructed him to get tested for COVID-19.

“Today I learned that I tested positive,” McAdams said.

The congressman urged Utahns to follow health recommendations and said he would continue “pursuing efforts to get Utahns the resources they need.”

I saw on FoxNews that Florida Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart tested positive today. Interesting

A Republican, of course.

I understand that the Coronavirus doesn’t favor one political party over the other.

But, it seems the likes of Maxine Waters could walk through Chernobyl in a bikini and emerge unscathed.

On cue, Rep. Mucarsel-Powell says remote voting should be reconsidered. Pelosi rejected the idea a couple weeks ago when Rep. Swalwell pressed for it in a closed caucus.

The article has a typo. Ben McAdams, R-Utah should be Ben McAdams, D-Utah

.... Maxine Waters could walk through Chernobyl in a bikini....

Now, the thought of Mad Maxine in a bikini is scarier than the thought of a Chernobyl on Bikini Atoll.
