Rep. Nydia Velazquez said Monday she's been "diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection," three days after she spoke on the House floor and stood near 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the signing of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill.

In a statement, the Democrat from New York said she first started feeling sick "in the wee hours of Sunday morning."

"I developed the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset. I noticed that I could no longer smell my perfume or taste my food. After speaking with The Attending Physician by phone, I was diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection," said Velazquez, 67.

Velazquez tweeted Friday that was she was "back in DC as we prepare to pass the #coronavirus stimulus package." "There are reports one GOP Member may delay this bill, but make no mistake, we WILL pass this bill for families, workers & small businesses," she said then.

Her office had no immediate comment.

Photos from the signing ceremony show her standing behind Pelosi at the bill signing, and later chatting in close quarters with Pelosi and Rep. Maxine Waters.

Would it be wrong of me to hope Pelosi gets it?

I wonder if Pelosi is immune and protected by her mentor and leader. Last three digits of her Social Security number are 666.
