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.

Did Velazquez get it from Iran?...................
I doubt the virus could infect her! To high of an alcohol content.
“I developed the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset.
“Presumed” and “diagnosed” mean two completely different things.
Something ironic in this.....
Yeah, I'll self-censor on this one too.
Nancy going to be speed dialing for Trump Pills
They will blame this on Massie for “making” them come back to work.
They will take no blame for not keeping 6-foot distance, or for having masks like any idiot should at this point if they can get them. (Not n95 masks, just regular surgical masks would do for this).
I don’t wish it on anyone.
To late it was in your mind
Good for you
Never stand near a women with an Eddie Muster haircut, nothing good can happen.
Maybe “presumed” is the term used while the test is being conducted and results analyzed.
Thanks! I just had homemade split pea soup with a big ole hambone for lunch.
“diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection,”
It isn’t “presumed”. You either have it or you don’t.
“Would it be wrong of me to hope Pelosi gets it?”
Hope hell..I have a voodoo doll covered with stuff!
Well...this is a news story. And now I’ve commented on it.
“I wonder if Pelosi is immune...:
Can reptiles get it?
