State Sen. Doug Ericksen, a stalwart conservative, former leader of Donald Trump’s campaign in Washington and an outspoken critic of COVID-19 emergency orders, died Friday. He was 52.
Ericksen had said last month that he tested positive for the coronavirus while on a trip to El Salvador, although his cause of death was not immediately confirmed on Saturday....
...Ericksen, a Republican from Ferndale, had been in El Salvador, where he tested positive for the virus that causes COVID. He wrote last month to his Republican colleagues asking if they could help him get treatment....
...A longtime foe of environmental regulations, Ericksen was chosen by Trump in 2017 to be part of a transition effort to reshape the Environmental Protection Agency. He split his time between Olympia and Washington, D.C., during that stretch...

We have friends who are NOT jabbed, that travel to/from Mexico and Bahamas. Negative tests are all that are required.

So did I! He probably was #1 on the list. Inslee is term limited. Open race in 2024.

Sorry the truth is so painful for you.

Covid is killing way more. So you pick your poison.
To: MinorityRepublican
If he was unvaccinated in addition to being a conservative the headlines would be screaming that. Ergo he must be vaccinated.

I would imagine he went to Florida so his family could be with him in the hospital. Here in Washington if you are lucky you can have one visitor at a time if they are vaccinated and test negative, and people can’t trade off. Unless you are actively dying, at which point SOME hospitals will allow family in (in our case two at a time) to briefly say goodby

Could very well be. Here in TX, two people can be with patient. No proof of $hot or test required.

Two of my class of 1980 classmates died this week of covid. Both unvaccinated.
Three weeks ago lost a 29 year old man in my town. His wife is 6 months pregnant
If this stuff all really happened, then you have my regrets. However, I can't help but be amazed that every once in a while we have someone get on here talking about the death and devastation that COVID has wrought upon his community, when I have been part of a community of thousands of supposedly high risk individuals (in terms of exposure) since this thing began and have NO such stories to tell.
In fact, I still don't know of a single person, on a personal level, who has died of COVID. I don't even know anyone who has had major illness from this crap. That's not to say that no one has in the entire world, but I am perplexed by the statistical anomaly.
But the addition of "His wife is 6 months pregnant" was quite poignant, I must say.

My guess is that he was unvaccinated. He rolled the dice and he wasn’t so lucky.
You actually believe the vax works? Amazing.

That may be, but he still rolled the dice and lost. You’re good at name calling but lousy at informed debate.

Thanks - from what I can gather she’s mostly already over it - had it for about a week.

Clearly the vax doesn’t prevent you from getting or spreading Covid. It does lessen your chances of getting severely sick and dying.
I roll the dice everyday and win win win. So much winning.
