Katie Porter tests NEGATIVE for COVID-19



Rep. Katie Porter ✔@RepKatiePorter

My COVID-19 test came back negative, which is a relief. I am still staying home, because I have symptoms and need to recover; this means I will not be able to travel to Washington, DC to vote.

Rep. Katie Porter ✔@RepKatiePorter

I support the CARES Act, a relief package that will bring critical resources to help families and small businesses in our community. I will be providing more information about this bill to you and will continue to work with our community and my colleagues to address the pandemic.

"She was given the option to be admitted to the hospital — where testing might be more likely — but after discussing the situation with a few health care staffers, she decided it would be better to self-isolate at home."

We desperately need her to be well. She is one of the very best advocates we have in Washington.

Hope she is one of the two not primary candidates in the running for VP selection.

Or Katie 2028.

Not everyone with mild covid-19 like symptoms has it.
See https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/nrevss/index.html for a list of viruses in circulation including other coronaviruses.

Great news. We need her.

I hadn't heard about Sen. Klobuchar's husband either until this thread. Another great piece of news that he's recovering so well.

Please get well soon, both!
