BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley said Friday that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Massachusetts Democrat said that after experiencing symptoms, she received a positive, breakthrough positive COVID-19 test result Friday.

“Thankfully, my symptoms are relatively mild, and I am grateful to be fully vaccinated and boosted. I am currently isolating and following all health protocols in order to mitigate further spread and keep my loved ones and community safe,” Pressley said in a written statement.

Pressley said she was grateful for the scientists, researchers, and frontline health care workers who have worked to develop vaccines that are safe and effective.

“Vaccines save lives,” she added. “I encourage everyone to do their part by getting vaccinated, boosted and masking up.”

1. Be well, Representative.

I haven't heard any updates on the now many in Congress that are positive, but (at least DEMS) highly vaccinated. I wish them well.

2. I suspect that many of the GOPers aren't testing at all.

If they are experiencing symptoms without being sick enough to be hospitalized, they're attributing them to colds or flu, and are hanging out with other people, maskless, anyhow.

3. I know several Republicans who are triple vaxed and wear masks. Not

all Republicans think alike.

4. I am referring to GOP members of Congress, many of whom seem dedicated to

performative covid denial. I am sure there are nonpolitical Republicans who don't feel compelled to be publicly stupid.
