US lawmakers may have been exposed to someone with coronavirus while in lockdown during last week's riot, the Capitol's attending physician warns

"On Wednesday January 6, many members of the House community were in protective isolation in room located in a large committee hearing space. The time in this room was several hours for some and briefer for others. During this time, individuals may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection," Dr. Brian P. Monahan wrote.Read More

In the memo, Monahan instructed lawmakers and staff to monitor for possible Covid-19 symptoms and to be tested for Covid-19 as a precaution.The risk of an outbreak comes as Congress has faced dozens of members from both chambers contracting Covid-19 since the pandemic began. Members of Congress have been prioritized for inoculation in an effort to maintain governmental continuity on Capitol Hill, and a number of lawmakers have received a Covid-19 vaccine.

Seems to me someone's demagoguery works little bit however that someone is considered coward of the country thru hundreds of years long

Omg. Everyone hide and panic. sarcasm

Yea all them people defaced a monument. They don't represent a peaceful protest. They acted like children and deserve what they get. They knew trumps law!

cnn真有趣,标题还弄出个南越国旗的图片。说起来民国国旗,越南共和国国旗放进图片里谴责的是这次是白人种族主义者么。我记得约翰逊是民主党的吧,虽然德州如今是共和党州了

Oh...horrors of horrors....argghhhh! What are we going to do now? Hmm. I think not live in FEAR.

Good hope they all --- especially Pelosi, Schumer, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Graham Lindsay

“Behold the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intentions of his mind. In the latter days you will understand this.”

That’s a risk everyone is exposed to.

It’s a good thing they all got the vaccine ahead of everyone else right.. lol

It looked like a Carnival for Morons! Degenerated them back to monkeys, apes and baboons🐒🦍, even🦖to ransack our Capital. These evolution-backward crazy, violent primates thought they've taken back a zoo, so they're celebrating! They forgot the whole world was watching👁️👀

If it was in lockdown then another lawmaker gave it to them so whats you point

GOP Trumper most likely

White America seems to be losing its grip. Their privilege has become costly!

Y’all. Blk ppl being repeatedly expected to save a nation that continually devalues our lives is not something to celebrate. This whole situation is sick. The man just elected prez b/c of Blk voters is focused on preserving the ppl who tried to overthrow our vote. It’s not ok.

From this point in time on, if you see somebody wearing a pro Trump Hat or any way showing respect to Trump take a picture of them, remember them, because they hate America

And what about the people exposed to the Trump virus? Is there a vacine?

I’m glad to hear it because they let infected people come in to vote for Nancy Pelosi so they all deserve the virus

I am a person who has lived in poverty for years with my family. I took the pirogue twice for an immigrant and I almost died I have always fought for them. Please help me realize my dream and finance my transport project in my country please😢😢please please😞

Well it was full of Republicans even at that moment refusing to wear masks.

The whole building is infected.

bcrrodriguez On purpose I’m sure.

Not may, but probably.

I can't wait to find out what is on all the stolen laptops from the capital!!!!!!!!

Fuck, I’d be more worried about rabies

The best thing about Biden winning legally is now you all know Sleazy Obama only won 2 elections because China Joe was on the ticket. I mean he really kicked sleazy Obama's ass by 13 million votes!!!!!!

Is this the Onion report?

…they employed biological weapons as well…!

How? Because Pelosi forced a covid positive house member to be there

Or it could be another lie to try to stop an impeachment...I DO NOT trust any GOP politician and I was only part-way believing ANY political person as it was~!

I watched the video of th GOP senators on lockdown smiling and refusing masks. They are despicable.

Rofl now all politicians are really FEELING the power of The People. Maybe next time BLM protests they follow suit and protest the way The American Nazis did it , not burn down our neighbors and neighborhoods.

Because the attack wasn’t bad enough.
