Dozens of Mississippi lawmakers have coronavirus after weeks of refusing to wear masks

About one in six state lawmakers have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to Dr. Thomas Dobbs of the Mississippi Health Department. For weeks, politicians flouted mask recommendations inside the state Capitol. Twenty-six state legislators have now tested positive for Covid-19, including Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and State House Speaker Philip Gunn. Neither man wore a mask at a bill signing at the governor's mansion last week.

On the floor, desks are packed tightly together, and members gather closely to communicate with their colleagues. "We could have done more to prevent this," State Rep. Robert Johnson III, the Democratic leader of the state's House of Representatives, said in a statement to CNN. "It seems it was all about some erroneous, dangerously promoted political stance. It's disgusting.

What goes around comes around when ignorant red neck politicians want to ignore Doctors recommendation .their hands is like trumps hands

Well earned.

Is that the reason? I though masks didn’t prevent transmission inbound? Are any of them sick? Or just positive

How many are in the hospital? How many have died? That’s what matters. Not f*cking case numbers
