Three Texas House Democrats have tested positive for COVID-19 from Washington, D.C., according to Texas House Democratic Caucus leadership.
They’re among nearly 60 lawmakers who fled the state Monday to break quorum in the House, part of an effort to block the passage of a GOP-led elections bill. Most members are staying in the same hotel.
One member found out about their positive test result late Friday evening, but they do not have symptoms, caucus officials said. All House lawmakers were alerted and received a rapid test following the member’s positive result.
Two additional members tested positive in a rapid test on Saturday morning. One has mild symptoms, caucus leadership said.
The three who tested positive on the rapid tests will receive a PCR coronavirus test, a more sensitive and accurate version of a COVID-19 test. The positive members will isolate for 10 days before taking a follow-up test, according to a memo obtained by the American-Statesman.
The three members are vaccinated. The caucus did not release their names.
Why were the names kept secret?

“Why were the names kept secret?”
…seriously. When my wife tested positive, they couldn’t WAIT to notify the Board of Health, who delighted in blowing ME up to my employer as “COVID Adjacent” or some shit just to make SURE I couldn’t go to work, and they all but burned my toolbox when THEY found out, which was the standard response at the time…
“Fleebaggers”. 👍🏻😂
…BTW, these Snakes on a Plane are sitting REAL close together with NO MASKS ON, so you need to quarantine the LOT of them, the pilots, whatever flight attendants, the airport, anyone who flew in the plane after, and anyone who knew anyone in the ground crew, and better burn the jet for good measure…

“Instant Karma’s gonna get you…”
Or is this just a ploy to keep them in DC for 2 weeks under “quarantine “, to avoid backlash for not returning to Texas?
Just spitballin’
…and, if they had no symptoms, why did they get tested?
Covid karma is a bitch
Ooops sorry, I mean covid karma is a K9 birthing mannel. LMAO
Super spreaders!
It’s nothing but a tactic…..They’re just buying time to make a plan.
Now all we need them to do is to die on live TV as they grasp for air.
WHAT?! They’re vaccinated, but they still have it and can still spread it to others?! Why, it’s almost as if these aren’t vaccines at all! [/sarc]
TRUMP WON!
Wait…I was told that unvaccinated Republicans were driving this latest covid holocaust. Not so?
Also, I saw a photo of the snakes on a plane, captioned “Delta variant is ready when you are” lolol
In other news, two road kill raccoons, a push broom, and fourteen thousand gas pump valve handles tested positive for Covid 19 (the death monger).
Are you scared yet? You need to be scared. If you’re not scared, we’re going to come out with a new, more transmissible variant. Wait…. we did that already. Fuck! Mask up! Now! You’re all going to die!
No question in my mind but that Trump is to blame for these covid cases.

Your perception on the Democrat perps warrants deeper investigation.
Well,masks don’t keep out viruses!
Did you all get that part “already got the jab twice” and they still tested positive for covid. No one has to tell anyone don’t get the jab, this episode from the DemoncRATS tells people you aren’t safe getting the jab. Get the jab meet the slab.
They need to verify these three had been fully vaccinated and not just gotten a placebo. And also what manufacturer produced the vaccine so others can sort out the effective ones from the ineffective ones. Seems they should be settled in on which one might actually work.
Wow, what a shame! Only three?
Mrs. Manderin and I just heard that on the telly and we laughed our asses off. LMAO!
They’re not releasing the names because the public mockery would be BIBLICAL so they’re protecting these three super spreaders. But don’t worry. We’ll all know soon enough. Tehehehehehehehe…
They aren’t releasing the names, so that at any given time, any give democrat can claim to be one of the covid cases, or one of the uninfected, whichever best suits their agenda. It’s like a shell game. it’s all bullshit.
Get this. Foo Fighters, I mean Foo Pussies, just canceled a big gig because of ONE COVID CASE within their “team.” Personally, I think they’re so out of tune after being offstage for so long that they’re using COVID as a lame ass excuse to get in some more rehearsal time.
