Quote
(CNN)Georgia Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler has tested positive for Covid-19, her campaign announced.

Loeffler tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday, but a subsequent test came back as inconclusive on Saturday evening, according to campaign spokesperson Stephen Lawson.
Loeffler was maskless with Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. David Perdue during campaign events most of the day Friday. The trio rode on a bus from the airport to two campaign events for Georgia Senate seat runoff elections in January.

"Senator Loeffler took two COVID tests on Friday morning. Her rapid test results were negative and she was cleared to attend Friday's events. She was informed later in the evening after public events on Friday that her PCR test came back positive, but she was retested Saturday morning after conferring with medical officials and those results came back inconclusive on Saturday evening," said Lawson.

"She has no symptoms and she will continue to follow CDC guidelines by quarantining until retesting is conclusive and an update will be provided at that time," Lawson said.
The campaign official added that Loeffler is notifying those with whom she had direct contact with while she awaits further tests.

"Senator Loeffler is in my thoughts. I pray that her test results come back negative and that she is back on the campaign trail soon. Blessings," said Rev. Raphael Warnock, her Democratic opponent in the upcoming runoff.

The number of GOP senators who have acknowledged Joe Biden's victory will never exceed the number of GOP senators who have contracted COVID-19 at this rate.

Yet another example of Kelly Loeffler imitating Donald Trump.

It's quite telling all lawmakers contracting Covid are Republicans.

Ouch

I hope she recovers soon. She deserves to be destroyed by Warnock in a debate or on the campaign trail, not to be destroyed by the virus.

Everyone who I know who's getting it is either elderly and in assisted living/hospital or conservatives that acted like it's nothing took no precautions. Not surprising at all.

Many Republican officials are carriers of a deadly plague wreaking destruction on America. And a lot of them are getting COVID-19, too.

A little over a week ago (on Friday the 13th) Loeffler appeared with David Perdue and Rick Scott at a campaign event here, a few days before Scott tested positive.  Since then she's also appeared with Tom Cotton and Mike Pence.

Most, but not all. Democratic Representatives Cheri Bustos and Ed Perlmutter among those who contracted coronavirus within the last few weeks. But it is true that no Democratic Senators have contracted the virus up to this point.

She's 49; she'll be fine.

Actually, Kaine & Casey both have antibodies, so they contracted it, but without ever testing positive in the meantime.

Because they are smart enough not to waste their lives worrying about something that doesn't remotely matter?

"COVID doesn't remotely matter" is an atrocious take. Just wow. Do you really believe that? I have a lot of policy and ideological disagreements with you, but IMO you're an intelligent poster.

People like you should be denied hospital treatment this winter no matter what.
Seriously this sentiment is causing the current problem.
The ICUs in my area are literally filling up but it doesn’t matter because the voices in your head and your orange idol told you so?
Get a grip.
