Punchbowl News: House lawmaker: "There's a severe covid outbreak coming among members. At the secure location yesterday at least 50 GOP members refused to wear masks. They were asked repeatedly. Older dem members pleaded. And they wouldn't do it."

1. I'm wondering if they were exposed earlier?

The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to extend to 14 days, with a median time of 4-5 days from exposure to symptoms onset. One study reported that 97.5% of people with COVID-19 who have symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of SARS-CoV-2 infection.Dec 8, 2020

14. It hasn't happened yet. Its "coming" because the new Congress anti-maskers refused to mask

Exposing the rest who were crammed into the secure location with them

[Mariana]

2. Pelosi should name the members who refused to wear masks. nt.

[riversedge]

8. I agree. It might shame some--but also it might make heros out of some.

[C_U_L8R]

3. No mask. No security.

Those maskless shitheads should have been ejected.

[DeeDeeNY]

18. Of course they should be ejected

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. How could anyone reasonably argue with that.

Especially as they & their comrades are responsible for the insurrection endangering their fellow congress members

4. I was worried about Nancy today

She seemed out of breath during her press conference.

[Wawannabe]

9. She has had no sleep

Said so herself.

She was very put together for that type of stress and sleeplessness. Proud of her!

[JudyM]

24. So true, she looked remarkable. She's keeping a lot pulled together on many fronts.

[GopherGal]

29. I noticed she appeared to be standing all during the electoral vote tally

and it occurred to me that seemed a long time to stand for an 80-year-old woman.
I didn't see, but wouldn't be surprised to learn she was in heels the whole time.

[KentuckyWoman]

27. She has been running out of air.

I am about her age and struggle with words in a mask also. I don't know why. I am fine just sitting but if I so much as stand it takes no time for me to breathe heavy.

I didn't notice it. A neice did. Seems like Madame Speaker has the same trouble.

[jmbar2]

28. I didn't think of the age thing

I'm noticing the same when I go on walks that used to be easy. After awhile it gets better. Guess I need to exercise even more!

[lutherj]

5. If anyone gets COVID the deniers should be expelled and prosecuted.

The MAGA terrorists should also be prosecuted.

[Saboburns]

6. Manslaughter charges if anybody dies

I know you probably cant convict the rat bastards. But that don't mean you shouldn't at least charge them.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

7. I'll think of the potential opportunity to replace

them, hopefully with Democrats in a special election or two.

[lunasun]

10. It was not safe due to gop maskholes At least one rep left

12. Haven't they all been vaccinated by now?

I know you don't get full immunity until the second shot but I would think even the first one would be some protection?

[iluvtennis]

11. Stupid, ignorant GOP still haven't learned to trust science.

[yaesu]

13. so, if any of us pulled this at work we would be fired, immediately. nt

[certainot]

15. the way to end this is to boycott the crap out of hater radio - the only unique advantage the GOP

has - because dems ignore it. and many of those reps have podcast trails and interviews on those stations and are heavily dependent on them to get reelected. except for deep red areas those stations are very susceptible to boycotting.

[Tommymac]

16. Hear Hear.

This is spot on.

AM radio is the secret weapon of White Supremacy and Hate.

[debsy]

17. Were they part of the objectioners?

If so, what if they all knew this was going to happen and are trying to make people sick?

[dhol82]

19. Bastards!

[mountain grammy]

20. Fuckers

[BainsBane]

21. I just hope they don't take the Democrats with them

but everyone of the anti-maskers deserves what they get.

[erronis]

22. No mask? No healthcare support. Simple.

We need a registry of idiots who won't follow good practices. Photos should be adequate nowadays with image recognition software.

Show up at a hospital with symptoms and on that registry? Go home and die.

23. i heard dem rep susan wild from pa on the phone

talking to one of the anchors i was watching (on either cbs, abc, or nbc) and she was talking about this--hundreds being shut in a crowded room and so many of the gop refusing to put on fucking masks. she is fearful of what is to come. the anchor asked if congress got covid testing everyday and wild said no--it's not mandatory but the testing is there is someone wants it. she said this is going to be a superspreader event!

i just googled and here is a link to cbs

26. And they were packed in like sardines. Maybe the republucans are trying

to flip the House. by getting some older congress critters 6 feet under.
