(231 posts)57. Ericksen asked colleagues to send him monoclonal antibodies
In an email sent to his GOP colleagues in the Seattle House and Senate on Thursday, Ericksen said he had a doctor who was willing to administer monoclonal antibodies but said the treatment was not available in the country, the Seattle Times reported.
"I took a trip to El Salvador and tested positive for COVID shortly after I arrived," he wrote, according to a copy of the email obtained by the Seattle Times. "I cannot get back home, and it's to the point that I feel it would be beneficial for me to receive an iv of monoclonal antibodies (Regeneron). I have a doctor here who can administer the iv, but the product is not available here."

"Do any of you have any ideas on how I could get the monoclonal antibodies sent to me here," Ericksen asked in his Thursday email, according to the Seattle Times. "Ideally, I would like to get it on a flight tonight so it would be here by tomorrow."
One GOP senator told the Seattle Times that lawmakers were "looking into it."
