By Katherine Fung On 1/11/21 at 2:21 PM EST


Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey became the first Congress member to test positive for the coronavirus following last week's lockdown during the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The congresswoman's office said she believed "she was exposed during protective isolation in the U.S. Capitol as a result of insurrectionist riots" and announced she received a positive rapid antigen test result for the virus in a statement made Monday.

"Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test," Watson Coleman tweeted. "I have tested positive."

1. Yeah I wouldn't necessarily trust those.

Hopefully she gets a PCR test to confirm.

2. I have been as angry at those repuke congress people who refused to wear masks

during the insurrection as I have been at the invaders themselves.

3. Hopefully it's an asymptomatic false positive,

which is very common with that type of test. I have seen this many times myself.


That aside - screw the maskholes.
