Three Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The three lawmakers are among House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., earlier this week to stave off GOP priority voting bills during the special legislative session. The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness. On Friday night, one member tested positive for the coronavirus and immediately alerted colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests. On Saturday morning, two additional members tested positive after taking rapid

They must have been passing the Miller Light bottles around on their fun trip.

Will they all be quarantined along with all the House who they hung out with? If the House folks are sequestered that will put a damper on their infamy for a while. Maybe it will give them time to reflect and repent. Ha, ha!

Got the virus, huh? Nah. Unless it's fatal, I don't believe anything a Dem says. Even then, I'd have them checked for bullet holes.

I like the OP’s solution.
I think their diagnosis is “convenient” and possibly bogus.

Bust out the contact tracers and have Bidenites knock on their doors. Put them in isolation for 6 months or so to flatten the curve.

My first thought was false positives for these three and a distraction. My second thought was a distraction to justify masking the country again. All this mask theater is all about control of the country not about disease protection because the masks don't work. Masks all they are is a visible fear Iindicator.

The Kung Flu virus is very much like the common cold virus, genetically. (each is a novel corona virus)The test being used is not accurate in differentiating between the two viruses.
Therefore, it is likely that the test in question, which is not to be used for diagnostic purposes, measured a bit of the common cold, if even that, in the Texas trio of cowards.
When and if the full story of the Kung Flu pandemic is told, we will realize what a bunch of hokum we were told by Fauci and his gang.

Does no one understand that the Zombie Juice does not protect anyone from catching the Chinese virus. What it does do is theoretically reduce your symptoms when you do catch it. For some the jab is a lethal injection. For others it leads to other serious medical problems like sterility, heart inflammation, headaches, memory loss, blindness, and a host of other documented adverse reactions.
I hope they suffer severe adverse reactions or death.

More panic porn. Add this to the Red Sox. The cruise ship. The Navy. France. Britain. Australia. India. They think you are going to read all this and get vaccinated. I will wait and see if any of them die.

Does this, "three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness" even make sense?

So, do they have quorum if they die? I consider them nothing more or less my enemy than a Nazi.

It's a scam. If it came out of a Democrap's mouth it is a lie. Chances are this is some scheme to play for more time and delay the inevitable vote they are going to lose.
Quarantine them is some fleabag dive and feed them MREs and tap water for their 14 days. Most of these heifers will be begging to return to TX at the end of two weeks. When they get back, arrest them immediately and drag their lying arses back to the capitol and immediately hold the vote.
After they lose, strip every one of them of all their positions and perks.

If they were all vaccinated (like they claim) then Fauci has some more backpedaling to do about what a miracle these vaccines are.

They should be all quarantined, and publicly shamed and ridiculed.
The dd the same to all Republicans. They should be given a taste of their own medicine.

I find it amazing that this group can just leave their families for an extended amount of time on short notice. Now some can be quarantined for 2 weeks minimum probably outside their homes. Real helpful bunch of ingrates ! What scum.

If they REALLY tested positive for Covid, then everyone they were in contact with should be quarantined. Do you see any of that. NO. Otherwise Pelosi and gang would be in quarantine. Just another scam to delay voting in Tx.

Apparently they didn't heed the President's call for vaccination. Not only were they derelict in their duties, but they were endangering us all with their selfishness, refusing to get the jab. My grandmother is now in danger becasue of them...

FTA: The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated ... colleagues, who, in addition to staff members, took rapid tests
If the rapid tests are the nose swab, it is possible that they got a false positive. All have been fully vaccinated and none of them were showing symptoms.
