WASHINGTON – The day before Sen. Mike Lee disclosed he had tested positive for COVID-19, the Utah Republican participated inmeeting that lasted about 90 minutes and was attended by 15 other senators.
If additional senators become ill and if they abide by federal quarantine guidelines, that could jeopardize the already-scrunched timeline for Barrett's confirmation. That means Lee could return to Senate business as early as Oct. 13, the day after the Barrett hearings begin and the first day she will be questioned by lawmakers. His return could be delayed if he becomes seriously ill.
Several of those in the room announced negative test results Friday and Saturday, but it can take a few days after exposure for a test to show infection. It can take up to 14 days before an infected person shows symptoms. Republicans could advance Barrett's nomination to the full Senate even if she receives an unfavorable vote in committee, according toA negative recommendation or no recommendation"permits a nomination to go forward, while alerting the Senate that a substantial number of committee members have reservations about the nomination," according to a CRS report on the Senate's judicial confirmation process.
If would be harder, she said, for Graham to blow off the rule that requires 12 of 22 senators to be “actually present” to vote on a nomination. If two Republican senators are too ill or too contagious to attend a committee meeting in person, the panel's vote could be delayed, she said.
Sounds like the plan all along. Don’t worry, Democrats, we have plenty of time left to get her confirmed.
All reporters suspected of being infected or have infected anyone in the WH need to be kicked out and investigated.
Why does it seem like they're being targeted. Who is testing the press pool? Are infected reporters spreading Covid around the WH?

They will vote by tele- vote. Is this Virus being spread deliberately⁉️
