Published 1 min ago on May 27, 2020
By Matthew Chapman
On Wednesday, Pennsylvania GOP state Rep. Andrew Lewis announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 on May 20.
Out of respect for my family, and those who I may have exposed, I chose to keep my positive case private. Now that I have fully recovered and completed the quarantine as required by the Department of Health, said Lewis. I feel now is the appropriate time to share this information with the public and my constituents and I look forward to being a resource in sharing my experiences with COVID-19 and helping our community navigate this crisis together.
Some Democratic state lawmakers, however, are angry, because they were not informed about the positive test result when it happened.

it doesn't change them. I know a guy that thinks the hydroxy saved him because he took after being sick for 2 weeks. 5 days later, he was better and says drumpf 'saved' him. He probably isn't wearing a mask.

"I feel now is the appropriate time to share this ... I look forward to ... sharing my ... COVID-19".
I mean, that edit really is no worse than the real "Out of respect for my family, and those who I may have exposed, I chose to keep my positive case private."
