Thank you!

Abbot was fully vaccinated and likely will recover quickly. No telling how long he has been shedding the virus and potentially infecting others, especially the unvaccinated.
Government officials are probably getting tested.

You have no idea how relieved we were after the first one got it and walked out of the hospital in under a week.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s awful. Im glad your other family members were eligible for the treatment.

He’s Governor. Nuff said.

As I understand it, it’s an IV treatment. Most folk don’t have access to IV treatments at home and those with no symptoms are not admitted to hospitals.

This sob also got the expensive regeneron monoclonal antibody treatment that we as normal folks wouldn't be able to get.

He’s in his 70s and is paralyzed from the waste down. Plus he is the governor so of course he will get great medical care.
