Washington State lawmaker ill with COVID in El Salvador now in Florida
State Sen. Doug Ericksen of Ferndale who was sickened with COVID-19 in El Salvador is now in stable condition at a Florida hospital after a medevac flight, according to a former state lawmaker.
Luanne Van Werven, who served with Ericksen in the Legislature from 2014 to 2020, told The Bellingham Herald Friday that Ericksen is definitely on the road to recovery.
Ericksen, a Republican who represents the 42nd District in Whatcom County, wrote to his legislative colleagues last week that he tested positive for COVID-19 in El Salvador and needed monoclonal antibodies, the same Regeneron treatment that former President Trump received in 2020.
It was obviously serious when he was back in El Salvador, but hes definitely on the mend, Van Werven, of Lynden, told the newspaper, saying he was in a hospital in Fort Lauderdale.

He should give Ron Desantis a big kiss. After all he's a fellow Republican.
