RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel Tests for Coronavirus and Self-Quarantines After Showing Symptoms

Source: The Daily Beast



Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has self-quarantined and is awaiting the results of a coronavirus test after exhibiting a fever and flu-like symptoms. In a statement on Saturday, the RNC said the chairwoman had been tested for coronavirus following a hospital visit on Friday, where she was tested for the flu and strep throat. Both tests came back negative. Saturday’s statement said McDaniel was self-quarantining at home with family members while she awaits the results of the test.

I just wish that the party that she is the chairperson of would support good health care for the American people, which they do not do now.

There would be empty store shelves, canceled events, widespread panic, and government restrictions on travel if we had socialism.
