GOP Lawmaker Tested COVID Positive Twice That Didnt Stop Him From Going to Work in the Statehouse, Even MasklessRepublican state Representative Stephen Hambley last month tested positive for the deadly coronavirus. Twice. Ignoring state and federal guidelines, he went back to work after just a few days. He reportedly has never received a negative test since his positive tests November 22 and 28.
Democrats say he never informed them of his positive status (he claims he did), as he continued his duties, including sitting on committees, and even voting to restrict the ability of the Ohio Department of Health to issue quarantine and isolation orders related to the pandemic, as the Ohio Capitol Journals Jake Zuckerman reports.
Now, at least four lawmakers two Republicans and two Democrats, have tested positive for COVID-19, after spending time alongside Hambley at a House Finance Committee hearing on December 2.
Its not just those four lawmakers who are sick.
A Democratic spokesperson says nine Democratic lawmakers in total are either sick or awaiting coronavirus test results. The Republican spokeswoman has not answered questions about any other Republicans.

They really believe that will solve the problem. Whenever some idiot says he is a 'herd immunity guy' I let him have it. "Destroy YOUR family, don't try to destroy mine."
