COLUMBIA, S.C. -- S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster’s wife, Peggy McMaster, was diagnosed with COVID-19 Friday morning, five days after the pair attended a White House Christmas party, according to a statement from the Governor’s Office.

Though his wife tested positive, the governor tested negative, according to the statement.

Peggy McMaster, 73, was tested for the virus Thursday afternoon and was not experiencing any coronavirus symptoms as of Friday.

“I’m happy to say that Peggy is feeling well, isn’t experiencing any symptoms at this time and is in good spirits,” Gov. McMaster, 73, said in a statement. “This shows us, once again, how contagious this virus truly is and how important it is that we follow the advice and recommendations of our public health officials. We are working closely with SCDHEC to ensure that we follow all of the recommended guidelines and that Peggy’s close contacts are notified.”

3. So?

Maybe you shouldn't be a throwing out sexist slurs like "cow" regardless of whether or not she's stupid...The poster did NOT seem to to be seeking "sympathy" for her

4. People keep going to that WH and getting infected.

You'd think they'd learn by now after all the super spreader events that have been held there.

That place is going to need industrial strength disinfectant once trump is out.

7. He has it, as well.

The local news is reporting that he is showing mild symptoms.

I'm surprised that it took this long. And, that they didn't catch it here, given how incompetent he has been in dealing with the situation.
