Virginia Senator Amanda Chase has COVID
This is according to a live tweeter from the State Senate. She is an opponent of vaccine requirements. Gosh, what bad luck.
I've not confirmed this elsewhere yet. I'll be looking for confirmation. This tweeter attends many Virginia government meetings and reports the activity.

Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Senator John Edwards says Senator Amanda Chase has Covid and will not be presenting her bills today. Hopefully she has the Ivermectin stocked up.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A bill championed by Senator Amanda Chase (R-Chesterfield) that would have protected doctors who prescribe hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to COVID-19 patients was rejected by a Virginia Senate Committee Thursday.
“A patient has a right to life,” Chase said. “And should not be prevented from life-saving — or, potentially life-saving — medication.”
Chase also mentioned several other drugs she wanted used to treat COVID-19 during her presentation, although the bill only applied to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
“Those should include, but not be limited to, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin C, vitamin D, melatonin, fluvoxamine, spironolactone and other medications,” Chase said.
