Rep-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) got the coronavirus and his conditions worsen. |
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
END SARS NOW!
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Rep-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) is in the intensive care unit. His campaign has confirmed he has the coronavirus and it's taken a turn for the worse. The 41-year old father of two is a staunch supporter of President Donald J. Trump.
I guess his “love for Trump” put him in the hospital.
The Congressman-elect won his seat in Louisiana and will join the Freshman class ilin January if he does survive this.
He tested positive for the coronavirus on Monday and was hospitalized since. He was transferred to the ICU at LSU Health in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Letlow is being treated with remdesivir and steroids.
Letlow has a wife and two young children. |
He lives in Stuart and will be the representative of the 5th Congressional District.
If he dies, Gov. John Bel Edwards will have to issue a special election to fill the term.
There will be another primary and special election. If the candidates don’t reach 50.9% of the vote, they issue a special run off and it will have the two highest leading candidates.
The 5th Congressional District went to Trump by 40 points.
Here's the map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
Rep-elect Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will likely be the next person to catch it. She refuses to wear masks in public. She is a Q'Anon supporter and white nationalist. |
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you notice someone or you having signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this. There are companies working on producing a vaccine. They will produce a vaccine that is safe and effective before usage. See 19.
Rep-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is a controversial figure who doesn't support the mandates set by Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC. |
20. Hold your state and federal lawmakers accountable for not taking the threat seriously. Donald J. Trump deliberately ignored the threat. In a series of audiotapes produced by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, Trump was warned about the threat from the jump. He downplayed it because he didn't want to lose the trade deal and force Americans to take precautions. Now six months since declaring the pandemic we have over 250,000 dead and over 9 million infected. Republican lawmakers are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and end the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act because of their stupid principles. It's important that you get go out and vote.
21. THE MASK DOESN'T IMPALE BREATHING! YOU CAN FUCKING BREATHE THROUGH A MASK! THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A MASK BEING A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THOSE WEARING THEM PROPERLY. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE MASK ABOVE YOUR NOSE AND COVER COMPLETELY YOUR CHIN.
22. YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID! MISINFORMATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO A PANDEMIC.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
