So many GOP members of Congress laughed & mocked Rep. @LisaBRochester for her trying to hand out masks to GOP members while in lockdown during the MAGA terrorist attack on the Capitol. Such a crowded dense room—no masks. So dangerous for others. #COVID19

2) this is why I’m so worried about the riots being such a mass superspreading event. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1347237031815086082

4) I also spy a conspiracy crazy unmasked member of Congress @RepScottPerry who once claimed ISIS was likely behind the Vegas shooting. Can’t make this stuff up.

Scott Perry is the Steve King of Pennsylvania.

But w/ added contagiousness of B117 variant that has ~60% higher R, in 2 weeks, we’d have 3000 new cases/day instead—3x!

7) We cannot let irresponsible people or members of Congress carry on so dangerously. UK has effectively lost control, with a top group saying “pandemic is out of control now”. This will be us soon. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1346064285978521605
