CHICAGO — Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. and his wife, Jacqueline Jackson have both tested positive for COVID-19 and are hospitalized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to a statement from Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

The statement read that doctors are currently monitoring their condition and that there are no further updates or information available.

Rainbow PUSH advises anyone who has had contact with either of them for the last five to six days to follow CDC guidelines and to isolate from others.

At the Rainbow Push website it says he's vaccinated. Got his first shot back in January. He wrote a post about it.

[Hekate]

14. Thanks, Joan. Very worrisome news.

[JoanofArgh]

15. Yes, it is. He got his vaccine at the beginning of the year. Because of his age , I worry about his

immunity.

18. The Regeneron....

It is amazing.....10 day window is the key....Hospitalized.....there are other meds as well...in addition to the Regeneron....it may be a rough week for them...but recovery is promising.

10. Hoping they recover without complications.

Sigh...

[NH Ethylene]

13. I hope they fare well.

It seems celebrities are hospitalized even when they are only mildly sick, so I am hoping for the best.

[JoanofArgh]

16. This is true. They might be getting Regeneron because of their age.

[FarPoint]

20. Great clinical intervention for moderate to severe covid-19...

I have seen good things happen with this....being vaccinated sure does help.

[SunSeeker]

32. Yes, you must receive Regeneron at a hospital or clinic since it's administered intravenously.

It takes several hours to get a dose in you using an IV drip. Then you have to be monitored for any bad reactions.

[Grasswire2]

17. I wonder if they were at Obama's party.

Likely not, as Jesse is frail with Parkinson's despite his recent participation in a protest somewhere.

I was at Jesse's fiftieth birthday party in D.C. Seems like yesterday. He kissed my hand.

[sheshe2]

19. Healing thoughts to them both.

[KatK]

21. Prayers. n/t

[crickets]

22. Oh, no. I hope they both recover quickly. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. That's terrible

I wish him and his wife a speedy recovery.

[mountain grammy]

24. just saw a picture of him out and about a week or so ago

I'm sure he's vaccinated. Hope they recover soon.

[whathehell]

25. I'm sorry to hear this..

I hope he'll be ok.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Oh no!

He'll be 80 this year and has been having health issues recently.

It is difficult for people who are "public figures" who either need to or have to or always want to be "out in public". It just makes you that much more vulnerable to this nasty variant.

I hope he can recover quickly and that the vaccine had he and his wife primed.

[wendyb-NC]

27. I pray they will fully recover

My heart goes out to them, and their loved ones.

Rev. Jackson was vaccinated in January 2021 and he has encouraged others to do the same. The two are being currently treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
