Last night, after taking a precautionary test before heading to Johnstown and Pittsburgh, I tested positive for COVID-19.

I’m experiencing some mild symptoms and will continue serving the people of Pennsylvania as I isolate at home.

I’ll be back on the campaign trail next week and I’m looking forward to kicking off the general election in Johnstown.

Please get out there and vote today — and after these few days at home, I’m going to go win this race for Pennsylvania.

This is how you deal with a candidate health issues. He Didn't wait even a day, and made an announcement. Didn't cancel appearance and freeze out the media. It's not hard to be this transparent.

1. The cases have been going up steadily here in PA

where the state has engaged in this and only update the stats once a week -



Voted by mail a couple weeks ago, got my 2nd Moderna booster last Thursday, and when I was at the pharmacy and supermarket this morning, I was masked up in a N95.

I hope he recovers quickly!!!!

2. Sorry that cases are going up.

Same is happening in VA. I never stopped masking at work and as soon as my clinic offers a booster I'll gett my fourth shot soon.

Like to see Democratic politicians do better that their GOP opponents.

4. We border 2 states where the transmission rates have been high

(NJ & NY) so the spillover was inevitable.

Shapiro was fortunate that he had no primary challenger so he could focus his resources on keeping the governorship in (D) hands.

The only thing holding this state back from a GOP Armageddon is Tom Wolf (D) and his veto pen. Otherwise we would be the next Oklahoma. So we need Shapiro to pick up where Wolf will leave off.

5. Our senate pro temp Louise Lucas been holding our GOP governor at bay.

So I know how you feel. Youngkin is such a POS, he still hasn't posted about the terrorist attack in buffalo. Lucas has been an absolute treasure.

3. Wow! How did this happen? I thought Covid was over because everyone is running around maskless

and going to superspreader events!

6. Respectably didn't hide it for the 3 final days of Mail in ballots, like others did

Cheering in support for your win today, Mr Shapiro.
Honesty is a rare quality & trust is everything.
Thanks 💙

7. So did anti-vaxxer Eric Clapton. Reportedly he's "anxious." As he ought to be.

8. If he's vaxed and boosted he'll be fine.
