Rep. Velázquez diagnosed with ‘presumed coronavirus infection’

[ROLLCALL] Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez announced Monday that she has been diagnosed with a "presumed coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
infection," just three days after the New York Democrat joined scores of House politicians for a vote on the $2 trillion stimulus package and a signing ceremony with top leaders.

Velázquez said she first started feeling sick "in the wee hours of Sunday morning."

"I developed the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset. I noticed that I could no longer smell my perfume or taste my food. After speaking with The Attending Physician by phone, I was diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection," she said in a statement.

Velázquez was one of the more than 200 House politicians who rushed back to Washington to vote on the coronavirus package after Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie said he planned to try to force a recorded vote on the bill. A quorum of more than 216 members convened in the House chamber to defeat Massie’s opposition and pass the bill.

#3 I noticed that I could no longer smell my perfume or taste my food.

This seems to be a common symptom of Chinese virus disease.

It is disturbing because the virus apparently has some affinity for nerve cells. Perhaps the olfactory nerves serve as a gateway for the infection in cases of Chinese corona encephalitis.
