EDIT: Klobuchar says husband hospitalized with coronavirus

The former Democratic presidential candidate said in a statement that Bessler began feeling sick when she was in Minnesota and he was in Washington, D.C., and that he immediately quarantined himself. She said he sought a test and chest X-ray after he began coughing up blood, and was checked into a Virginia hospital with “very low oxygen levels, which really haven’t improved.”

She said he now has pneumonia and is on oxygen but not a ventilator. Klobuchar said her doctor had advised her not to get a test.

“One of the hardest things about this disease is he’s in the hospital today, he’s been in there for a few days, and I can’t even be by his side,” Klobuchar said during a teleconference to discuss legislation Monday.

1. Damn

Her most likely successor's (Peggy Flanagan) brother died yesterday also.
Last I heard he was still in Minnesota and that makes it even tougher. (Amy's husband)

I was wrong he was in Washington while She was last in Minnesota and self quarantined.

2. Bad news.

If he has it, then it's highly likely that she's been exposed as well.

3. from her post

While this is his story and not mine, I wanted to let my colleagues and constituents know that since John and I have been in different places for the last two weeks and I am outside the 14-day period for getting sick, my doctor has advised me to not get a test. As everyone is aware, there are test shortages for people who need them everywhere and I don’t qualify to get one under any standard.

11. Good doctor, good senator. She'll know if she gets sick or doesn't.

I admire this in her and the person she chose to be her doctor.

6. I have read a few accounts fro people saying that they did the same.

That guy who was in Florida and flew back to CA threw up blood while in Florida. And STILL waited to go to the dr till he got back to CA!!
