I'm not sure that I'd pay much heed to a man who says we can easily mitigate the risks for children to attend school, and then a few days later tests positive for COVID-19. Source: Washington Post Rep. H. Morgan Griffith, a Virginia Republican and Freedom Caucus member who days ago urged schools to reopen in the fall, announced Tuesday that he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. The news was posted on Griffith’s Twitter account. “Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) today was informed that he tested positive for COVID-19,” the tweet said.
