Campaigning in public with active Covid is abhorrent, for the record.

@AOC Please protect others by not spreading Covid. Use your brain and self isolate until you’re not contagious. And FFS wear an N95 mask.

🤦‍♂️ @AOC Seriously, why are you still planning to fly around while you have Covid? Knowing you are still be infectious and then voluntarily spending hours in airports, airplanes, hotels, restaurants and other crowded indoor spaces means you're creating completely avoidable exposure for everyone around you..... So reckless 😡

Great strategy. Infect potential voters who could develop long Covid and be too sick to go to the polls. They told us “we have the tools” and “you do you” but no one uses them or cares who they infect including themselves @AOC

🛑This is not ok. @AOC, so sorry that you caught COVlD. It’s important to rest. Take care of your health. Please postpone traveling till testing negative to stop the chain of transmission. Wish you a speedy recovery.

I have a huge problem with this publication. The subheading is wrong. She did not say those words. She said she's positive. She also said she's open to going to FL "after this week". I don't doubt she might do it, but can we not create stories? There's enough bad shit happening.

@aoc You are so engaged for social issues. It is not social at all to endanger peoples health. And by the way, the danger to get #LongCovid is higher if you do not rest during the acute phase.

can we get one of these maskless experts on board in the plane with her to show us how we're wrong about the transmission? any of them want to have a 2-min conversation with AOC outside and show us how the risk is totally low?

What a terrible example to set. Plus spreading infection to those she comes into contact with (or even near or near-ish…even with a time lapse!) Pity everyone is so ill-educated about airborne transmission, eh?

@AOC In 2026, it is expected of members of Congress to be significantly more educated about COVID given the ongoing harm associated with COVID infections and still largely unaddressed needs (e.g. Long Covid). Transmission matters. Knowledge and ethics must lead the way: step up.

If she does she should be reminded of it in every interaction for the rest of her life. You get COVID you STAY HOME.

I guess cases like hers are used to continue normalizing infecting others, in case people might have some common sense left.

A perfect example of why I stress the reasoning for universal healthcare. We have patient zero (AOC) willing to be ignorant and talks of going to another state with an illness that is contagious. This illness spreads & those without healthcare can die as it continues to spread.

Even without Covid, keep her tf away from all the races. Dems already have the Dem votes. To win, they need moderate republicans and you will lose those if she campaigns. JC, republicans have spent every day vilifying her. She will drive away the indies & R’s needed to win.
