Amy Klobuchar's husband has the coronavirus

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.

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.

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.
