MADISON, Wis. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, says he never had any symptoms after testing positive Oct. 2 for the coronavirus, declaring that COVID-19 “is not a death sentence.”
More than 152,000 people in Wisconsin have tested positive for the virus, and 1,474 have died.
Wisconsin has seen a spike in cases in recent months, and has been one of the top five states in the country for new cases per-capita.
The Republican Johnson said Monday that while there have been “so many tragedies” for those who test positive, “at the same time COVID is not a death sentence.”
