Sen. Tim Kaine said Thursday that he and his wife, Anne, tested positive for coronavirus antibodies earlier this month, making the Virginia Democrat the second member of the Senate to have recovered from the novel coronavirus. In a statement, Kaine said that he had tested positive for the flu earlier this year and that he began experiencing new symptoms in late March. In his statement, Kaine noted that he still plans to wear a mask because it remains unclear whether those who have recovered from the coronavirus can pass it to others. “We each tested positive for coronavirus antibodies this month,” he said. It shows those around you that you care about them.”In March, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) became the first member of the Senate to test positive for the coronavirus.
