Ellen DeGeneres is back at work after testing positive for Covid-19 in December. The daytime talk show host took several weeks off to recover from the illness. In a preview for Wednesday's episode of DeGeneres spoke about when she first learned she had contracted Covid-19. "Obviously there's a lot of negative things going on, so I want to talk about something positive, my Covid test," she joked. DeGeneres went on to assure her fans that she had recovered, saying; "I'm fine now, I'm all good." DeGeneres recovered at home where she said she kept her distance from her wife, Portia de Rossi.
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) has tested positive for COVID-19 after sheltering in place with fellow lawmakers. Business Insider reports the 75-year-old cancer survivor is starting her third term. She announced her diagnosis on Twitter early Monday afternoon. Watson Coleman tweeted that she'd sheltered in place at the Capitol during Wednesday's attack, with 'several colleagues who refused to wear masks.' Another representative said last week that 'about half' of the 300 or 400 lawmakers who crowded into a secure location during the siege refused to wear masks. Watson Coleman says she's isolating at home, and while she's experiencing mild symptoms, she remains in good spirits.
It's been widely noted that survivors of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 may suffer neurological damage long after other symptoms survive. It's believed that this brain damage isn't caused by the virus, but rather by the body's immune response to it. Now, UPI reports an international group of researchers has called for studies to explore the potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on the brain. Previous studies have documented brain inflammation, or encephalitis, in patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms. Some patients also suffered strokes. Postmortem MRI scans of patients who have died from COVID-19 have revealed lesions, or damage, in different regions of the brain. Researchers say it's becoming clear that the damage done by COVID-19 may have chronic, long-term consequences that could impact patients' quality of life.
Earlier in 2020 there was a massive COVID outbreak in the White House. Now, the Washington Post reports the outbreak could have been prevented. The Washington Post reports that Mark Meadows deliberately tried to hide the White House coronavirus outbreak from the public. Business Insider says the chief of staff instructed at least one fellow advisor to cover up the diagnosis. The same official revealed Meadows told them that they were "under no obligation" to reveal any COVID cases in the White House.
Ellen DeGeneres has COVID-19. The popular talk show host tweeted the news from her verified Twitter account. "Fortunately, I'm feeling fine right now. Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified." She says she is following all proper CDC guidelines. Ellen told her fans she would see them after the holidays. "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" has been back in production with Covid safety protocols in place since September.
