I find the claim that it would have been proven that he was infected in the Senate chamber to be difficult to ascertain. Presumably he wasn't sequestered inside the Senate building for a continuous period of several weeks. Notably neither of the 2 refs back up that claim either. --Soman (talk) 11:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably a good call, Soman, even if they are claiming he caught it in the Senate (which has an active outbreak with some 160 confirmed cases among senators and staff). I have learned since that he was in a long session just days before his death, which is noteworthy and makes for a much better hook: Raymie (t • c) 17:11, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
