Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for the second this year, has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending last week's Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.
"Yesterday, after learning of a potential exposure at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, I was notified that I tested positive for COVID," Waters said in a statement released Tuesday. "I am currently isolating and have no symptoms."
Waters, who is vaccinated and double boosted, tested positive for the virus in April but said she did not experience any symptoms.
"If you haven't received the vaccine and/or booster, I encourage you to do so," Waters said in her Tuesday statement. "I am feeling fine and resting at home."

Is it just me or does anyone think it ironic that all the vaxxers and maskers seem to catch the Wuhan virus not only once, but often twice or more. This plague among the most virtuous progressives is really strange.
It seems like the Omicron variants are hard to get rid of. People are sick for weeks or reinfect very quickly. Fortunately, the illness itself doesn’t seem to be as severe for most people.
I know a couple of people that had it. Their problems seem to be lingering symptoms.
Dr. Fauci, aka the "Father" of Covid, recently tested positive.
Having had Covid, both shots, and a booster, I'm planning on getting second booster when available
I'm on the fence over the second boost. Since efficacy seems to fade with time, I'm waiting to see an uptick of cases in my circle before I go. So, yea, that's one way immunized folks end up with covid - rolling the dice.
I did something similar. I got my second booster a few weeks ago, when I saw cases starting to climb around here. So I figure by now, I’m at peak antibodies (hopefully that helps). Like a week after I got the shot, one of my teenagers got Covid. So far, none of the rest of us are sick.
