LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- State Senator Jason Rapert (R-Conway) is in the hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia and testing positive for COVID-19.

According to a statement from Rapert, he is responding well to treatment.

“This is a difficult time for my family, but we know that God is with us always,” Rapert said. “We’re sincerely grateful for the many prayers of love and support that have been expressed on our behalf.”

“We have all been doing our best to wear a mask, social distance and be careful like everyone else,” said Rapert. “This virus is serious and can attack anyone regardless of age or general health.”

I think the line that "God is with us always" is hilarious when someone is lying in the hospital maybe dying with Covid and claiming they're being protected by God. Perhaps she momentarily stepped out of the room and that let Covid in?
