Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, First Gentleman test positive for COVID-19

By: Blair Miller

DENVER – Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and his partner both tested positive for COVID-19, the governor’s office said Saturday evening.

Polis, who went into quarantine on Wednesday after saying he was exposed to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus, said in a statement he and partner, First Gentleman Marlon Reis, were asymptomatic and “feeling well.”

“Marlon and I are feeling well so far, and are in good spirits. No person or family is immune to this virus. I urge every Coloradan to practice caution, limit public interactions, wear a mask in public, stay six feet from others, and wash your hands regularly,” Polis said in a statement.

The governor’s office said he would be “closely monitored” and would continue to work remotely.

The governor signed four executive orders relating to the virus earlier in the day. Colorado reported more than 4,300 more cases of COVID-19 Saturday and a three-day average positivity rate of 10.80%.

Polis has been in quarantine since Wednesday after learning he was exposed to someone who had tested positive with COVID-19. He tested negative on Wednesday evening, officials reported.

Conor Cahill, the governor’s press secretary, told FOX31, “The Governor mainly works remotely and continues to encourage Coloradans and businesses that can to do the same. The Governor will follow CDC and CDPHE guidelines.”

With confirmed positivity, the couple have now moved from quarantine status to isolation.

“Marlon and I are feeling well so far, and are in good spirits,” Polis stated in his tweet. “No person or family is immune to this virus. I urge every Coloradan to practice caution, limit public interactions, wear a mask in public, stay six feet from others, and wash your hands regularly.”

Polis said while he isolates and follows proper protocols, he will continue serving the state as much as he is able to and doing as much possible to protect all Coloradans.

Awww. Mr mask and social distancing who has been scolding all of us for not doing our part and his “husband”’caught the disease. The day or two after the mayor of denver was caught flying to meet his family for thanksgiving right after telling us peons to stay home and cancel our celebrations. sometimes schadenfreud is just too good to be true.

No,it's really not hard to believe.After all Colorado is populated largely by refugees from Kalifornia,Oregon,Washington and Illinois.

The same thing happened to New Hampshire.Once solidly Republican refugees from Massachusetts turned the state into just another part of The Swamp.

Their lack of symptoms is quite typical. If we’re going to shut things down, we should at least wait until large numbers of people have serious symptoms. Yet I know a nursing home that has been in lockdown for months due entirely to symptomless employees.

If he’s a “gentleman” then I’m a gift from God to the entire human race.

Well, this is a first: a report of a prominent DEMOCRAT testing positive for COVID. Oh, and he was wearing a mask, too!

So apparently the queers were not distancing, wearing masks and staying home. Because if you do those things you cannot get the China flu.

Yeah, I doubt anything they do is ‘gentlemanly’.

So...a bug that is so benign most people that get it are asymptomatic - don't even know they have it. Yet we (as a society, certainly not me personally (*)) are willingly wrecking our economy, sacrificing livelihoods and basic freedoms and liberties? This makes no sense at all. It is insane.

When you look back at what the National Socialist German Workers Party did it is easy to wonder how/why the German's bought into that. The reality is they didn't, not all at once. I fear for what we're ultimately buying into now with our acquiescence to the un-Constitutional acts of so many Governors, Mayors, etc.


(*) Yes, I'm sheeple enough I wear a mask. I have to work to support my family and buy groceries to feed them. Yes I feel ashamed every time I put on a mask to enter the grocery store or go into work. It has given me new understanding and empathy with the 1930s Germans that previously I had held considerable disdain and contempt for. The other day as I approached the door to the grocery store and put on my mask I bleated/baa'd like a sheep. Apparently too loudly, another guy coming out pulled his mask off and laughed - not a fun/funny laugh, a sad laugh.

Oh. My. God.

Lived in CO for ten years and would never have thought that we’d elect a person in a gay male couple as governor.

A fag? Then call him a fag. P. C. Is killing this country by clouding right and wrong. The governor is a fag. Fine so be it. . But there is no such thing as the "first gentleman" because unless the governor is a woman.

There is no such thing as gay marriage. Its 2 homos shacking up.
