Ericksen has opposed vaccine mandates and pushed the state to ease many social-distancing measures enacted to fight the new coronavirus pandemic.
Ericksen missed more votes on the final passage of bills out of the Senate this year, according to earlier reporting by McClatchy. For some of those missed votes, he was in El Salvador, where he was observing elections that took place Feb. 28. Ericksen said he was in El Salvador at the invitation of the country’s vice president.
There’s no rule prohibiting senators from being out of the state, Secretary of the Senate Brad Hendrickson confirmed.
However, at the time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended travelers avoid all travel to El Salvador, where levels of the disease were “very high.” Ericksen said in a text message at the time that he took “multiple” COVID-19 tests and “all precautions.”

I should note that I rarely if ever celebrate someone’s death — even in the Orange Peril’s case my reaction will probably be akin to feeling of peace that descends when you stop hitting yourself on the head with a hammer — and I do feel for his family. That said, @Euphonious_Polemic’s final comment does seem to apply.
I am vaxxed, boosted and where a mask when in stores. That said, from what I can tell from reading, there is a non-zero chance that at some point I’d test positive - this shit is endemic and (especially but not only for the vaxxed/boosted) often times asymptomatic.
Since: Patriots who are forced to be on ventilators (to shut them up, not because of some hoax “disease”) consume oxygen, And: Oxygen comes in cylinders, Therefore: Oxygen cylinders are part of the Deep State conspiracy against Real Americans™ and must be destroyed.
Makes just about sense as what will turn out to be the real reason (if any).
But, but…if you dilute the oxygen with air 10,000 times and then repeatedly hit the tank with a hammer the molecules will “remember” the oxygen and become even MORE potent.
There could be some sad and deeply ironic story here. “A man whose mental capacity was diminished through cerebral hypoxia in an earlier stroke was injured today when he attempted to open the stuck valve on oxygen cylinder by bashing it with a hammer.”
