The NYTimes had a graphic on the Representatives and Senators who contracted covid-19 virus. I was interested because at the Powerline blog one or more of the bloggers had expressed skepticism over the efficacy of face masks and social distancing in combating the disease. I think enough time has passed for a fair evaluation. I also think the members of Congress are roughly similar so a comparison by party is valid. The outcome: 44 Republicans and 17 Democrats have contracted the disease.
I don't know whether that's statistically significant, but it impresses me.
