Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili, family test positive for COVID-19
Meili tweeted a photo of four rapid tests on Wednesday, stating he was the last to test positive in his family and he had few symptoms.
He was responding to his own tweet threat dedicated to his son Gus’ status. Gus contracted the virus on Thursday.Meili was not available to comment. On Monday he tweeted that he had spent the day in a pediatric emergency room with his son, Gus, who woke up crying in pain with viral myositis.Viral myositis, “is an inflammation of the muscle, and it liberates a product in the blood that can be toxic for their kidneys,” according to pediatrician Dr. Mahli Brindamour, who is also Gus’ mom and married to Meili.
The ER Gus was taken to is in Jim Pattinson Children’s Hospital, which one of the spots where Brindamour works. She said she wasn’t well enough to take him to hospital, because she was also sick with COVID, but told Global News it was a new experience to know it was her child in the emergency room.I was last to test positive and so far have the fewest symptoms, but we're all pretty wiped and grateful we'd planned to be home this week.
Thanks again to all who reached out with kind words and offers of help. This is an amazing community.
