Johns Hopkins University reported that the seven-day average for new infections nationwide was over 700,000 for the first time this weekend.

Vaccinations and booster shots make the symptoms much less severe in breakthrough cases and generally protect against hospitalizations.

Three other representatives, Jim Cooper of Tennessee, Sean Casten of Illinois, and Young Kim of California, shared their positive results just one day prior to AOC's announcement.

"Thankfully I only have mild symptoms because I have been vaccinated and received my booster," Cooper wrote on Twitter. Casten and Kim also confirmed they were only experiencing mild symptoms at worst and urged Americans to get boosted.

As of Monday, 62.5% of the population has had at least two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. According to Our World in Data, over 75 million booster shots have been administered so far.
