Patch Illinois reports:
Lake Forest billionaires Liz and Dick Uihlein have contracted the coronavirus, they told employees at their Wisconsin-based shipping and packaging company Wednesday.
The prolific conservative political contributors have been outspoken opponents of COVID-19 restrictions, with Mrs. Uihlein arguing in the spring that the media is “overblowing” the threat from the coronavirus.
“After these long months, I thought we’d never get it. Well, Trump got it,” the 75-year-old president and CEO said in a message to employees. “If we had not been around people with COVID, we would not have been tested. We would have been back at Uline.”
Liz and Dick Uihlein, among Trump’s biggest donors, have coronavirus, per email sent to Uline staff and shared with me.
“After all these long months, I thought we’d never get it. Well, Trump go it…..If we had not been around people with COVID, we would not have been tested.”
