Rep. David Byrd, R-Waynesboro, who was hospitalized over the weekend due to complications from COVID-19, might be put on a ventilator due to his low oxygen levels, the Associated Press reports. “I really need a miracle today!! My doctor said if my oxygen level doesn’t improve then he has no choice but to put me on a ventilator,” Byrd wrote in a post on his Facebook page. Byrd attended the House GOP caucus meeting on Nov. 24 when the nearly 70-member group reelected legislative leaders. He also participated in a House GOP overnight retreat the weekend prior.
