Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise trip to Walter Reed Hospital this morning for a “routine doctor’s appointment” according to an anonymous White House official:

The visit comes just a few days after she met with Texas Dems who fled the state:
Texas lawmakers are fighting for the rights of all Texans—and all Americans—to raise their voice through their vote.

But even though three of the lawmakers have since tested positive for COVID-19, Harris’ spox Symone Sanders says the vice president was not at risk:

So, it’s just a coincidence?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but that is some bad timing with Kamala Harris' tweet about COVID and the announcement almost at the same time that she's at Walter Reed on a Sunday for a 'routine' exam. pic.twitter.com/OAU3osQMsH

Harris later tweeted that the Delta variant is “no joke”:
This Delta variant is no joke. Get vaccinated.
