Of course.

I’m covering the Sarah Palin/New York Times trial set to start today in the SDNY. Judge Rakoff says he learned last night that Palin has tested positive for COVID. “She is, of course, unvaccinated,” the judge notes.

Palin’s 10:15 test is a “rapid PCR,” and she’s supposed to get results in 15 minutes to an hour, apparently. Rakoff says they’ll handle motions in limine during the wait and then let her test result determine whether the trial will be delayed.
