    Having such incompetent leadership, it is no surprise that we have 25% of the world's covid cases, with only 4% of the population. MAGA.

    Add Louie "The Brain" Gohmert to Reps. Mario Diaz Balart (R-Fla.), Neal Dunn (R-Fla.), Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), Ben McAdams (D-Utah) and Tom Rice (R-S.C.) who have tested positive for the virus, along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

    You mean you might have the virus before you become symptomatic (or even if you never become symptomatic at all) and that's why health-literate people are encouraging people to wear masks and 99.99% of the arguments against them are braindead nonsense? Who knew?!?!?!?!!?!?

    Masks do not stop viruses. It is simple mathematics.

    Do you remember this little thing that exists that is called an immune system??

    He's a nitwit. I wonder how many people he may have cross infected due to his selfishness? While I hope he makes a complete recovery, I hope he's learned a valuable lesson.

    Masks help stop the spread, so long as enough people wear them. It is simple science. I don't care about the fake "immune system" argument. It ignores the simple facts and is a desperate straw man.

    How many of them may have medical conditions for the rest of their lives (which they are not going to make public of course)?

    If that's the case, then why do doctors and nurses wear masks in a hospital setting such as an operating room or a ward that is full of covid-19 patients? If they have an immune system, then why wear any masks?

    good, he'll soon have antibodies and can donate plasma

    is it newsworthy each time a politician catches an STD, or the flu or catches a cold? Why has covid become a political tool for you?

    That's assuming he does't develop any respiratory or cardiac conditions down the road.

    Yeah, with a death rate of, say, 5%, the virus would kill only one out of twenty. So far 0:7 does not mess with known statistics. They've just been lucky.

    It wouldn't be newsworthy if it weren't politicians who downplay the virus and oppose mask wearing. Being able to say "I told you so" is an important thing, especially when it comes to those science deniers.

    Yes, as a matter of fact, I'm more than sure that was his ultimate goal. That was likely why Herman Cain exposed himself at Trump's Typhoid Mary rally in Oklahoma. Two extraordinary martyrs. Hail Cain and Gohmert!

    The poster believes that it is people posting on forums how have politicized this virus as opposed to the morons who are refusing to acknowledge the facts, stats and science in order to prop up Sweet Potato Hitler. Now that's rich!

    Sweet potato Hitler? Where did this mask up mandate come from? Who has ordered it with penalties for non compliance?
