I do wonder, though, if he was at C-19 Central in Palm Beach recently.

(268,856 posts)Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart says he has tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the first member of Congress to announce he has contracted the novel coronavirus.
Diaz-Balart, 58, voted on the House floor as recently as early Saturday morning, when lawmakers passed a coronavirus relief package.
Diaz-Balart, a Republican who represents Florida's 25th Congressional District, which includes Miami-Dade County, said in a statement that on Saturday evening he developed symptoms, including a fever and a headache.
He had already been in self-quarantine in Washington, D.C., something he said he started on Friday "in an abundance of caution."
