I personally don't give a damn who is what, what party one belongs to, I will always pray for anyone who contracts this virus.

This virus is a real clusterfuck, I've always said that the human race will end not because of a nuclear holocaust, but because Mother Nature finally gets pissed enough and unleashes a microbe.

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."

Any bets he caught this at Mar-o-Lysol - these fuckers are irresponsible.
