Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) became the latest member of Congress to announce that he will self-quarantine as a precautionary measure after coming into contact with a person who tested positive for the coronavirus at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Gaetz, who traveled on Air Force One on Monday, is not currently experiencing symptoms, according to his office. The Florida Republican “received testing today and expects results soon. Under doctor's usual precautionary recommendations, he'll remain self-quarantined until the 14-day period expires this week," his office said.

1. Come on Karma.

Do what you got to do.

ETA: Interesting that a POS like Gaetz gets a test. The rest of us mortals would not.

3. He hasn't been tested; he's being isolated out of "an abundance of caution"

5. Per the article

The Florida Republican “received testing today and expects results soon.

Funny how that always works like that.

[MontanaMama]

36. I know.

Royalty apparently.

15. I'm hoping for a lot of karma!

now they're all becoming sick from going to CPAC! I hope it kills them all! That really would be karma!!

ON MTP, they said before he put himself in self quarantine, he had been in Air Force One & rode in a car with comrade donnie!

[MontanaMama]

17. I heard that same thing.

I hope the orange MF is shitting his pants over it. He’s such a germophobe.

[subana]

23. haha...

he's also very paranoid too! I'm sure he's in nuclear level panic!!

[olegramps]

25. He is a germ. A big fat ugly germ.

[tclambert]

35. Hoping for an epidemic of karma.

2. Good thing he wore gas mask, to keep germs in.

But alas, there is no filtration on exhale from gas masks.

4. Where did he get the test kit.....................

20. If you have money/power, lots of things are possible

13. how ironic

that fucking asshole was making light of all of this just the other day

[sinkingfeeling]

18. What happened to his cute gas mask?

[whistler162]

19. Self isolating on a airplane.....hmmmmm

unless AF1 has different air sources in different areas or Matt opened a window the air from where he was isolated was being circulated. I wonder how effective is the filtering system?

[stillcool]

21. they are so fortunate...

to be informed they came in contact with someone who was actually tested. Then, they have the luxury to see the best doctors, and can stay at home for however long, and still earn their paycheck. What a sham. Shame.

[CaptYossarian]

22. Self-contamination: Is that what they're calling a drunk tank now?

Hey, Kavanaugh! Room for one more.

[LuvNewcastle]

32. I was just thinking that Gaetz is now going to

do an experiment to see if alcohol kills the virus.

[sandensea]

24. Good to see that gas mask will actually be put to good use

Of course though, he should've always been wearing it - but oh well.

[2naSalit]

27. So everybody from that flight...

and now everyone at the presser...

[TalenaGor]

28. I hope someone does him like cartman did butters lol

in the casa bonita episode - cartman kept butters locked away in a bunker - told him the apocalypse had happened and he had to keep him there to keep him alive lol

lets hope Gaetz never has any idea of the 'all clear' and stays locked away lol

[Bengus81]

29. I'm sorry but I'm SMILING!! Bawhahhahaaaaaaaa....KARMA

Is his last name really pronounced like Gates? I thought it was more like gatts.

[paleotn]

30. I propose a name change....

Instead of COVID-19, how abut KARMA-19? Catchy, me thinks.

[left-of-center2012]

33. He thought it was a joke a few days ago

This is him, walking around Washington, getting his photo taken.

[SunSeeker]

34. Oh man, Karma did not take long with this douchebag.

[Marcuse]

37. Gaetz is lucky Covfefe-45 didn't order him ejected at 30,000 feet.

[Harker]

38. An exchange of fluids seems likely.

And Trumpsky is out shaking hands with many people.

Maybe a 'Typhoid Trumpsky' sort of thing.
