Hoping the health challenge is mild and that this is a legit awakening for him to realize how wrong he and the rest of his damned 'party' has been about the efficacy of masks and other protective measures.

(25,986 posts)I flashed back to that moment right away, as well as thinking, that's just great - how many people did he breathe on yesterday at the hearing? How much silly, childish whining and pushback has there been from him, from Jordan, and from other Repubs about wearing a mask?

(982 posts)I hope his symptoms are NOT mild, and that he finds himself in an overburdened ICU with a respirator in some remote Texas Podunk hospital.
jmg257
(11,996 posts)Told that health experts say that people who don't have symptoms may be carrying the virus and can unknowingly spread it to others, Gohmert responded: "But I keep being tested and I don't have it. So I'm not afraid of you, but if I get it I'll wear a mask."

(6,860 posts)It's not that some pop-in-jay, yokel vaudeville reject has the virus. You may know him as the congresscreature who bragged about not wearing a mask. Not that he may have infected an entire congressional committee from sheer orneriness. Not that he could have infected the whole executive branch (it hurts to frame it that way when I truly feel everything would be better if the whole bunch were intubated for the next 96-7300 days in federal prison).
Nope, the outrage is that he was able to get results effectively "as he entered" the white house while literally MILLIONS of Americans must wait days, weeks or multiples of weeks to get results even when they are ALREADY sick.

cayugafalls
(5,645 posts)While the general public has to wait a week to get results (which makes contact tracing difficult and spread so much worse), they get their results in 5 minutes.
Talking with my doctor today he said trump and the admin are misleading and damaging the society at large due to their handling of the pandemic. It was good to hear from my doctor.
The Jungle 1
(4,552 posts)He refused to mask up so now he should not be allowed to put our healthcare hero's at risk. He should stay at home and use only tele medi for his treatment. No healthcare worker should go anywhere near him. NO VENT for this fool.
My wife is a nurse. Why should she be put at risk because of stupid fools.
This really burns my ass. She is out doing covid testing right now. An extra shift I might add. I keep telling her she should quit because of the fools who do not care about her. She is 63 and needs to get out.
Not winning that argument. Her heart is way bigger than mine.
My rage is building.
Damn his eyes.

(2,596 posts)EFFECTIVE at preventing the spread of COVID when worn by the asymptomatic, or carriers, and much less effective at preventing catching this virus when worn by those who do not have it. This should also be broadcast by our national doctors and media, but No our pResident do not like mask. What stunning failure.

(46,083 posts)Well, healthy for him. I wonder if he's become symptomatic or if this was a routine test for someone in Congress.
We need for some of these RWNJs to get sick so the people who vote for them will get a dose of reality.
Nasty thought: If he were to die, would he lie in state in the rotumda?
