In late June, Gohmert claimed that he didn’t need to wear a mask because he didn’t have COVID-19 (even though the purpose behind masks is to keep asymptomatic people from spreading the virus), but he pledged to wear one if he did get infected.I guess he'll be wearing one now. And he'll probably survive and be just fine.
“If I get it, you’ll never see me without a mask,” the GOP lawmaker told CNN at the time.
We should start reporting when people get all sicknesses. Keep a list or something.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has tested positive for the novel coronavirus — but that didn’t stop him from showing up to his office and talking with his staffers on Wednesday morning.
According to ABC News reporter Katherine Faulders, Gohmert “returned to his Capitol Hill office and told staff he wanted to inform them *in person* instead of finding out from news reports.”
Faulders adds that “some staffers were already in the process of leaving” the office to avoid potentially getting infected with COVID-19 when Gohmert arrived.
Politico reporter Jake Sherman confirmed Faulders’s report about Gohmert showing up to his office, and said that there is a “lot of frustration about the Texas Republican” at the moment.
Gohmert has been one of a handful of congressional Republicans who have rebelled against rules on wearing face masks in the building, and he was seen coming in close contact with Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday while neither man was wearing a mask.
