Rep. Diaz-Balart Becomes 1st Member Of Congress To Announce Positive COVID-19 Test
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.
Still think it's a hoax, Trump?

(11,943 posts)5. I hope we're overreacting. It's a damned sight better than under-reacting.
Because of Trump's failure to act, we're flying blind. The only reasonable option is to assume the worst.

Oh, no! He knew it was a pandemic before it ever left Asia! Remember, the doctors just couldn't understand how he knew SO much about all of this.
There's not enough time in a 30-second ad to list all of his lies just about the COVID-19!
