I cant help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place that if I might have put some germs, some of the virus, onto the mask and breathed it in, Gohmert told KETK News in a Skype interview several hours after news of his diagnosis broke. Gohmert said hes worn a mask in the last week or two (he did not wear a mask on Tuesday while interacting with Attorney General Bill Barr, who also was not wearing a mask).
The Texas lawmaker also stated that he didnt have any symptoms of the virus.
Im asymptomatic, Gohmert said in a video he posted on Twitter.
The revelation is particularly striking given that the express purpose of wearing a mask, which Gohmert has largely refused to do, is to prevent those with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic from unwittingly transmitting the virus to others.

(25,930 posts)A significant percentage of those who test positive never do, or have exceedingly mild and short-lived symptoms. I hope he's not one of those.
