Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) announced on Saturday he has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Pennsylvania Republican said that he is complying with health guidelines and postponing public events following his diagnosis.

“As your member of Congress, I wanted to inform you that, very unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID-19. I have been following all CDC health and safety guidelines, and will be taking all necessary actions, including postponing upcoming public events and working from home in quarantine until I receive a negative test result,” he said in a statement.

“I am thankful to God that my grown children were not at home and that my wife Shelley has tested negative,” he added.

The GOP lawmaker was unable to attend the House’s vote on legislation to provide $25 billion for Postal Service operations on Saturday after contracting the virus but said he would have voted against the measure.

“Because of this, I will not be present or voting today on H.R. 8015. I will, however, submit for the record that I would have voted ‘NAY.’ I will always support a strong, effective post office. They should be provided the resources they need to perform at a high level of excellence,” his statement said.

1. Not to be ghoulish here

But until one of these "I'm Not Wearing a Mask" Republican lawmakers gets seriously sick (like Herman Cain sick), the message won't connect. Rand Paul tested positive and after lunching with his colleagues, went home for a few weeks and was fine. I'm not wishing anyone to suffer (yeah, maybe I am), but the only way we knock this hideous disease is with masks, staying home, and distancing.

6. said another way, Republicans do nothing until it severely affects them personally

2. His web site urges people to take precautions including wearing masks. I don't think I ever heard

of the guy. At least when he says he was taking precautions, he has that backing him up.

8. ROFL

4. "supports stong effective PO which should be provided resources needed, but votes NOT on the bill?"

There goes my sympathy for this hypocrite.

9. Yeah, I didn't get that double talk either. Fucker.
