Washington, DC (CNN)Republican Rep. Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania has tested positive for coronavirus, and as a result, will not be voting on House Democrats' bill to provide more money to the US Postal Service, he announced Saturday.

"As your member of Congress, I wanted to inform you that, very unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID-19," Meuser said in a statement.

"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,'" he said.

The House on Saturday evening is set to vote on a bill allocating $25 billion to the USPS and banning operational changes that have slowed mail service around the country.

Meuser is just the latest member of Congress to test positive. Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana announced earlier this week he had tested positive, while GOP Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois announced he tested positive earlier this month, as did Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona.

3. Is voting by proxy against their religion or something?

It seemed like they made a rule and many Democrats voted by proxy. What in the hell is wrong with these Republicans?

4. Darwinism in action.

5. I would find it ironic if he died because his medication arrived late by mail.

I know there's no medication for Covid but a guy can dream can't he?

6. I hope the congressman's medication comes by Dejoy Special Snail Mail. nt
