Marco Rubio: This virus only causes sore throats. Carry on spreading it around. [View all]

"Record numbers testing positive for a sore throat isn't a crisis. And people in the hospital for car accidents testing positive isn't a surge," Rubio wrote. "The real crisis is the irrational hysteria which has people with no symptoms waiting hours for a test or missing work for 10 days."

He went on to encourage fans who attended Friday's Orange Bowl football game in Miami.

"Very happy to see a packed stadium for tonight's #OrangeBowl," he tweeted. "There is no reason to close, limit or cancel anything. Ignore the hysteria & have a great New Years Eve!"
