Rep. Matt Gaetz stood by his move to sport an enormous gas mask to protect himself from coronavirus — even during a House floor vote on funding for the public health emergency.
“Look, members of Congress are human petri dishes,” Gaetz (R-Fla.) told TMZ, “We fly through the dirtiest airports, we touch everyone we meet, so if anyone’s gonna get coronavirus, it’s totally gonna be Congress.”
Walking toward a congressional office building, the Florida Republican offered the outlet more examples of the risks politicians face because of their exposure to constituents.
“We shake hands, we kiss babies, we touch everybody’s cell phone when we take a little selfie with them so, we should be ready.”

Wow, that sucker must be N99.99999999999.
I lost all respect for this guy.
On Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who is white, wore a gas mask on the House floor during a vote on an emergency funding bill to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The sergeant-at-arms requested that he remove it in the chamber, but Gaetz refused and was not escorted off the floor.
Just pointing out the over hyped hysteria you and others are trying to generate. I think it is hilarious.
I heard you need a gas mask if you are in confined quarters when bernard sanders is around.
you are not paying attention...and projecting YOUR head in the sand approach
Gaetz told The Hill, “Look, members of Congress are human petri dishes. We fly through the dirtiest airports. We touch everyone we meet. If anyone’s gonna get coronavirus, it’s gonna be the people on that floor, so I want to be ready.”

There was a thread a couple of days ago that said farts can spread the virus.
Me too. I liked him before and was actually going to donate to his campaign....now? Forget it.
Haha...I did that about 5 years ago...people thought I was weird
Our church instead of hugging during the “peace” has gone to fist bumps.
Issue the masks to the decent Rs, not the Ds. This virus might have a silver lining after all.
Hopefully there will come a day when the Coronavirus will be eradicated and Matt Gaetz can get back to kissing babies.
You are ether extremely gullible, or just want to generate as much fear and panic as you can. Judging from your posting history, I suspect the later.
LOL. Yes, all Senate staff and politicians say "Hey, Hi Bernie, I'll take the next elevator. Just remembered something I have to do first. See ya."
Full face negative pressure mask with HEPA filtration.
Protection Factor of 100, which means it reduces the contaminants to 1% of ambient.
In reality, a good fitting full face mask, worn correctly, can give you a PF of 10,000, but the PF 100 figure is used because they are often worn with an incomplete seal, so there are leaks.
“On Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who is white”
Well I was wondering if he was white. I’m so glad they pointed that out.
Tell that to all that people that are finding out they have the virus because they have been around a hospitalized spreader.
The numbers increase by the day from that spreader
But since you are invincible I expect you to volunteer to to help those that need it. You won’t need protection since you dont think you can get the virus.
Where is the first place you will volunteer?
