Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Wednesday he will take an anti-malaria drug that experts have warned doesnt treat the coronavirus after he tested positive for the virus.
"My doctor and I are all in," Gohmert said about hydroxychloroquine during a Wednesday evening interview with Fox News, according to Newsweek.
"I got a text before I came on from a friend doctor who just found out he had it, and he started the regimen too zinc and hydroxychloroquine. And that will start in a day or two, so thank you," the congressman added.
Congressional aides confirmed Wednesday that Gohmert, who has largely opted against wearing a mask around the Capitol, tested positive for COVID-19.

That’s the ticket!
Smart move.
As for masks, Gohmert said he will now be donning one since his diagnosis making the distinction that its best to do so once you have contracted the coronavirus.
I will be religiously wearing a mask as I leave the building, he told the station. I will not be around anybody for the next 10 days without making sure that I have a mask.
Because thats the real danger, once you have it, giving it to somebody else, he said. And thats when a mask is most important.
Louie knows.
