The Hill reports:
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced on Thursday that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Massie, who is not vaccinated, wrote in a tweet that he was experiencing cold and allergy symptoms for one day “but seem[s] to be over it.” He said he will not be voting, attending in-person meetings or making public appearances until next week.
Massie made headlines in July when he and two other firebrand Republican lawmakers — Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Ralph Norman (S.C.) — filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after they were fined for not wearing masks on the House floor, which is required in the chamber.

I have tested positive for SARS-CoV2. (Home test, confirmed by lab PCR.) I had cold/allergy symptoms for 1 day, and seem to be over it.
I can’t guarantee, but I suspect my symptoms have been very mild due to prior infection 2 years ago. Also, perhaps this was omicron?

This is NOT a recommendation, only a disclosure: The only medication I took was loratadine (generic form of Claritin), due to the symptoms I was experiencing. Seek doctors advice if you find yourself sick, because every case is unique and some cases are very serious.

I will not be voting, meeting in person, or making public appearances until next week.
I am not vaccinated or boosted.
If trolls or media have other questions about my health status, the answer is most likely, “NUNYA.”
