Tom Rice has "Wuhan flu"

And by that, you know he's a Republican asshat.

Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) announced Monday that he and his family had tested positive for the coronavirus, becoming the eighth member of Congress to have a confirmed or presumed case of the disease.

Rice said in a Facebook post that he, his wife and son had developed symptoms of COVID-19 — which he referred to as the "Wuhan flu" — in the last week but are now recovering.

"We are all on the mend and doing fine," Rice wrote. He noted that his son had "gotten really sick" with a fever and "really bad cough," while his wife had a "slight" fever with a cough and aches.

Rice said that he had milder symptoms but lamented that he had lost his sense of taste and smell — and expressed particular frustration that he is unable to enjoy bacon.

Six other members of Congress have also tested positive for the coronavirus and since recovered: Reps. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.), Ben McAdams (D-Utah), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) and Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), as well as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

A seventh lawmaker, House Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), said on March 30 that she had been diagnosed with a "presumed" coronavirus infection after displaying symptoms but was not officially tested.

"We are finishing our quarantine and looking forward to seeing you all again. Friends, please wash your hands and take precautions," Rice concluded.

Masks? And call it by its rightful name instead of race baiting like Representative Rice.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
