Gohmert, who was in attendance at Tuesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr, is the seventh representative to contract the virus. He was spotted without a mask on Tuesday speaking with Barr within an arm’s length prior to the hearing. Barr will be tested today for coronavirus following Gohmert’s positive result.

Just spreading the love, they were, along with a deadly virus. No masks. They think they're immune.

I remember Nadler going off on someone for not wearing a mask, and Gym Jordan defending them.

I'm not sure how long after exposure it takes for the virus to register positive, I wouldn't think in one day...of course it probably depends upon which test is used and whether the individual had already been exposed in the previous days...just a thought...
