After an attendee of CPAC, the annual convention for American conservatives, was confirmed to have COVID-19, several Republican lawmakers who encountered the individual put themselves on voluntary self-quarantine.
One of those lawmakers was GOP Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona.

Gosar himself had a unique way of processing the news, with a tweet admitting it made him think "about life and mortality."

Needless to say, the internet turned his tweet into an opportunity for a meme-off.

If the Congressman is interested in glorious battle, several Twitter users had a place he could find it.

Gosar was surely inspired by these many images of great warriors.

In the end, however, Gosar gave us something truly beautiful: a new meme that will bring us joy for a day or so.
@toddzwillich @jetjocko It's a meme now, it belongs to all of us, an incredible gift from Dr. Gosar— Christopher Ingraham (@Christopher Ingraham) 1583774275.0
Several people online also used this opportunity to remind people of why they should vote Paul Gosar out of office.

Have fun in self-quarantine, Rep. Gosar! Hopefully it won't be as gruesome as the battles you envision yourself in.
