Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has become the first senator to test positive for the coronavirus. His staff says he is asymptomatic.
In a statement released on Sunday, Paul's deputy chief of staff, Sergio Gor, wrote:
"Senator Rand Paul has tested positive for COVID-19. He is feeling fine and is in quarantine. He is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events. He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person. He expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends and will continue to work for the people of Kentucky at this difficult time. Ten days ago, our D.C. office began operating remotely, hence virtually no staff has had contact with Senator Paul."

Another elite
He can prescribe himself the good stuff, right?
Glad I worked from home last week (I normally work in NYC).
Will senators and congressmen be able to vote while in self quarantine? I’m asking seriously, as I believe the normal requires require presence on the chamber floor for votes.
DOB January 7, 1963. So 57 years old.
Meanwhile Pence says do not get tested unless you have symptoms.
oh, hell. now he’ll be on msnbc 10 times a day.
“Senator Sandbagged, you’ve had the virus for another 10 minutes since we last put your flapping mouth on television; has your situation changed?”
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has become the first senator to test positive for the coronavirus. His staff says he is asymptomatic.
...
Could it be a false positive?
so what - he’ll be fine, like most
Funny how he had no symptoms, was so unconcerned and got a
test out of nowhere.
Elitism Kills.
Most people who catch it get well and never realize that they had it.
Is Rand Paul diabetic, or a heart patient, or does he have an unknown cancer? Those are the things which make this virus a threat.
There is currently 340,000 people worldwide that have been infected with this. 340000 divided by 7.5 billion equals 0.00004533333.
It seems that if you are one of the elite, you are about 1,000 times more likely to get it.
senator paul’s virus is superior to everyone else’s virus because his virus, and only his virus, stands on constitutional principles!
no, he’s a pretentious, self important, blowhard. they are at minimum risk for complications from corona virus.
But according to Mittens Romney Rand Paul was at the Senate GYM working out so how many were exposed today to him
Wah. I’ve got the bug too. If I call the AP do you think they will issue a Flash Bulletin?
Remember this?

Part of his lung was removed
His “neighbor” attacked him from behind
He’s still an improvement over his father.
