He was severely injured last year when his neighbor attacked him. I think they removed part of his lung.

They travel and socialize more than a lot of people.

e is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events

IOW, the elite can get treatment.

Sadly, it would be better had they removed part of his tongue instead.

He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person

Well, he got it somehow.

Has Mitt Romney ever worked out a day in his life?

If he goes to the gym at all, I’m sure it’s just to look at men.

Meanwhile Pence says do not get tested unless you have symptoms.

Probably due to the number of tests available and that most still are going through the CDC. That is slowly changing. Though many of the private tests are unreliable still.

He’s still an improvement over his father.
Low bar.

So what’s going on here?? I get mad at Rand Paul sometimes, too, but so far in this thread everyone is just crapping on him for getting sick??

Sheesh. Think I’ve had my fill of FR for the day.

Here’ a crazy thought, someone decided this was a good way to cull the herd. They’ve been spraying it in the air and hundreds of millions of people have it their system. The vast majority will have no symptoms, not even know they have it inside them. About 2 % will die.. It’s a start on depopulation.

Crazy, of course it is, but if millions and millions of people start testing positive, even after all the isolation, you’d have to wonder what really is going on.

Glad I worked from home last week as well. I am in too many risk groups and the dry cough from my allergies was starting to get too many glares.

Who else among the “elite” have this? Other than Tom Hanks, who has apparently recovered already.

First thing that popped into my mind when I heard of his being tested. He may be a pain but he is 'our' pain. Wish him and his family well.

Rand spoke at CPAC less than a month ago, on Thursday, which was the day the wealthy pol jock sniffer who was patient zero in Westchester County reportedly was hanging around the green room to schmooze with all the speakers.

Don’t forget Rand had part of a lung removed as a late consequence of being attacked by his rabid rat neighbor. And suffered directly from multiple broken ribs initially. That likely is a risk factor. Breathing-wise, Rand has been living the life of Job the past year.

Meanwhile Pence says do not get tested unless you have symptoms.

Sounds like he may have the same attitude that Sacramento and CDC has:

=======================================================

"Effective immediately, people in Sacramento County should not quarantine themselves if they've been exposed to the COVID-19. Instead, they should go into isolation only if they begin to show symptoms of the respiratory virus, the county's health department says."

"The decision of what steps to implement will be local," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said last week. She added, "CDC's role is to provide technical advice to states and counties."

CDC - Sacramento
