Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) office announced Sunday afternoon that he has tested positive for COVID-19, making him the first senator and the third known member of Congress to test positive for the coronavirus.
Strange that front-line medical workers have trouble getting tested, but asymptomatic Libertarians get to be “overabundantly cautious” at the tax-payers’ expense.
In a tweet via Paul’s account, the Kentucky senator’s office said that after being tested out of “an abundance of caution” in light of his extensive travel and events
Which raises the question, why exactly is someone plugged into the Intelligence, knows full well how contagious this virus is (whether he wants to admit it or not), and is a medical doctor himself, traveling extensively at this particular time? It’s a stupid, dangerous and reckless act.
