I think Rand was purposely infected. He’s been attacked by Democrats before (physically) and his father, also very prominent lawmaker and doctor, had some interesting things to say about the virus. RepMattGaetz senatemajldr realDonaldTrump SecPompeo FBI TheJusticeDept

Unconfirmed reports that he went to the gym very recently and swam in the pool. If that's true: WTF

Dr. Paul was much more susceptible to this virus after having 6 ribs broken by a deranged neighbor, which has led to chronic pneumonia. I hope he will recover soon.

Get Well, Dude. You Got Time To Think. 🏡

Asymptomatic but concerned...isn't that the exact reason everyone else has been told not to get tested due to difficulties getting testing and PPE supplies? WTF?

Oh well.

Karma

He was going to vote No anyways.
