WASHINGTON - Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has tested positive for coronavirus, his office said in a statement on Sunday, becoming the first member of the upper chamber of Congress to announce he has COVID-19 as the number of U.S. cases continued to grow. Paul has no symptoms and was tested out of “abundance of caution” given his recent travels, according to the statement, which comes as the Senate prepared to take up a massive economic relief bill.

Other U.S. senators self-quarantined as a precaution in recent weeks, and at least two members of the House of Representatives have also tested positive.

It could be a different person’s result. This guy can win any argument with COVID-19

Mr. 1 1/2 lung himself

And this guy is actually a doctor. We have seen some really irresponsible behavior from congress. Why keep gym and swimming pool open and if you test, there has to be a reason. You should sequester while you wait for results.

or is he lying--to delay the bill--

Let us pray 🙏 for Rand Paul and for all those infected with COVID 19 in the world. CoronavirusNewYork Floridalockdown UKLockdownNow

Pray it away Rand

And no one with an ounce of decency should care.

Karma.

And spreads it ..

Oh so it’s not a Liberal hoax?

And so the first of many Karmas for Kentucky begins. Evilneverwins

And he went to the gym after he knowingly tested,..and is a doctor,..gee thanks Rand !
