Rand Paul has tested positive for COVID-19

The $#@! that punctured his lung could cost him his life.

I'm very concerned but his staff say he is doing ok...

Rand's smart- and he & his dad should know how to take care of this.

[Brian4Liberty]

So what? Did he go to the bathroom too? Walk down a hall?

He was asymptomatic. Hopefully he stays that way.

Make sure to stay away from Ron and Carol! Speedy recovery Senator Paul.

My thoughts too!

On Drudge:

Why it matters: He's the first U.S. senator to test positive. According to his office, Paul is asymptomatic and was not aware of making direct contact with an infected person.

• Paul, a licensed physician and notorious deficit hawk, was the only senator to vote against a bipartisan $8 billion deal to provide emergency coronavirus funding earlier this month.
• He sought to introduce an amendment that would take the funding from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, but it was voted down 80-16.
• Paul may be considered a high-risk patient for coronavirus. In August 2019, the senator tweeted that he had part of his lung removed during surgery after it was damaged in a 2017 assault by his neighbor.

Why is the bolded part anything to do with it? Of course he voted against the bill. It wasn't paid for.

Didn't assume or suggest the two are connected, it's the opening statement of that axios report and highlights the coincidence.

I notice what they don't say is the funding was to come from ending the Afghanistan war. Funny that.

So what? ... He was asymptomatic. ...

It's not entirely clear yet AFAIK whether or not you can be shedding the virus while asymptomatic. It's possible that he was contaminating his environment unknowingly.

Mitch loses 2 votes in the Senate! I think they would have voted against anything anyway.#

Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking re: how Rand may've been infected...?

And we would have to know if he was practicing social distancing. Was there anyone else in the gym at all? If so, did they stay separated? Was there anyone else in the pool? You have to assume the pool is properly chlorinated, so no virus should survive that.

Why are you giving any time to a defense against "two sources." It's bull$#@!. We both know Rand would not have done that

40% - 80% estimated infections

[jkob]

I'm glad to hear that Rand is asymptomatic given the surgeries he's had, thoughts and prayers of course. I wonder what the true rate of asymptomatic carriers and how easy its spread from such person, these people wouldn't normally be tested.

[Ender]

Hmmmm......I believe so......

[eleganz]

Good thing we have Trump's compassionate use act so Rand can use that hydroxychloroquine and get well soon.

Rand is getting relentlessly attacked by deranged libtards wishing he dies because "voted against corona stimulus funding".

These are the morons you are siding with when you attack Rand Paul from the base.

[Ender]

No it did not work. Otherwise the Fed would have increased rates and reduced the liabilities on their balance sheet which they didn't. They just delayed the crisis until today!

Have you not learned anything?

The can was kicked down the road.

Exactly!

Trump: 'Rand Paul is a great friend of mine. He's always been there when we've needed him'

[nobody's_hero]

I wonder how long he's had it. With his recent history, he's definitely one of the high-risk patients I've been preaching about on the COVID forum that we healthcare workers are most concerned about. From what I'm seeing in the ICU he's going to need every bit of lung capacity his body can muster if he ends up with a serious case throughout the next 14 days.

It's not just an "old person" virus. It's your next-door-neighbor virus. It's a people-you-know-and-love virus.

And all ya gotta do, is wash your damn hands and quit partying. But we gotta get everybody doing it. If you think you're the exception, you're the problem.

People are #ucking sick in the head. God I hate social media. Can we just start America over? Maybe this virus is our Noah's Ark.

Hopefully he doesn't get hit hard with it.
