Today:
Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul
Senator Rand Paul has tested positive for COVID-19. He is feeling fine and is in quarantine. He is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events. He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person.

Asymptomatic and he got tested? How did he swing that? Is this how a Libertarian paradise works?
Thoughts and prayers.
Asshole.
It is difficult to write this reply because I have a severe case of Schadenfreude. I’m treating the symptoms with copious amounts of alcohol. That is helping.
I offer Senator Paul all of the successful thoughts and prayers I have made for all the mass shootings in America.
I recognize we should not politicize Senator Paul’s situation, so I will not draw anyone’s attention to his vote against H.R. 6201.
Can we quarantine Rand Paul forever? Karma can be a bitch and I am pleased it smacked him down a peg.
Yeah, we shouldn’t wish illness on Rand Paul out of spite, but if he were to actually become ill over it, perhaps he would start to take it seriously. That seems to be the only way Republicans admit anything is wrong: when it happens to them.
