“He expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends and will continue to work for the people of Kentucky at this difficult time. Ten days ago, our D.C. office began operating remotely, hence virtually no staff has had contact with Senator Rand Paul.”

This marks Paul as the first U.S. Senator to contract the coronavirus.
President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence also recently got tested for the Chinese coronavirus after reports emerged that both interacted with individuals who later tested positive, but results for both came back negative.
Predictably, deranged Democrats are celebrating Paul’s unfortunate diagnosis.
