Sen. Rand Paul has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Rand Paul was the only senator to vote against a bipartisan $8B deal to provide emergency coronavirus funding earlier this month.axios.com/rand-paul-coro…
Rand Paul, who has tested positive for coronavirus, attended the GOP Senate lunch on Friday.

He was asymptotic, so I wonder how many GOP Senators came in close contact with him without realizing they could be infected?

Cut the bullshit. No one is claiming that Rand Paul went to the gym *after* learning his test results, but that he we spreading his coronavirus germs all over the gym, pool area, and god knows where else, while waiting for his results –– which is a major dick move.
Rand Paul's Chief Strategist, @dougstafford, on March 16: "So people can’t eat out but can go to the gym where they expel bodily fluid and touch things other people just touched. Ok."
.@RandPaul got tested SIX OR SEVEN DAYS AGO but continued going to Senate lunches, the Senate gym, the Senate pool, and wherever the hell else he hangs out, exposing staffers, security guards, waiters, coffee baristas, and god knows who else to coronavirus.

In mid-Feb, the WHO warned that global demand for medical safety gear was 100 times higher than normal, prices were 20 times higher, stockpiles were depleted, and there was a 6 month backlog. Despite this, the US government made no effort to submit orders. apnews.com/6d9382c1e8ee36…
Trump's trade policies haven’t helped. Tariffs on medical supplies made them more expensive, and they were only lifted on March 5, even though health care associations asked the Trump administration LAST YEAR to exempt items like masks, gloves, and gowns.

NEW: US intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in Jan and Feb about a likely global coronavirus pandemic as Trump and GOP lawmakers called the virus a hoax and failed to take action that might have slowed its spread and saved lives.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
By January, “the system was blinking red” but “Trump’s advisers struggled to get him to take coronavirus seriously.”

Azar spoke to Trump about the virus on Jan 18 but “Trump interjected to ask when flavored vaping products would be back on the market.”
“US intel reports painted an early picture of a virus that showed characteristics of a globe-encircling pandemic that required governments to take swift actions to contain it.

But Trump continued to play down the threat coronavirus posed to Americans.”washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Tonight’s @seanhannity Thread.

@LindseyGrahamSC we have the #1 economy in the world, of all the places in the world to provide Quality healthcare America is the premier spot on the planet and we’re going to stay that way.
.@LindseyGrahamSC The #CoronaVirus is treated like a plane crash. The flu is treated like a car crash and that’s exactly how the media has treated it. The plane crash “coronavirus“ gets a ton of coverage. The car crash “flu“ gets no media coverage.
.@LindseyGrahamSC says the Democrat’s response will be something that grows the government. @realDonaldTrump’s reaction will be to create a partnership between the government and the private sector. America’s power is in the private sector.

This thread is dedicated to #coronavirus / #Covid19 information. The full name is "2019 novel Corona virus", shortened to 2019-nCoV & Covid-19. Its name comes from the crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus that resemble flares in the sun's corona.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic diseases, meaning that humans become infected by animals that have the disease. Scientists speculate that #Covid19 may have originated from Chinese bats or ant-eating pangolin. It is possible the virus crossed multiple animals before infecting humans.
Dozens infected in the #Covid19 outbreak worked in a Wuhan animal market, but tests of #coronavirus samples from the market have yet to identify a source. The close proximity of shoppers to animals in wet markets has made them breeding grounds for zoonotic diseases in the past.
