COVID-19: Wishing Senator Rand Paul Another Speedy Recovery

Several years ago, Senator Rand Paul was wished a speedy recovery when he was assaulted by a neighbor over political differences. Now Senator Paul is being wished a second, speedy recovery.

Today this afternoon, Senator Rand Paul announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19. He is the first US Senator to test positive in a viral pandemic that has sickened over 300,000 people and killed nearly 15,000 people worldwide. So far, he is feeling fine.

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.

Senator Paul’s diagnosis should serve as a reminder to all of us that we need to do our part to avoid the spread of this contagious disease. The more we work together and take personal responsibility, the more we can do our part to end the virus’ spread while protecting our civil liberties.

So wash your hands thoroughly (30 seconds, including the backhand, between the fingers and the fingernails). Stay home as much as possible. Work from home if you can. Cough in your elbow, and avoid touching your face. Never go out if you feel sick. If you feel sick and you’ve traveled internationally or have come in contact with someone who has COVID-19, seek medical assistance. Together, we can beat this thing.
