Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky on Monday defended his decision to not self-quarantine while he awaited the results of his coronavirus test, a move that has been met with criticism and concern after he announced a day earlier that he had tested positive for the virus.
"For those who want to criticize me for lack of quarantine, realize that if the rules on testing had been followed to a tee, I would never have been tested and would still be walking around the halls of the Capitol," Paul said in a statement. "The current guidelines would not have called for me to get tested nor quarantined. It was my extra precaution, out of concern for my damaged lung, that led me to get tested." Paul's office announced on Sunday that he tested positive for the virus and that he was "feeling fine," but some senators and aides are angry at him for not doing more to self-quarantine earlier and for potentially exposing senators to the coronavirus. In the wake of Paul's diagnosis, Sens. Mitt Romney and Mike Lee of Utah self-quarantined on Sunday. GOP senators told CNN Paul was in the gym with colleagues Sunday morning, and several pointed out how close Paul had sat to others during Senate lunches in recent days. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas said he saw Paul in the Senate swimming pool Sunday, according to a source in the GOP lunch. Paul is the first senator to test positive for the virus. The senator had attended a major black-tie social event in Louisville, Kentucky, two weeks ago where several attendees have subsequently tested positive, including the wife of Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. His office said he sought to get tested "out of an abundance of caution." Following Paul's statement on Monday, West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito told CNN that her fellow senator's actions concern her because "his office is right next door to mine." Asked if Paul owed other senators an apology, she said she would leave it up to him. "But knowing he had a test outstanding and still continuing to (be in public) -- there's obviously a reason that he got a test," she said. "That causes a question for me." Also among the critics of the way Paul handled himself has been GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said on Sunday and reiterated Monday that it's "common sense" not to expose oneself until the test has come back. "Now, it's not time to beat Rand up -- I hope he gets better. But from this we all need to learn. I mean, this is a case study of I think what not to do between the time you're tested and your results come back," the South Carolina senator said Monday. Graham himself tested negative for the virus earlier this month after potentially coming into contact with a Brazilian official who had contracted the virus. Two Senate sources told CNN on Sunday that Paul's fellow senators are especially frustrated with him because he is also a doctor, and they feel that he should have known better -- noting that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and other members of Congress self-quarantined in recent weeks after being exposed to someone who tested positive. "Furious. Staff too. Everyone," a senator told CNN in a text message, describing the view among him and his colleagues.
最搞的是他去的那个gym 已经关了 ” The Senate gym where Rand Paul worked out today was actually CLOSED as part of the Architect of the Capitol’s Covid-19 mitigation efforts, per email sent to Senate offices on Thursday. Senators had continued to access it via the keypad.” https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1241899836011675650?s=20

Paul attended Baylor University from fall 1981 to summer 1984 and was enrolled in the honors program. During the time he spent at Baylor, he was involved in the swim team and the Young Conservatives of Texas and was a member of a secret organization known as The NoZe Brotherhood.[16] He regularly contributed to The Baylor Lariat student newspaper.[14] Paul dropped out of Baylor without completing his baccalaureate degree,[17] when he was accepted into his father's alma mater, the Duke University School of Medicine, which, at the time, did not require an undergraduate degree for admission to its graduate school. He earned an M.D. degree in 1988 and completed his residency in 1993.[18]
回复 21楼落地无声的帖子 是啊，看完我觉得我是孤陋寡闻了。 不过这段很有意思 When Gerth tried to ask Paul why he claims to be board-certified when he isn't and why he set up the National Board of Ophthalmology, the candidate stonewalled:
"I'm not going to go through all that right now," Paul said while at the Great Eastern National Gun Day Show and JAG Military Show, in Louisville. Asked when he would talk, Paul said: "Uh, you know, never ... What does this have to do with our election?"

楼主只是转帖，你怎么下出同情这个结论的？
抛股票的只有一个是实锤吧，剩下的几个操作资金比例都远小于资产，不好说是故意的，当然这是法律漏洞。。。

他的statement里全是推脱之辞，真是让人无语。
不会吧，参议院100个人，都是5,60大概，70岁，即使都感染，统计上大概最多5个过世吧。
他确诊了没，头条里没看到

有说啊，确诊了
Miami 市长中招了，然后一怒之下，关了所有娱乐活动。
是另一位也是参议员？
wiki就是这么写的，不是秘密。他估计是靠关系进去的。而且看来至少有些医学院在上世纪八十年代并不需要本科学历。
