Three different GOP senators told CNN that Paul was in the gym with colleagues this morning and several pointed out how close the Kentucky senator had sat to others during Senate lunches in recent days.
“This is a different ballgame now,” one Republican senator told CNN.
Senate Majority Whip John Thune, of South Dakota, said on the Senate floor that senators will be seeking medical advice.
“We’ll consult with the attending physician here at the capitol about appropriate measures for those of us who have been in contact with the senator, but this is the kind of situation that Americans across the country are dealing with right now and it underscores the importance of acting immediately to deliver more relief for the American people,” Thune said.
Sen. Mitt Romney, of Utah, echoed similar concerns to reporters.
“All the senators are going to seek medical advice as to what action we should take to make sure that we don't in any way spread this virus ourselves,” Romney told reporters. “We had a lunch together with Rand, and hope he's doing very well, but we have to determine whether any of us should self-quarantine as a result of being in the same room.”

Сенатор Рэнд Пол (сын того самого Рона Пола) заболел Ковидом. Она пока в удовлетворительном состоянии, но республиканские сенаторы очень сильно забеспокоились - они до последнего с ним общались. А ведь многие в возрасте, это Рэнд относительно молодой.... Представляеете, если в Сенате и Конгрессе начнется мор? Забавно, что только Пол выступал против выделения денег для компенсации бизнесам. Он последовательный либертарианец. Умерла так умерла. Одновременно против демонизации России и внешних авантюр. Колоритный дядька.
