Another article about this says he has no symptoms and was not around anyone infected. But of course he gets tested. I am so sick of these asymptomatic politicians, celebrities, basketball players and rap artists getting these tests when you constantly read about poor sad sacks with fever and cough denied the test.

unfortunately, these asshats in Congress have a goldplated medical plan that the vast majority of us don't have, and thus won't see what the vast majority of us are going through. I'd like to offer him good health, but for some reason, I don't think he would reciprocate in kind for me and others or those that have CV now.
