"Atlas coughed. Just as Ron Paul calls coronavirus a hoax, Rand tests positive"

"Republican Rand Paul, has tested positive for the coronavirus, his office announced on Twitter Sunday, this is just a few days after his cult like father declared coronavirus a hoax.

"He is the first Senator to test positive although because of his actions more Senators and staffers are likely to become infected.

"The Republican who was literally named after the Queen of greed worship and selfishness continued to attend the Senate gym while he was waiting for a test. As a Doctor, the Republican would have been fully aware of the consequences of doing so.

"Rand Paul is likely to be a high risk patient for coronavirus. In 2017 a local resident fought with him and put him in hospital. The Republican needed part of its lung removed.

"As a diseased Republican, Senator Paul is likely to have been a super-spreader. He is a fluffer for the Trump cult and he is a regular on the Conservative circuit. Hundreds of other Republicans could be infected, sadly so could good people like staff, cleaning staff, staff who work for the Senate and more. Paul was the was the only senator to vote against a bipartisan deal to provide $8 billion emergency coronavirus funding earlier this month.

4. Libertarian ideals, if you ever read it through, its quite cruel.

Remember when his father ran for president and one of his most loyal staffers became sick? I am sure Rand will never see the light about Medicare for All. His ideology is perfectly ok with other people dying.



That same freedom, which Paul referred to in the debate, complicated Snyder’s health problems, as a preexisting condition made insurance premiums too expensive, according to Snyder’s sister. After Snyder’s death, Paul wrote on his website: “Like so many in our movement, Kent sacrificed much for the cause of liberty. Kent poured every ounce of his being into our fight for freedom. He will always hold a place in my heart and in the hearts of my family.”

5. I was wrong.

I fully expected a clip to turn up of Rand himself calling it a hoax.

Still close enough for half a cigar?
