Rand Paul's colleagues are calling him out after he went to the gym after testing for coronavirus

Two of Sen. Rand Paul's colleagues in the Senate are calling him out after he reportedly refused to isolate himself after testing for the coronavirus.

Paul, a Republican from Kentucky who later tested positive for the coronavirus, continued to go out in public and used the Senate's pool and gym after being tested, according to Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat from Arizona, said on Twitter that while she has "never commented about a fellow Senator's choices/actions," Paul's actions were "absolutely irresponsible."

"You cannot be near other people while waiting for coronavirus test results," said Sinema, who has been outspoken about the need for social distancing to curb the effects of the coronavirus epidemic. "It endangers others & likely increases the spread of the virus."

Matt Gaetz publicly criticized Senator Burr last week for trading stocks after a CV briefing. This could get good. Infect each other.
