Rand Paul getting tested but not caring about others is the epitome of libertarian selfishness

He felt he needed the test because of concern about his own health, especially his lungs, after he found out two people at an event he attended tested positive for Covid-19.

But he chose to show ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN for any of the people around him, including all the people he worked and socialized with while awaiting test results.

And he did this even though many of his colleagues are older and at greater risk than he is.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the selfish bastard felt that if he's going to get coronavirus, so should all the people around him.

He is faking it and did so to knock Romney into isolation so he can't vote with Democrats on the upcoming relief packages. There's a lot of money to be had and dirty tricks abound when that is the case.

Let's see - their idea would be that those who get sick from exposure to him, will choose not to get near him in the future. Problem solved!

The reason there are rules and regulations is because of assholes like him who do not consider others - even when it is matters of life and death.
