Even as the country has largely hunkered down, some powerful people in Washington have defied preventative measures aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

Some of the behavior by other officials has drawn rebukes.

Still, despite risk to senators and the fact that gyms across the country have been closed as a precaution, Paul and other senators were able to continue going to the Senate gym, using a keypad for access. Asked about Paul, Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, said people can spread the virus while being asymptomatic, so social distancing is imperative. She noted that she herself stayed home over the weekend when she felt ill. She took a coronavirus test that came back negative.

if you know youre not infected theres no reason to distance

Leaders ? Let them do as they wish. Maybe they will get sick and resign.

One of the few beautiful things about American democracy (LISTEN UP SOVIET BOTS/TROLLS) is that just because we vote for these politicians we abso-effing-lutely DON'T have to follow or like the stupid things they do.

This shows the lack of intelligence of our news outlets. Govt leaders, military, medical professionals, janitors, meal prep workers, police, fire fighters, agriculture workers, and so many more are putting their lives in the line and not sleeping to help others. And you put this

You got nothing else to post but something from a week and half ago? In WHICH fauci schooled y’all about this on national Tv lmao

Some are responsible, some take the, 'do as I say, not as I do' stance while others take the, 'go kill yourself' stance.

So let me get this straight, people who are traveling with the Sect of State get PPE’s while health care workers and high risked citizens can’t get any?! This is definitely a screwed up society. Why couldn’t the state department deal with this via teleconference?!

😥😡🤬🤯😱

SOME?!!?!!!!!!?

Oh for fuck sakes. How about a report about New Yorkers fleeing NYC and spreading the virus?

This is ON Mr tRump! His advice!! Man Dies, Woman Hospitalized After Taking Chloroquine To Prevent COVID-19 The couple ingested chloroquine phosphate, a chemical used to treat malaria that has been touted in recent days by President Trump as a possible 'game changer'

As usual, the media picked on people more than Roots of this viral infection! Sad state of the American journalism! They forgot quickly about Obama’s FBI spaying on Americans, using international opo-research to spaying on presidential nomination! Sad sad sad state of real jour.

Veryspcguy ICC4TRUMP NOW!!!

Supporters are not victims, as some purport but enablers. Will death persuade them? I don't know. The rest must think, do and act in your own best interests as though ineffective leadership were invisible.

Give it a rest

LadyLakeMusic 39 new cases in Kentucky. One person had attended a 'coronavirus party' to flaunt isolation. If aliens put intelligent life on Earth, my bet is they're headed back to start over.

Beginning with donald.

One micro-organism has challenged the way we live, we have to change, break old habits and get into new rut, even become all anew, and be cautious all the time of an extraneous new threat. It ll surely leave us wiser with a lesson, we won't forget 2020 ever & this suffering.

USA had 3,912 suicide notes in the past 3 weeks from job lay-offs, foreclosures, & bankruptcies. Suicide calls up 23% in USA this month. Let’s keep in mind that this is also a mental health & economic crisis as well as a respiratory health crisis.

Really The work of world affairs does not stop for a virus. How many lives could be saved is peace is brought to Afganistan.

All of the leaders have tested negative so this is just pure garbage news

It’s garbage news

And these people are in charge of the bailout? Good grief.

LIBERAL RAG...JOURNALISM

They are immune bc they have money to purchase doctors, tests that average Americans cannot access, purchase medications the average american cannot pay for, so yes they can do whatever tgey want bc they have the money to pay for their healthcare and the average american cannot

I thought things were “very much under control”. Is the coronavirus not “very much under control”?

Because money. Pure greed.

Trump does not believe he has to follow rules. He is Trump, so he is immune to anything that doesn't benefit Trump. He knows that everyone in his administration is scared to death of him and are cowards. He is not a leader of men or nation. Grow up America!😱😱😱

Because they’re rich and they know they’ll get medical and a ventilator at the expense of one of us peasants if they happen to get sick...God Bless America

This article is helpful - or - newsworthy how? Newsflash: It isn't. All this does is inflame those who are already freaking out and does zero for the common good. Grow up. The news has become a political arm and I think we all know which arm.

Or, it’s their essential job and they risk life and limb doing it while you folks sit in your ivory towers tossing out spit bombs.

Senator Paul is at a higher risk for serious complications from the virus due to having part of his lung removed seven months ago. But spread the hate Associated Press will you be happy then ...

Now do Joe Biden and his coughing...

He is the man if the situation. He has handled this crisis with quintessential professionalism.

Biden is the one coughing up a storm. I’d say he’s the menace to society at this point...and to young girls he can’t seem to keep his hands off of...

Ha! You guys just hate that they are leading in this emergency.

More hard hitting stuff from the garbage DNC/AP. Read this story to see how they lie.

They are culling?

Like reporters?😎

Why Associated Press I do believe you are fanning the flames of this Virus. Shame on you

But in the case of Trump, best to ignore entirely. All he's doing is lying, downplaying, and talking complete nonsense.

Test, isolate, lockdown. Do it now.

Another attempt to try and bring Trump's numbers down. You wish AP, you wish!

Bravo RealDonaldTrump WhitEhouse, the Mexican wall will prevent illegal migrants bringing Corona. HILLARYCLINTON

And they need to be charged with crimes

USA will be after Spain in death count.

I want to additionally inform that we assume that this mask, which we called e.-MASK, with further improvement, can help not only in the fight against coronavirus, but also with other viruses and even bacteria, since it works on completely different principles than it analogues.

How terrible for me. Wink wink.

Like Rand Paul?
