The first U.S. senator to be diagnosed with the CCP virus said he wouldn’t have been tested under current guidelines but that he got a test anyways because of a lung that was damaged by his neighbor years ago.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tested positive for the CCP virus, his office announced on Sunday. The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
