Texas Sen. Ted Cruz announced Sunday evening that he will undergo self-quarantine this week at his Texas home because he interacted with a person at the Conservative Political Action Conference who has tested positive for coronavirus.

Cruz said on Twitter that he had only a brief conversation and shook hands with the person. The interaction took place 10 days ago, he said.

Maryland officials warned Saturday that the person who attended the recent conference in the suburb of Oxon Hill had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke at CPAC. White House officials said Saturday that there was no indication either had met or were in “close proximity” to the infected person.

Cruz said that he isn’t experiencing symptoms that are associated with the virus and that medical officials have told him the odds are low that the person passed the virus to him.

1. I'm not gonna' say it.... I'm not gonna' say it.... I'm not gonna' say it.........

2. OK, I will - Special Election

Go Beto!

3. Cruz ain't dying.

He only has five days left of quarantine. Showing no symptoms.

4. and we'll have fun, fun, fun

till the all clear takes this farce way.

19. What does he do when he is in DC?

Like Geotz, he is useless. He could stay home, and convince the rest of the gop to go home, too. Leave ADULTS in charge, THEN things will get done. So far, the gop has had over 3 years of "vacation" with their orange arse in the WH.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. Okay, I'll say it

Ted is a chicken shit. Plain as shit despicable.....

Must be nice to be a member of the prestigious "club" that has done nothing to help the nation with the Corona........and in fact your inactions/lack of actions/indifference have screwed many others while you tried to stay safe.........

He's worried so he decides to take sick days in case he gets it. You have unlimited paid sick days, paid for by the people you and your club just screwed, and the millions of us that you continue to screw with........

If you were like most of Americans, you wouldn't get sick days and would be forced to go to work with all your favorite chicken shit buddies.......

And just keep your fingers crossed that you don't infect all the other chicken shits you work with, many that are elderly.....

And, worst of all, you broadcast the Republican Lies that it all just a hoax by Dems to take down Trump, and there is truly no real problem.

We are yet to see if you have it. Catching it from one of your uber wealthy cronies. Or if you spread it to any of your "club".

Wouldn't that qualify as Divine Justice you wormy little piece of chicken shit.

How is that, Groundloop????

5. If a Senate GrOPer dies from coronavirus, will they finally hold Trump's feet to the fire

on his maliciously negligent hamstringing of the CDC?

[christx30]

11. No. Because his cult still doesn't believe

that this virus is a threat. And if Trump gets it, they’ll want to get it.

6. Isn't the minimum three weeks before clearance or is it even longer?

Just asking.

[Massacure]

9. Nope

Per the Centers for Disease Control, "For COVID-19, the period of quarantine is 14 days from the last date of exposure, because 14 days is the longest incubation period seen for similar coronaviruses. Someone who has been released from COVID-19 quarantine is not considered a risk for spreading the virus to others because they have not developed illness during the incubation period"

[Sgent]

16. We don't know

14 days is based on other Corona viruses, not COVID-19. That said, China just extended the quarantine to 28 days.

[Scarsdale]

20. With the do nothings in the gop,

they could all go home, until the next impeachment "trial", then come back to make asses of themselves once again. None of them know what work is.

17. This is just a hoax

By the fake news media.

[EarthFirst]

22. Someone needs to keep tabs on Cruz while he's back in Texas...

The moment he breaks quarantine protocol; ship his ass back to work!
