He is a doctor (of optometry), right?
He has more training than the typical volunteers, no?

Opthamologist. There's a significant difference.

Huge difference. Five years of school and training difference.

Good for Mr. Paul.

Does he have immunity to the virus now?

I was talking about this yesterday to Mrs. Phibes - the crisis seems to really have brought out both the best and the worst in humanity.

There have always been assholes. The internet gives them a megaphone.

Can't seem to find what, if any, symptoms Paul had. Was he sick, or just tested positive?

I know I was an asshole long before the internet.

AFAIK, he just tested positive. He did the test after attending an event where two people came down with the virus, and was concerned, since he had had part of a lung removed earlier.

Yes, but now we all know. Cultural exchange is broadening.

The “optometry” bit was wrong.
Rand Paul graduated from Duke with an M.D. degree and did his residency in ophthalmology.

Which is, basically what I pointed out.
