While most of America remains on lockdown to flatten the curve of coronavirus’ spread, you might expect people to pull together. Times of crisis can often bring out the best in people, and give Americans a chance to emphasize unity over partisan differences.
But all the top tweets on Twitter suggested Rand Paul deserves to have coronavirus.

I don’t know if I’ve ever loved karma more than I do in this moment
Hey @RandPaul — bet you change your tune now, you [f***ing] twat.
Take care of your #COVIDー19 at home, you worthless POS.
Hardworking Americans need those hospital beds. That’s the price you pay for trying to screw us over.

Rand Paul may have caught coronavirus, but the senator can’t seem to catch a break.
While serving in the United States Senate, Paul was shot at in 2017 by an unhinged Bernie Sanders supporter wielding an SKS rifle and Smith and Wesson handgun. Later that year his neighbor assaulted him and gave him several broken ribs .
