Ron Johnson (R-COVID) attends GOP dinner before test results, apologized for social distancing
and when he got them, he learned he was positive.
The CDC says to quarantine while awaiting test results. He did not have to wait like the rest of us. He found out soon after.
Johnson's camp claims he was always at least 12 feet from people (not sure where the 12-foot "safe" distance came from, it's also being used for debates). He gave a talk, so was spraying spittle.
At the dinner he APOLOGIZED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING, explaining to the guests that he wasn't a "prima donna" so to save his health for his ACB vote.
These people just don't care. Their topsy turvy minds see taking basic precautions as acting like a prima donna. And he's STILL against mask mandates.
He did not attend the Rose-in-name-only Garden Saturday Superspreader.

From the article:
Asked why he didn't self-isolate while he awaited the results of the test, Johnson said he didn't feel that was necessary as he "was going in there symptom-free."
“This was strictly a precautionary test, as I have done multiple times over the last few weeks — going to the White House, going to the Oval Office, being in Air Force One," Johnson said. "This is the exact same thing. I’ve never quarantined after a test, there’s no reason to do so, because I’m not sick. I have no symptoms. I certainly did not anticipate testing positive so there was no reason to quarantine."
Johnson said he wore a mask and only removed it when he spoke at Friday's fundraiser. He said he took precautions to distance from others at the event, which he said he planned to be his last gathering until the U.S. Senate votes to confirm the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I certainly let people know why I was being so distant," Johnson said. "It's not because I'm a prima donna, but I felt it was very important that stayed in a position where I can take that very important vote."
