In a statement, Cruz said he met the man 10 days ago at the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Oxon Hill, Maryland. The Texas Republican said he’s not experiencing any symptoms and feels fine and has been advised by medical authorities that the odds of transmission were extremely low.

Yet, Cruz said, out of an abundance of caution he will remain at home in Texas until a full 14 days have passed since the interaction. He said medical authorities advised him that those who have interacted with him in the last 10 days should not be concerned about potential transmission.

Seems like he is setting a good example. But how the heck is a senator supposed to do his job while being in isolation?

Maybe this GOP yutz shouldn’t have voted to cut CDC budget 65%. At least he has health care… while millions lose theirs.

“Conservative Action Conference” Sounds like a Republican gathering. Maybe they should check what they did to this country in the last 3 years. Republican Voters (Senators) are older men over 65. They are the main target of this TrumpVirus aka Democratic Hoax.
