Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Sunday that he shook hands with a man now confirmed to be infected with the novel form of coronavirus during a recent interaction at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
In a news release Sunday evening, Cruz said that based on medical advice he had received, he did not believe there was any current risk of him developing the disease, which has already infected more than 100,000 people globally.
“Last night, I was informed that 10 days ago at CPAC I briefly interacted with an individual who is currently symptomatic and has tested positive for COVID-19. That interaction consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake,” Cruz said.
GOP Rep. Paul Gosar (Arizona) has also self-quarantined. While the name of the infected participant hasn’t been released officially, it’s started to circulate that it’s a Dr. Alan Berger, a Jewish dentist who was involved in the Cruz campaign in 2016. He’s been hospitalized.

Ezra Levant and other Rebel newsies were glad handling there also. Makes one wonder
Unfortunately the corona virus hits the US in the midst of an election campaign season.
All the front runners are over 70.
VP candidate selection could be very important.
Re: ” that it’s a Dr. Alan Berger, a Jewish dentist who ”
I’m not sure what being Jewish has to do with it.
Get your tinfoil hat ready, we’ll soon be hearing from those who think it’s the only important word in the descriptor.
I’m a raging anti-Semite, that’s what it has to do with it.
He was also one of the infected persons at AIPAC, and led Cruze’s Jewish Leadership Team. I suppose that’s why I mentioned it.
“Jewish.” Yeah. Just like Mike and Bernie. When did he serve in the IDF?
As soon as Berger is well enough to endure interrogation, start asking him some tough questions, and insisting on honest answers.
Even money says he’s screwing a Chinese intelligence agent.
Meanwhile Canada’s Liberal government, propped up by NDP, is fighting the corona virus by introducing a ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy.
