Side note as we track many flouting CDC regulations: When GOP Sen. James Lankford learned he& #39;d been exposed to COVID positive Sen. Lee, he literally *drove across the country alone* to maintain quarantine.

The response of Lankford, who holds an MDiv and worked in student ministry, is notable when compared to Trump officials as well as so many faith leaders.
Note: Per CNN, Lankford has been spotted in the past wearing masks when others refused to do so. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/15/politics/donald-trump-middle-east-agreement-coronavirus/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/1...

And to be clear, Lankford was quick to disclose his quarantining publicly (to us here at @RNS, and then later via Twitter).
He also disclosed his intention to keep quarantining despite the negative test result. https://twitter.com/SenatorLankford/status/1312409354902138881?s=20">https://twitter.com/SenatorLa...

(Updated this thread to note the kind of ministry Lankford, who is Southern Baptist, performed in the past.)
