Wife has just told me.
I wish him well.

At least he'll take it on the chin.

 

[Wozza]

I assume he's isolating from all his kids. Still.

Stay away from the misses

Sorry, but refuse to believe a word that comes out of that guy's mouth. Has all the hallmarks of a strategic move by Dominic 'Let The Old People Die' Cummings. Any chance of an independent medical second opinion? Thought not.

All the best to him. Hope he recovers fully and quickly.

PM Boris Johnson tests positive for Coronavirus

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52060791

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus, Downing Street has said.

Mr Johnson has mild symptoms and will self-isolate in Downing Street.

"He was tested for coronavirus on the personal advice of England's chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty," a statement said.

He will still be in charge of the government's handling of the crisis, the statement added.

The test was carried out at Number 10 by NHS staff.

In a tweet, Mr Johnson said: "Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government's response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

"Together we will beat this."

Mr Johnson was last seen on Thursday night, as he clapped outside No 10 as part of a nationwide gesture to thank NHS staff.

There are more than 11,600 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, and 578 people have died.

Crikey.

Nobody is immune from this, no matter who you are. Clearly the 'happy birthday' x2 wasn't a great success.

Erm, shouldn't this be on the 'Good news' thread?

 

[nicko31]

You really have go to ask yourself how large the infection rate is in the UK now?

So who is in charge if BJ is out of action?

 

[vegster]

Naughty Mod ! … This should be in the Covid-19 sub forum or an addendum to the Good News thread.

You utter ****.

more to the point, we're all gonna get it. im thinking we get prepared for additional hospitalisation, then end isolation to get it over with.

Rabb, although Johnson is WfH.

 

[Driver8]

How come he was tested? Shouldn’t he just have stayed home and self isolated?

Clearly ignored his own advice on washing hands and social distancing.

Same as before

 

[birthofanorange]

You utter ****.

Dear, oh dear.

Still Cummins.
