Just announced also that it's mild so hopefully he'll be able to ride it out.

Still running Govt from self-isolation in Downing Street.

I suspected this might be the case when it was announce Rabb would be in charge if Boris was unable to lead for a time period.

There is now 3 leaders of the G7 running govt from self-isolation locations - Boris, Trudeau and Merkel.

Well, same as everybody else that has it - I hope he recovers quickly.

I have sympathy for anybody that gets this virus but I must admit I am not happy that Boris and Prince Charles have been tested after only showing mild symptoms.
If any of us have mild symptoms we are just told to self isolate and won't be tested. I don't care who they are as a reason for a test.

I wonder how many he has passed it on to?

Er, Boris leads the country (I agree with you on Charles, though).

personally i wouldn,t care if if i couldn,t be tested . prince charles was tested maybe maybe not remember though he's with old and vunerable people - health workers and other essential people need it more than anyone else - me and the missis are effectively isolated anyway and if we got it they would soon know if hospitalisation was needed

however if some one ends up in hospital with a broken leg or appendicitis they become in the vunerable group .
there's no need to test everybody just the essential group

Fùck Boris, his life is no more important than anyone else's. If we get mild symptoms like him, no test but self isolate. Him its different. There will be idiots out there now saying fùck that to that advice after this.
Supposed to be a shortage of tests which is why they can't test those in the NHS but enough tests for the likes of Boris and Charlie boy with mild symptoms.
