In a plot twist for the U.K, the man leading the response to the Coronavirus now has the Coronavirus. According to 10 Downing Street, PM Johnson tested positive sometime over the past 48 hours and will remain isolated within 10 Downing Street. It is unclear how long he may have actually had the killer bug.
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.
