This seems to hit a lot of famous folk considering we are a country where the vast majority of us are extremely ordinary.

Displaying mild symptoms and took the test at the advice of the chief medical officer.

I'm guessing that him being the leader of the country means he ģets tested and looked after asap.

He tweeted a video not long ago. Says has a temp and cough. But is now self isolating and is still working from home.

Because they are getting tested or can afford to pay for a private test I suspect.

Pretty sure being leader of a country bumps you up the priority list... :dozey:

Since Dominic Raab* is the PM's "Designated Survivor", can we all pray for a speedy recovery? :D

Yes, because the only notable thing about Boris Johnson is that he's famous. :rolleyes:

Get a grip.

Media driven obviously

Big news if someone 'important' tests positive, but not so much interest about Alice Bodworth (62) of 17 Bishops Lane, Harrogate

If by “important” you mean the person empowered to sign off on all the emergency planning necessary right now, then yes, it is bigger news than Mrs Bodworth, whose illness (regrettable though it is) does not carry the risk of further complicating our national situation.

I'm not being specific about Boris Johnson - I'm including Idris Elba, Prince Charles etc.

It's a disproportionately high number I'm sure everyone would agree. Pointing to a far wider problem in the population at large.

Re: Coronavirus

If he was showing symptoms do you not think it a good idea to test him as seen as he could infect the entire government!

There really are some dweebs on this site, you know who you are.

An infected NHS worker could infect most of a hospital.
