Raab was spraying cough particles all over Johnson during their last parliamentary session, so that's probably where Johnson got it.

At least he takes it seriously.
Trump would never admit he even had it if he tested positive and would keep pushing to reopen the country for businesses.

On the contrary, my concern is that him being able to continue daily briefings (if only via video link) and end up fighting this thing off, will contribute to complacency and feed into the thicko's who want to downplay all this.
I will stop short of actively wishing him harm here, which I think is for goulish freaks, but this is absolutely concerning for reasons beyond his own health.
Boris video conferencing? good job he had all those one on one technology lessons with that American lady.
He will still be because everything was still open until 7 days ago and even on the weekend people flocked to the parks and other public spaces.
My sympathies go out to those who he has been in contact with (moreso than they usually do)
I feel like this is an underrated first post.
Fair enough but we were at a different point of the epidemic. Not like he said this, within the last few days.
Not sure, I imagined him looking like the Mekon, but Brundlefly is probably a better fit.
Yep, that is exactly what I am worried off. He will have better heath care than what millionaires get and will most likely recover well.
I do feel he will think it's just a flu and try to carry on like it's nothing serious.
The point is he should have taken this more seriously much earlier and not in the last few days when it's already late and it's now spreading everywhere.
We're only at this point of the epidemic this quickly because he said shit like this. A lot of the cases popping up now will have been infected back when he said things like this and downplayed the whole thing and are just now showing symptoms.
Well I didn't vote for him and I think he's a massive cunt, but I still hope he recovers. I'm not about to wish death on somebody like some lunatics on here happily do.
Just hope he didn't pass to anybody too vulnerable. If the PM has it, doubt that's the last case in Parliament too.

Private testing has definitely been available for a while now. See the abundance of politicians, royalty, and celebs that know they have it already.
It's only us plebs that have to live with the "not knowing until you are obviously sick enough to have it" process.
Yeah, Idris Elba was confirmed positive without symptoms.
Would it? No matter how awful he is, a president dying is going to send the country into further chaos and then we have Pence anyway.
Saw a bit of his video on the news just now - fever and a persistent cough.
Part of me thinks if Trump got it and died from it, it would make people start to take it seriously and implement measures to minimise risks elsewhere.
But another part of me knows it would just be spun into a thousand conspiracy theories blaming China and the Democrats, and would somehow escalate misinformation campaigns.
You are chanting for a father with another on the way to die? I think you need to seek some help.
