A few months ago we predicted the world coming to an end – either by devastating climate change or by World War 3. No one would have expected that humans would be taken down by a completely unexpected enemy.
Coronavirus cases have been increasing at a rate that’s just getting faster with each day, and now with half a million cases and 25,000 deaths – it seems like it’s not going to stop any time soon.
In breaking news, British PM Boris Johnson has been found infected with Coronavirus.
First world leader to be infected, finally
He posted a video of himself on Twitter and said that he’s going into self-isolation, although he’ll lead the government in response against Covid-19.
He is the first major world leader to have been infected by the virus. Other fascist leaders like India’s Narendra Modi, Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, USA’s Donald Trump have been managed to evade the coronavirus for now.
Here’s his Twitter video
In his video, he said that he has “high fever and a persistent cough” – two of the most common and easily identifiable symptoms of coronavirus.
I am working from home, I’m self isolating, and that’s entirely the right thing to do.
He will be self-isolating at his home in Downing Street, although he is still going to be working on the crisis management on behalf of the government.
But be in no doubt that I can continue, thanks to the wizardry of modern technology, to communicate with all my top team, to lead the national fight back against coronavirus
His office has assured that he’ll still be the leader of the government’s action team, so there isn’t going to be any relief
A spokeswoman from Downing Street commented on the situation: “After experiencing mild symptoms yesterday, the Prime Minister was tested for coronavirus. The test was carried out in No 10 by NHS staff and the result of the test was positive.
“In keeping with the guidance, the Prime Minister is self-isolating in Downing Street. He is continuing to lead the government’s response to coronavirus.”
How far the Coronavirus has really gone?
Earlier, Prince Charles of UK has also been tested positive with COVID-19, along with many other famous people and celebrities from the film and sports arena such as Sophie Trudeau, Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, Kevin Durant, and so on.
The virus has spread to 199 countries as of now. With 3-4 million untested cases in India as speculated by Indian doctors about which the Indian government is living in absolute denial.
