Link??

EasterElf · 27/03/2020 11:20

What’s the source?

Bojo1 · 27/03/2020 11:20

If anyone gloats at this then they’re scum, quite frankly!

SebandAlice · 27/03/2020 11:20

Sky news

Watercoloursky · 27/03/2020 11:20

He tweeted about it 4 mins ago: twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1243496858095411200 Still intends to lead the response via video link etc.

PuppyMonkey · 27/03/2020 11:20

He’s posted a video on Twitter.

Baaaahhhhh · 27/03/2020 11:21

BBC Alert message.

Funnily enough I thought he sounded as though he had a cold yesterday.......

SouthWestmom · 27/03/2020 11:21

I just heard this. It's news but we don't know that he is unwell with it.

viccat · 27/03/2020 11:21

They are talking about it now on BBC News channel, for anyone asking for source...

Kuponut · 27/03/2020 11:21

It's on BBC News channel now as well.

Thoughts are with Larry the cat who is now stuck with the human.

HoffiCoffi13 · 27/03/2020 11:21

Wishing him, like everyone else infected, a speedy recovery.

Eireni · 27/03/2020 11:21

Just flashed up on my phone from a BBC News alert.

It’s so, so wrong that my initial response was a schadenfreudesque cackle, but it was.

AnneLovesGilbert · 27/03/2020 11:21

I hope Chris whitty is okay. And Carrie.

Kelsoooo · 27/03/2020 11:22

Anyone gloating about this,is quite frankly sick in the head.

Sparklingbrook · 27/03/2020 11:22

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

PatricksRum · 27/03/2020 11:22

Hahahaha

Honeyroar · 27/03/2020 11:22

He said as put clapping last night, so probably isn’t that bad. Don’t some people not have symptoms anyway?

EasterElf · 27/03/2020 11:23

It’s almost like his virus containment strategy wasn’t good or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aquamarine1029 · 27/03/2020 11:23

I hope he, and everyone, recovers quickly.

LuxuryWoman2020 · 27/03/2020 11:24

I thought he looked unwell yesterday but thought it was probably work/stress. I hope he gets well soon. It’s possible those remaining few who think they won’t get it take it seriously now the prime minister and royalty have it.

Krisskrosskiss · 27/03/2020 11:24

Oh my goodness tho he couldve given it to loads of people in parliament! Hes been out loads!

TankGirl97 · 27/03/2020 11:24

Oh dear, I hope he's okay. His poor partner, what a scary time for her too.

MiracletoCome · 27/03/2020 11:24

Hopefully no one will ask why he was tested and others aren’t

Hope he gets well soon

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 27/03/2020 11:25

It says "mild symptoms" at the moment.

I hope he recovers quickly and that Carrie and the baby stay healthy.
