It really puts it in perspective that a world leader can get this coronavirus. Stay safe people, and continue to follow guidelines from the experts.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has spent the night in intensive care at a central London hospital after his coronavirus symptoms worsened.
Mr Johnson, 55, has been given oxygen but has not been put on a ventilator, cabinet minister Michael Gove said.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has been asked to deputise for the PM. Arriving at No 10 on Tuesday, he said the prime minister was "in very good hands".
World leaders have sent messages to Mr Johnson wishing him well.
The prime minister, 55, was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital with "persistent symptoms" on Sunday evening and moved to the intensive care ward on Monday at 19:00 BST.

He'll be fine, nothing to worry about.
We have it from a couple of "experts" on here who say that it is no worse than seasonal flu!?!?!

Despite the "expert" opinion I still worry, Boris has to recover from this.

He's not going to be back to work any time soon, you don't spend this long in intensive care without needing a goodly recovery time.
The Cabinet need to extract digit and work out who takes over. Can't afford to have a vacuum at the top.
