Another famous person has caught the chink virus aka bat soup virus. This time it is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Daily Mail:

Boris Johnson has been in close contact with dozens of politicians and health chiefs over the past ten days before testing positive for coronavirus.

The Prime Minister has been holding press conferences at 10 Downing Street with the likes of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick.

He has also stood near Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jenny Harries, Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance.

The three scientists have appeared at the Downing Street press conferences, and have also been meeting other politicians and civil servants across Westminster.

While the PM has held Cabinet meetings and discussions with the Queen remotely, he still attended the Commons for Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday.

The reason why so many famous people are allegedly coming down with the virus is because they seem to be the only ones who readily have access to tests.

The only other alternative explanation to this is that they are lying about having it to promote mass hysteria. While not impossible, it seems unlikely that all these famous people would get together and conspire to lie about being infected.

But here’s the deal, considering there is still limited testing available, and we haven’t seen mass apocalypse level deaths, it is very possible that lots of people have it and don’t know they have it.

I believe this is a problem, but we aren’t talking about doomsday-tier stuff that’s going on. And once again, I’m speaking as a hateful asshole who would love to see billions of people die from the coronavirus. I’m just not seeing that as being the final outcome.
