on one hand, I know that due to the nature of their work, world leaders are often more exposed to others than the average person

but it's still crazy when you hear about a world leader catching it

How much do you want to bet THIS is why he did a sudden 180 on his self-isolation stance this week?

Token effort before he caught it, "YOU MUST NOT LEAVE YOUR HOMES" after he caught it.

You're acting like the white house wouldn't just lie if Trump tested positive.

If old lard Trump had it hed die, so if he isnt dead within a month its safe to say hes safe. Thered surely be an official not fond of him or a reporter whod whistleblow if they noticed he had symptoms too.

So should he be going 'back to work' like he expects everyone else? At the risk of death?

Bigger concern (and pretty much anything is) is how many other he infected with his stubborn idiocy.

Boris should have stopped shaking peoples hands as that is likely how he got it and possibly passed it onto other people.

Trump even stopped shaking hands saying it was a hard habit to break but even he realized it was best to stop.

One of the princes has it too. I imagine they're freaking out right now because that's at least a couple of people that interact with the queen semi-regularly.

While old people are at greater risk, the vast majority of them are still surviving. And while Trump may be in his 70s, he still has the vitality of someone in their 40s which puts him at an even lower risk.

Not sure why the UK gets shit on so much when Denmark is doing the same "herd immunity" strategy as well.

And if you look at Sweden, the Govt. isn't even doing much at all due to how politics is run in the country.
I mean this was just done yesterday...
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/03/27/822463152/sweden-bans-groups-larger-than-50-in-its-first-major-coronavirus-crackdown

Sweden's prime minister announced Friday that public gatherings of more than 50 people will be banned as of Sunday, with violators subject to fines or even imprisonment.
The ban is much tighter than the country's previous restriction on groups over 500, but looser than limits imposed elsewhere in Europe. It amounts to a major crackdown in a country that has otherwise become known for its lenient approach to coronavirus management.
While neighboring Denmark was one of the first European countries after Italy to announce it would close all public schools and daycare centers, Sweden's institutions remain open. The country also hasn't followed its Scandinavian neighbors' lead in shutting down bars, restaurants, sports practices or national borders.
Instead, the country's Public Health Agency has issued a series of recommendations. Anyone with symptoms, as well as those over 70, are advised to stay home. People who are able to work from home are encouraged to do so, and authorities recommend against unnecessary travel both inside and outside the country.
Despite the travel warnings, night trains with shared compartments will reportedly run as usual to popular ski areas during the upcoming Easter holiday.
[...]
Amid some mounting criticism, Sweden's state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell who has become the face of his country's steel-bellied approach insists that the strategy is working, and that Sweden is flattening the curve.
