The novel coronavirus that is holding the citizens of the world hostage is continuing on its destructive path affecting 549,298 and taking the lives of 24,871 as of the time of this writing.  The most dangerous pandemic in modern history is indiscriminate in its rampage affecting rich, poor, pauper, royal, good, evil and any other way you can segregate.  The latest to have gotten the disease is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson has written on twitter "Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus. Together we will beat this.

It is more important now for readers in India to follow strict social distancing and staying at home and practicing hygiene by washing hands regularly with soap.  It will also be good if the regularly used spaces such as doorknobs, taps, handles and other items be disinfected as well.

Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.
