You’ll have seen by now that Nadine Dorries has become the first government minister to test positive for coronavirus.

But despite the health minister testing positive – and attending a reception at 10 Downing Street last week – prime minister Boris Johnson will not be having a coronavirus test.

A Downing Street source says Prime Minister Boris Johnson has no coronavirus symptoms so there is no need for him to have a test

I refuse all tests on principle, just in case it is a ploy to get my DNA for a paternity claim. https://t.co/ZCCKbzmK2U

Correct me if I'm wrong, – but Medically Speaking, I think this is 'BOLLOCKS' ?

If Patients were only infectious when they displayed Symptoms, we would NOT be in this situation ?

I don't understand . As usual, I invite an explanation from experts because I am NOT an expert. But shouldn't as many people as possible be tested – especially people with a known contact – but also random tests – to establish precisely what is happening in the population? https://t.co/V5TKn9UQvl

To conclude, this.

Keep deferring pls and we can have the most dramatic, British thing ever happen and the Prime Minister die after successfully driving the country into a tree. Big ol' plot twist for the end of Brexit Season 1. https://t.co/3tKXn0nzpz
