Just like that, three of the four key figures leading Britain's response were knee-capped by COVID-19. The fourth - Chief Scientific Officer Patrick Vallance - has no symptoms and has not been tested. He was absent from daily media briefing on Friday, however.

The heart of government is now a hotspot for infections. Besides Johnson, Hancock and Whitty, two more junior government ministers have tested positive, chief Brexit negotiator David Frost is self-isolating after showing symptoms, and some prime ministerial staff have been sent home to quarantine.

Good luck to them and all others who likely weren't observing suggested guidelines of social isolation when they got bit by the bug.
