Seeing Boris: a rant

Britain's Prime Minister. Boris Johnson, has Covid-19 and is self-isolating.

This statement has been issued from his official residence at No 10 Downing Street. London:

Number 10 is not doing contact tracing but has advised that if anyone feels ill after seeing the PM they should self-isolate.

Well, that's one way of clearing the streets.

(Poor Boris!)

Word To Use Today: isolate. This word comes from the Italian from the Latin insulātus which means made into an island.
