The world leaders who have contracted Covid-19

Here’s an interesting Statista timeline of political figureheads catching the coronavirus, from Boris to Trump by way of Alexander Lukashenko and Jair Bolsonaro.

Controversial coronavirus tsar accused of playing down pandemic says 'no reason to panic' over Trump diagnosis

Dr Scott Atlas, a late addition to the White House Task Force and apparently an unpopular one with messrs Fauci and Redfield, has been urging Fox viewers not to panic over the president’s health.

“It is no surprise that people get the infection, even with precautions,” Dr Atlas said. “I anticipate a complete and full and rapid recovery back to normal after his necessary confinement period. I anticipate he’ll be back on the road and in full swing.”

GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tests positive

One of this president’s most influential establishment cheerleaders - and Mitt Romney’s niece - has also been diagnosed with coronavirus.

McDaniel was apparently last in Trump’s company on Saturday, when he unveiled Amy Coney Barrett as his nominee to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court…

…but, according to White House spokesman Judd Deere, the conservative justice is safe and sound.

“Judge Barrett is tested daily for Covid-19 - she has tested negative. She is following CDC guidance and best practices, including social distancing, wearing face coverings, and frequently washes hands,” he says.

Kamala Harris tests negative

The Democratic nominee’s running mate has been given the OK this morning and joins Biden in expressing generous sentiments towards Mr and Mrs Trump.

Ivanka and Jared Kushner both test negative as Donald’s symptoms said to be ‘mild’

The president’s beloved daughter and her husband have both been given the all-clear, joining the likes of Pompeo, Pence and Mnuchin in breathing sighs of relief as a White House official tells the AP the president’s symptoms are so far only “mild”.

Ivanka has naturally joined the chorus of conservative well-wishing.

Nancy Pelosi says Trump only has himself to blame for coronavirus diagnosis

Speaking to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle just now, the House speaker said the president’s conduct has been "a brazen invitation for something like this to happen".

She also said her prayers for him have “intensified” and that she herself was tested this morning - and it came out negative.

Here’s John T Bennett with the latest.

Steve Mnuchin tests negative

Like Pence, Trump’s treasury secretary is also off the hook.

Joe Biden wishes Trumps well

The Democratic nominee responds to today’s news with a gracious message, which, as we’ve seen, is a marked contrast to Trump’s own loutish reaction to Hillary Clinton getting sick in 2016.

This is also very gallant from the director-general of the World Health Organisation, a body Trump has attempted to smear and discredit, along with China, in his search for a scapegoat for the global pandemic.

How the internet reacted to Trump’s positive diagnosis

Twitter has of course been a festival of schadenfreude this morning, with more memes that you could count.

This is a personal favourite.
