What Donald Trump can learn from Boris Johnson as coronavirus cases found in White House

CNN  

London CNN — If President Donald Trump needs reminding of how easily the coronavirus can spread in the workplace, he need only pick up the phone and call his friend Boris Johnson. While no one is tying any of these cases directly to Dorries, the British government’s behavior around this time has raised legitimate questions about how carefully social distancing measures were being observed by those surrounding the Prime Minister, and how seriously Westminster — a small village which relies on close personal contact — was taking the outbreak of the virus. Sources inside Downing Street have told CNN that in early March, advisers to Johnson were still treating coronavirus as a problem happening overseas, and didn’t seem to believe that it might hit the UK — let alone the heart of government. Others complained that even after cutting back on-site staff from around 250 to 70 inside the small rooms and corridors of Number 10’s offices, social distancing simply wasn’t possible inside Downing Street and they feared that Johnson’s political advisers were putting the health of civil servants at risk.
