The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has tested positive for the coronavirus, and leftists online are celebrating his test result.
Boris Johnson announced on Twitter that he was displaying mild symptoms of the coronavirus – a temperature and a persistent cough. “On the advice of the Chief Medical Officer, I’ve taken a test. That has come out positive,” Johnson said, adding that he would now work from home and self-isolate. “But be in no doubt that I can continue, thanks to the wizardry of modern technology, to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fightback against coronavirus,” he continued.
Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.
I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/9Te6aFP0Ri

Unsurprisingly, many leftists were absolutely ecstatic that Johnson had tested positive. Some simply expressed joy that he had it, while others openly wished death on him:
I'm glad you have the coronavirus.

To offer a counterpoint to this, I would definitely like to see Boris die of coronavirus https://t.co/stBTCrKpEF

National File reported earlier today on Nazifa Zaman, the chair of the University of Warwick Labour Society, who tweeted, “Pm got covid? Happy Muslim women’s day again!” One friend replied saying that Johnson’s positive result shows that their “dua,” the Islamic term for “prayer,” has been answered.
Some wondered aloud how Johnson had been able to obtain a coronavirus test so quickly, when most ordinary people are not able to obtain one for themselves:

So how come he gets a test when most people can't?

Wow, I thought you only got tested if admitted to hospital?

They conveniently forgot that it might be relevant whether the leader of the country is infected with the disease, a fact that others gladly pointed out:
He's the leader of the country, you absolute spoon.

Others decided that now was the perfect time to bring racism into the discussion:

And one thought that the whole thing might be a huge conspiracy:
This will be a controversial tweet.
But who really believes Boris has #Coronavirus ?
Could the British Gov have a hidden motive for the claim?
Problem is he lies so often it is hard to tell!— Scotland’s Story (@80_mcswan) March 27, 2020
