Boris Johnson's fiancee Carrie Symonds, who is pregnant with the couple's first child, says she has spent the past week in bed with symptoms of coronavirus.

Posting on social media, Ms Symonds said she has not yet been tested for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Mr Johnson is currently self-isolating after contracting coronavirus.

Ms Symonds said on Twitter: "I've spent the past week in bed with the main symptoms of Coronavirus."

"I haven't needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I'm on the mend."

The 32-year-old, who is at least six months pregnant, advised other expectant parents to keep up to date with relevant guidance from The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

7. Well, coronavirus hasn't changed everything ...

"Children 5 or 6" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson

It's "or" because in a court case about whether the existence of the 5th (conceived in one of his many affairs; the other 4 were with his then wife) was "of public interest" and thus could be publicly discussed by the media without it being an intrusion of privacy, the court ruled that it was allowed (he was London mayor at the time), and noted that an accusation of a 6th also existed. And it's said another one of his fuckbuddies had an abortion.

3. Hope they are ok and get thru this epidemic, age is on their side.

Some infections have been known to impact pregnancies like the 1918 Influenza, possibly others but I'm sure they're in good hands medically.

4. I don't wanna think about it but how far along is she?

can a fetus survive in utero? what are the odds of surviving full term and being delivered?

I feel very sorry for that couple, all politics aside...
