Coronavirus reaches the halls of power

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has consistently downplayed the risks of coronavirus, announced on Tuesday that he tested positive for Coronavirus.

His wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has tested negative.

The 63-year-old actor took to Twitter on Friday (local time), and tweeted, "Hi guys! I want to make a @Spotify playlist for people self quarantining. Something that might relate to isolation, perhaps? Can you send some song ideas that I can add? Also, what should we call it? Quarantine Choruses? This is what one does in quarantine. [You] think of stuff like this."
