Either its just because it is made public immediately or it seems lots of senior ministers etc around the world are getting this.

Lots of politicians are going to get this and pass it on to their colleagues. There must be full disclosure when it happens. It will help end stigmatization.

So out of 156 people with the disease in Australia, one is Peter Dutton and another is Tom Hanks.
Pretty sure the actual cases are way bigger, or that is some coincidence.

58 new cases in the last 24 hours in Australia, 22 new cases in Japan...?

Since Trump doesn't seems to plan to be tested and is US citizen, self-quarantine should more accurate. The CDC, use quarantine when there suspicion (Trudeau case : tested negative but do not want to take the risk to contaminate other) and isolation when tested positive (Dutton case).

If you speak UK english do you know if the same differentiation apply ? I rode stuff from UK where the distinction did not seem to exist and isolation seems to cover the 2 but I do not know if it was a mistake or normal.

He should change his mind soon enough, I guess.

Wow, this is more serious than I thought! And just when I thought they were really starting to get this under control. I mean I hope that the testing of these leaders are part of getting this under control, because if not, I’m really worried now!

Like others have suggested, tRump is only worried about re-election.
Now he can put all his efforts into campaigning because he actually has to work. No more rallies and no more vacations at Mar-Lar-Go.
The current idiot in the WH is to ignorant to get tested! He is now infecting other government officials and no telling how many more people. Remember when stared at the sun during the eclipse. You can't fix stupid!
This is the perfect metaphor for the tRump presidency!
