gardenmom5 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 did anyone else see this? considering they were still going out and making public appearances, I'm not really surprised. maybe it will help skeptical brits to take it seriously.

Lady Florida. Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I wish him well, I really do. He's in a high risk group so I hope his case is mild and that he recovers. However, I'll bet he didn't have any trouble getting tested, while ordinary folks around the world are fighting to get tested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A friend who practices homeopathy said she isn't surprised he is still out and about. She says the British royal family uses homeopathy, so of course he is all better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I saw it this morning. A bit of a stir that he tested on the NHS in one of the papers but who knows. He is isolating which is what is important......believe Camilla had pneumonia not that long ago so I hope she doesn’t catch it from him.

To me, heads of states, presidents, pm's and such should be tested regularly. I wish him well as a person. To be brutal, however, he is expendable in constitutional terms. I don't see a reason for special treatment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand the need for heads of state to be tested (which technically he is not yet). There are people in many countries, including the UK, who meet the criteria yet get turned down for testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I wish him a speedy recovery. The article I read said he last saw the queen on March 15, so I hope she’s okay. It was also pointed out that his symptoms met all the criteria for testing, though I wouldn’t be surprised to learn his results were expedited with urgency. I would imagine she wasn't exposed to him after he contracted it. from my reading - average incubation is five days. (1/100 is more than 14.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This part stood out: "It is not possible to ascertain from whom the prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks." Um, so much for social distancing, huh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking that London is a crowded place and H&M were flying across the atlantic to attend events and were in venues with tons of people and it could not be good for the elderly queen and charles and camilla's health. Charles has an active lifestyle and that will help him bounce back faster and he has tons of space in his country houses to isolate himself in. Hope the Queen and her husband are safe because their age puts them at high risk. I think that these are the types of situations when being a member of the Senior Royals gets one perks (like ventilators if they are in short supply, personal physicians, first dibs on new vaccines and drugs etc). It might even work when one has quit their Royal duties and moved to Vancouver because their brother is slated to be future king, but there are no guarantees on that!
