Leisa Walker-Denmark said: “Well I have my own thoughts on this. I have been isolating because of a very tight chest, shortness of breath and slight temperature and sore throat. No prolonged cough and of course with no testing for mere mortals without hospitalisation I don’t know if I’m just under the weather or it’s Covid-19. But I certainly haven’t gotten over it in 48 hours or so. After a week I still don’t feel right. I feel for anyone with symptoms and of course those that have lost their lives.

Julie Clarke said: “I hope your symptoms don’t get any worse and you come through it safely.”

Al Edmondson said: “Parliament will have it after being in the room two metres apart then group walking after it's done with the coughing lady in tow.”

Barbara Stewart said: “I think anyone who was in the House of Parliament possibly has the virus or does it just seems to be a lot of government and MPs are infected.”

Gillian Wallis said: “I wonder how? All working in the House of parliament still meeting up, have they not heard of video conference?”

Susan Kent said: “Get well soon.”

Sarah Jones said: “They should all be self-isolating - not in parliament in close proximity.”
