Prince Charles Tests Positive For Coronavirus

Prince Charles, the Queen's son and the first in line to the British throne, has tested positive for coronavirus. He is now self-isolating in Scotland. Prince Charles, who is 71-years-old, is the first British royal to test positive for the virus. His wife Camilla has tested negative for the virus. They are self-isolating together at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The statement from Clarence House reads: “The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus. He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual... The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus. In accordance with government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland. The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing... 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.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Gives $1 Million To Buy Hospital Supplies

The former governer of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has donated $1 million to a fundraiser raising money to provide surgical masks and other medical supplies to San Francisco's health department. A GoFundMe account set up by Flexport.org also showed that actor Edward Norton donated $10,000 to the cause. The goal of the GoFund me is to raise $5 million in order to quickly put medical supplies in the hands of healthcare workers. As we all know, there's a growing shortage of masks, gowns, and critical supplies at hospitals. Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted, "I never believed in sitting on the couch and complaining about how bad things are, I always believed we should all do our part to make things better. This is a simple way to protect our real action heroes on the frontlines in our hospitals, and I’m proud to be part of it." He also said, “Our doctors, nurses and hospital staff are the real action heroes of this crisis. I just play one in the movies. We have an opportunity and a responsibility to provide them with personal protective equipment right now to keep them safe as they fight this virus, so when I heard about Flexport.org’s plan, this was a no-brainer to me.”
