If you want to know how nCoV can spread and threaten the White House, Trump just needs to pick up the phone to call the British Prime Minister.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has witnessed firsthand the dangers of nCoV, the creepy virus that caused him to be treated in intensive care and made his government tumble in what could be considered a bad time.

The first high-ranking official to be infected with nCoV in Westminster was reported in early March, when British Health Deputy Minister Nadine Dorries announced his positive for the virus and had to quarantine himself.

A few weeks later, a number of key British team officials who responded to Covid-19 were positive for nCoV or had to quarantine themselves, including Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Cabinet Secretary Michael Gove.

Although no one claimed that these cases were directly related to the Vice Minister of Health Dorries, the conduct of the British government at the time raised many questions about compliance with the community segregation rules of the

The White House is also facing similar questions after a need for President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary was infected with nCoV last week.

Many Downing Street officials revealed in early March that Prime Minister Johnson's advisory group still considered Covid-19 an issue abroad and did not seem to believe it could attack Britain, let alone the agency.

"They see it as a distant threat, a Chinese problem. They don't think it will attack England, let alone the possibility of attacking them," an official on Downing Street said.

Others complained even though the number of employees working at 10 Downing Street reduced from about 250 to 70, the principle of community isolation still could not be followed.

Downing Street has strongly denied this claim and said it always adheres to strict medical and scientific guidelines.

Many experts say Prime Minister Johnson's story is a "label lesson" for Trump and Pence that if you are not well, you cannot steer the country through the crisis.

Dominic Raab was the one who ran the government when Prime Minister Johnson treated Covid-19, but it was clear that the British Foreign Minister could not have the full authority to make the most important decisions, according to Rob Ford, a professor of politics.

"The issues that the cabinet usually discusses have been essentially 'frozen' for a month until Prime Minister Johnson returns to work," Ford said.

This creates a power vacuum in the government headquarters.

When Prime Minister Johnson recovered, the sympathies were now turned into indignation and many critics pointed to the mistakes of the government.

In the weeks that followed, the government was accused of irresponsibility for slow national blockade and failure to conduct extensive tests.

The lesson here is clear for Trump, who spends much of his presidency focusing on the economy and is criticized for placing economic interests on people's networks, even as the United States leads the world.

Trump has been accused of sending bewildering messages on a variety of issues, from masks to unverified claims about the drug people should use.

"It could create a big problem for their future work. If the public thinks their leadership behaves irresponsibly in the early blockade, why should they continue to believe in

The British government is still trying to regain a month they missed in the fight against Covid-19 when Johnson was ill.

"Looking at the age of top leaders in the US, the nCoV attack will be a big disadvantage because we all know which group of people is most at risk. The possibility of chaos is obvious if you look at it.

In the case of the president's inability to lead, die, resign or be dismissed, the country's leadership will be transferred to the vice president.

According to CNN commentator Luke McGee, while this scenario is still far away for Trump and Pence, they should also observe what happened across the Atlantic before continuing as if nothing had happened.
