Pope has Corona virus?

Vatican quarantined.

That’s what I just heard.

Where did you hear that? The only news I was able to find was that he's cancelled a couple of events, and that he's had a runny nose and cough.

If he did, I imagine he'd be pretty high risk. He has had lifelong lung issues.

Seems not true. Heard two people talking about having heard it on the news.

I did post it with a question mark....

I did notice the question mark, which is why I asked what the source was.

The story sounds plausible, given the Italian outbreak and the fact that the Pope meets so many people. I did hear Dr Jen Aston say yesterday that the coronavirus tends to hit the lungs and the common cold is more of a sore throat/runny nose thing.

So his runny nose is probably a good sign that it's a nothingburger...
