Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is self-isolating after his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, developed flu-like symptoms and got tested for the new coronavirus disease known as COVID-19.

I like the terms "self-isolating", "self isolated". I guess that is what my first wife would do, which also apparently required the slamming of the bedroom door, when I won a disagreement. Of course, that only happened about one in a hundred disagreements.

I heard Bruce Willis say in an interview, back when he was still with Demi of course, "What with Demi, three daughters and their nannies I have won an argument in that house in two years".
