JOHANNESBURG (AP) — President Donald Trump has joined a growing group of world leaders who have been infected with the coronavirus. Some, like Trump, had been accused of not taking the pandemic seriously, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. A few are sending Trump their wishes for a speedy recovery. At 74, Trump is the oldest head of state to be infected. His age puts him at higher risk of serious complications from COVID-19.
