'You can get the virus and you can still be fine' BBC 1xtra's DJ Ace, on the waiting list for a new kidney, wants to share the message that high-risk people can recover

"It's because my condition puts me in a high risk and vulnerable category, so I've been advised not to go back to work for now.

"I'm just putting this video out there for people who are like me who have underlying health issues to say you can get the virus and you can still be fine," he adds. He says he's"not scared" of coronavirus - and agrees with Ace that the most important thing is to follow official advice.

How come he been tested? When they not even testing people in hospital unless they seriously ill I never heard such bullshit funny how all these stars get a test but nobody else does. 2tierSystem COVID19Pandemic LiesLiesLies DontBuyChinese DontBailTheBanks Bullshit

‘Higher risk people are being strongly advised to follow social distancing rules’ So is everyone! The implication of this is potentially damaging.

'you might not die', what an inspirational message, I'm sure everyone's so glad you took the time to create this article.

I'm glad he's fine. The way this is being reported can make people take the virus and measures LESS seriously though

You can but no one should be under any illusion that you will be fine, its best not to catch it all.

May God Bless and Keep You!!! TrinaFulk1

Coronavirus: UK measures having 'big effect' on social contact - BBC NewsUK's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance says measures being put in place are 'making a difference' Coronavirus latest: BBCScotlandNews Can we have medical summaries post govt briefings and not political summaries. This is a medical crisis, not a political one. But no clarity on testing and equipment. No details. They should at least provide references for us to look at: list of test options, who, where, when? Amazed somebody asked about confronting China about yet another virus. Doubt it. I find it very troubling that these stats just relate to England. I understand that the other parts of the Union have separate powers but surely we should be looking & dealing with this as the U.K. as a whole?
