Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[Teaboy]

Obviously Johnson's general health before all this isn't public knowledge. What we do know though is that he is obese (likely morbidly so), he is or at least was a heavy drinker and we also know he was <ed: absolutely not> and smoking.

This is not a good starting point.

Johnson goes (dead or incapacitated), and now with Starmer about surely a national government is much more likely?

Starmer will be gutted that he had to wait literally days before climbing into bed with the tories.

 

[Favelado]

Legal team recommends tiny edit I reckon. Teaboy

Fairly sure they won't let him into the ICU

depends on your pov, i'd say it's a rather good starting point if your surmises are correct

you can always hope

I wouldn't say morbidly obese but certainly overweight and clearly a big drinker, with all the implications for heart health, blood pressure etc that has, particularly with men his age.

 

[Spymaster]

Phwoar! Careful.

We know that he's admitted a penchant for weed in his early years but expressly denied having done class A's apart from a one time dabble with Charlie at uni which he insists went no further.

He's carrying the extra pounds on the outside which tends to be the best place for it.

 

[Mr Moose]

He’s already got two members of staff up the stick, so he’s not out of puff yet.

 

[SpookyFrank]

He'd been looking like death deep fried in engine oil for weeks before he got sick as well. And bear in mind before you see him on TV, he's had people tidy him up. That's what he looked like post hair and makeup.

I make his BMI about 34, maybe higher because I don't reckon he's the full 5'9" that he claims.

 

[Smangus]

So is 34 good or bad ? (crosses fingers)

I've seen him in the flesh a couple of times. He's really quite small, probably not much over 5'6".

In my head he's taller than that. He's not completely dwarfed by the surprisingly tall Trump at least.

 

[equationgirl]

Pickman's model please can you edit the teaboy post you quoted as the legal team have made a change to the original?

It depends where the fat is. In my case it was apparently upsetting the functioning of my liver and thereby causing insulin resistance...

This thread is a disgrace. If any of you think it’s amusing to be speculating or anticipating anybody dying of this disease your in the wrong.

Whatever you think of his politics the man is a public servant who caught Coronavirus doing his job. It’s a fucking horrible way to die, and the fact any of you could wish it on anyone is frankly almost beyond my belief.

Entirely depends on whether or not your name is Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson. I strongly suspect even Carrie Symonds would rather have the inheritance and the lucrative book deal than keep him around. Or maybe he's not updated his will yet, which would be hilarious.

He's a terrible human being in virtually every respect. I'm not wishing death on him but likewise I'm not going to be bothered if he doesn't recover.

By his actions he has condemned many thousands to die in that same horrible way. I don't actually want him dead, but absent any realistic prospect of him facing trial for crimes against humanity I reckon I'd be able to make my peace with it.

As for public servant, do me a fucking favour. He was bragging about having shaken hands with everyone in a hospital, covid-19 patients included. It'd be a small miracle if he hadn't caused at least one avoidable death with that fuckwit behaviour alone. His party has strip-mined the NHS with his enthusiastic support. He has failed to protect healthcare workers and many have died as a result. If that's serving the public then the public are better off unserved.

it's just people joking, like you were on the NHS workers thread.

I largely agree, but there would be a certain amount of irony if the man leading a government who for ages at the start of this crisis was perfectly ok with a load of people dying, tough luck, take it on the chin, unlucky, etc, was to die of it, probably through failing to practice what he preaches.

I’m not replying to this or any other justification on this thread cos it’s literally beneath my contempt. In fact I’m taking a break for a while.

Urbanites may wish to use the Johnson defence.

I think if you look at each of every one of those posts ... the quotations have been wrenched out of context in some cases to mean the opposite of what the Urban member intended...comments had been made in a wholly satirical way...

It really doesn't suit you up there you know.

Sorry, I didn't mean to 'like' that. I meant to reply that I kinda know what you mean. Yes, he's an awful person but on reflection I don't wish I death on him.

 

[B.I.G]

Boris Johnson didnt wish anyone dead. They just accidentally died as a result of his actions. Obviously he respects life.

Let him die! And his dad has blood on his hands as well.

I’m willing to come out of the closet on this, I don’t want him to die. But people can take the piss all day long.
