Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[ItWillNeverWork]

Reading all you hoping the most right wing, racist, psycho PM we’ve had for sometime lives and prospers...and I hear a house signing “Virus 1, Boris Nil Hallelujah!”

Fuck him and I hope Cummings dies wheezing for air.

Ooh just listen to the edgelord!

World record rise from obscurity to the top of the shitheap if so.

Last one who suddenly became PM who I'd never heard of before was Blair

Events, dear boy, events.

I think this is going hit a lot of people this way (whether Johnson dies or survives after being gravely ill). Anyone who hasn't really been paying attention, maybe doesn't personally know anyone who has been hospitalised or affected at all, people who still believes it's "just the flu". It's going to be a "shit this is real" moment.

It kind of has with me, not that I wasn’t taking the virus seriously, but makes me realise that Amazon don’t offer more money for the job for nothing (they increased our hourly rate by £2). Penny is dropping that it’s danger money.

What did you think it was before today then?

 

[phillm]

I hope the Queen has finally got the flag protocol fully sorted.

 

[existentialist]

If you spent more energy reading upthread than you do with your eccentric amateur theatrics you will find my comments are correct regarding certain posters hopes of the demise of the PM.

Or not and continue with your bellowing hysterics - as you wish.

You're posting on urban75.us, aren't you? Because you're certainly reading a different fucking web forum from the rest of us, for sure.

 

[Marty1]

What did you think it was before today then?

Partly that but also increased volume (similar to xmas peak).

This put it more into focus I guess.

 

[Kaka Tim]

And still with the bullshit - "preacutinary" intensive care according to BBC/downing street. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

The after the Black Death wages and the standard of living was raised for peasants.

Nope, it's a baby carrot on a stick to keep people working whilst they rake it in.

it would be strangely poetic if he dies and ends up unwittingly saving some lives to make up for the deaths he’s caused

We see that look a lot where I live - it is called 'rabbit in the headlights'

Certainly not at the moment. Not as though there are sparesies.

Christ.

also note how he shakes his head when she asks if he’s confident that the government has it under control tonight...

That's a remarkably good spot

Yes, although I'd say it's fairly poetic already.

He does quite well up until the point he start talking about the care Johnson is receiving. So he started off easy with the Usual Platitudes, and struggled a bit at the point where he had to start parroting the party line, rather than just, like, saying stuff. He knows he's not telling the whole truth. And now, so do we.

 

[bimble]

Well.

PM's move to ICU shows he's likely to have severe Covid-19

Boris Johnson likely to receive mechanical ventilation as he’s admitted to intensive care

www.theguardian.com

It’s a proper cliffhanger.

 

[Part-timah]

Isn’t this a really fucking weird thing to say?....

“ I know him very well so I am deeply saddened really that it should come to this. He has obviously worked like mad to try and get through this but it’s not good enough so far.

It doesn’t mean necessarily that he isn’t going to pull through this because they may have put him on intensive care because they can treat him and he may have a secondary infection, a serious chest infection and that will stabilise him, they can get after it, and get him through this and out the other side quicker in a more stable way.

Let’s hope and pray Boris is in the best of hands and will pull through.”

That’s from IDS.

Yeah, exactly, makes me realise the risk we’re (drivers) in.

Spoke to DPD driver today who said there’s one of his fellow drivers who has almost certainly got the virus, coughing like fuck and sweaty, but still working as he can’t afford to be off work. Fuck.

Yes I believe part of the nervousness in these situations stems from fear of revealing a clue or detail that you know privately but arent supposed to say, or of otherwise being trapped by the questioning.

There was a squeaking noise at the end, I wont ask which part of his anatomy it stemmed from.

Spoke to DPD driver today who said there’s index of his fellow drivers who has almost certainly got the virus, coughing like fuck and sweaty, but still working as he can’t afford to be off work. Fuck.

And that - for the record - is the sort of thing Johnson - and his government - are rightly being castigated for: for presiding over a system which presents quite significant proportions of the population with the unenviable choice of risking infection, or starving.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Among other things, bit of an insight into IDS mind that he's only capable of feeling (mild) sympathy for somebody when he personally knows them

Bet you're pleased you voted tory now then.

Sign of a proper psycho. Knows he should say something kind of supportive, not quite sure how to do it. Probably doesn't even realise how it comes across.

Twats like that usually are. Because to admit otherwise would be to be wrong. And we know that Marty1 hates to be wrong. Which is surprising, considering how often he is - you'd think he'd have learned.

He really is a cold blooded little cunt

Isn't this exactly what Trump has been doing in America too? Encouraging people that it's okay, they've got it in hand, and to keep going as much as possible? Even though all the evidence suggested otherwise?

This is the world that the people you hold in high regard have created. One where people can't afford to have a day off when ill. Forget about the chance to fully recover if they have been ill you have to get back to work as soon as possible.
