Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[killer b]

dude, it's your specialism.

 

[ddraig]

I agree, but it does depend really doesn't it? Some people you definitely shouldn't invite in, or at least keep at an absolute arms length.

My point was more that they may very well be against unions if their posts and apparent politics are anything to go by

 

[The39thStep]

seeing the number of men washing hands in club/pub toilets before lockdown made me realise how many people dont normally do so! Hopefully that will be something that sticks.


we'll never know for sure as whatever versions we may come to hear will be steeped in blaming others and escaping personal responsibility.
what we do know is these Tories are capitalism above all else, and have a penchant for eugenics, so Im perfectly happy to conclude they went with it because they wanted it. The Daily Telegraphs "good for business cull" is the deeper latent ideology at work here.

That's an intersting reply Ska. How in your opinion is this penchant for eugenics informing the Tory governments corona virus strategy?

 

[ddraig]

dude, it's your specialism.

Must be if you say so eh
I don't think someone asking a poster if they're in a TU is quite "someone is trying to demonstrate to him the worth of workers solidarity. " either so some exaggeration on your part there

‘invite in’?

He’s reporting delivery drivers with Covid-19 symptoms being forced to attend work. He's reporting inadequate PPE among DPD drivers.

What’s your advice? Mine is that this needs to be reported and investigated.

 

[phillm]

As someone posted yesterday still not a personal note from Gove - just endless retweets of others 128 characters of concern. 5 minutes of careful thought wouldn't go amiss for his old pal, he could even let Sarah know his password and take a pause from her acres of why oh why articles for the Heil.

But no. He smells the crown within his dirty little grasp as Boris heads maybe towards his last gasp.

Most if not all of em are plain sociopaths and psychopaths barely hiding in plain sight. Don't forget to bring a rope.

I was talking in a more broad sense than the current situation. Fully agree with everything you've said there.

 

[chilango]

What blood type is BoJo?

Blue?

 

[Proper Tidy]

Absolutely agree with this. There's a lot of talk of systemic change for the better as a result of this. Do not bet on it.

Its obviously true that it shouldn't be assumed or taken for granted, and of course the people who want to gut any remains of a social state will still want that. We have to fight for gains, same as always. It gives us a great fucking platform for it though, the moral argument is won and the economic argument is more alligned with capital's own interests than it has been for 70 years

 

[bellaozzydog]

Where’s the temp/first day ICU cleaner porting a Henry hoover about when you need one

 

[Edie]

CPAP, etc etc. Yeah there's a few things some people end up on on first before they de-saturate and end up tubed and ventilated.

kropotkin and Edie and others know more.

He’s on CPAP I read (continuous positive airways pressure), using pressure to keep the small airways open when there’s fluid secondary to inflammation- like in ARDS- in the lungs. If you have fluid instead of gas in the alveoli you significantly impair gas exchange. Afaik you don’t need to have level 3 care for CPAP, so I’d imagine he’s at significant risk of being intubated. And that exhausts my limited critical care knowledge

Gove is self isolating, a member of his family is showing symptoms.

[Idris2002]

One assumes to put over his face.

Johnson would have been safer if he remained in his fridge of invisibility.

Don't you mean his Fortress of Cuntitude?

I hope so. I think that I'm just deflated after the last election.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Yes. It’s a tragedy if anybody dies. No matter who or what they are.

I do hope you're being ironic

 

[SpookyFrank]

What blood type is BoJo?

Tawny port

 

[SpookyFrank]

This is gonna really test the whole rolling news thing. It has to be the main story, and yet there's only likely to be snippets of actual information coming out infrequently for maybe days to come. It's people waiting outside a hospital for a press release about a royal baby all over again.

 

[danny la rouge]

Two tawny ports.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Two tawny ports.

It was a funny joke and it deserved a second airing.

 

[Dogsauce]

Well, she can fuck off. And the horse she rode in on.

I won't wish him dead, but I'm fucked if I'm clapping for the cunt.

if any fucker tries that on my road I’ll have the 700-watt PA out In the front yard playing ‘Celebration’. He deserves no applause for this crisis.

Or for being the leader of a party that has killed alot of people and made many suffer.

 

[Favelado]

Nature is just shaking the cereal box. Boris is in favour of this process.

 

[Petcha]

The beeb is saying Gove is now self isolating... Oh dear

 

[AmateurAgitator]

I love how Gove stated that Boris isn't on a ventilator, which we can only deduce means that he is Lol!

Sarah Vine hopefully.

 

[keybored]

So, he's on a ventilator, then?

When you think about, say if (God forbid, obviously) someone passed away in the night. Speaking hypothetically of course but say if they did... describing them as not on a ventilator would be one quite honest way of describing their condition. Just saying.

 

[Dogsauce]

It was a bit of a shock to me to realize that quite a few people actually like Johnson. The outpourings of grief at Diana's death made me realize just how far removed I am from how other people in the UK feel. If he does die I wonder whether we'll get similar.

a nation “hooked on grief”, right?

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Apparently Boris has a spare breathing apparatus which ofcourse means that someone else is being denied one. Going out in true Tory style!

 

[SpookyFrank]

The beeb is saying Gove is now self isolating... Oh dear

Who's next in line to the throne now then? I presume Raab's already gone to hide in a linen closet with a cardboard box on his head having given his mum strict instructions to tell everyone that he's gone on an important mission to the moon and can't be reached.
