Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[platinumsage]

Raab at the 5pm press confernece was very perfunctory: "He's still in intensive care but he continues to make positive step forwards and... he's in good sprits"

 

[cupid_stunt]

Have you seen the threads about the Queen and Prince Philip?

Yes, urban at it's worst.

 

[shifting gears]

Great slip up from Raab: “I know these restrictions take their dole.... err toll”, must’ve been poring over the figures all day with his head in his hands

 

[platinumsage]

Raab admits he hasn't had any contact with the PM since he was admitted to hospital.

 

[keybored]

If his worst point was in ICU on oxygen but not on a ventilator, and he's currently in ICU on oxygen but not on a ventilator, you have to wonder for how many more days he can "continue to improve" while remaining in ICU on oxygen.

Well he must be sobering up at least.

Raab admits he hasn't had any contact with the PM since he was admitted to hospital.

I shoud hope not. There is a blanket no visitors policy for patients with COVID-19. And if the PM is sick enough for a ICU bed he's not going to be on Skype either.

brought me down off a bad trip once, had a soft spot for it even since
(should point out i wasnt sitting around taking acid and listening to the beatles - it was on a passing radio

Was it walking past when it doffed it’s cap and said, “Good morning Mr Ska”, by any chance?

and exposes the lies of previous days about him staying on top of things, precautionary, tests, blah

Yes...that as well

It wasn't a million miles away from this

He's been pickled in alcohol, they've left him on a cage trolley in a barrel in a corner of the icu

Raab admits he hasn't had any contact with the PM since he was admitted to hospital.

...without the services of a medium

That's not very Churchillian.

 

[platinumsage]

Well its nearly 5pm and it doesn't sound like he has sat up today, although as has been said above, this might be the improvement being alluded to by the spokesperson

Also need to be aware of the distinction between “he sat himself up” and “someone adjusted his bed”

I never studied politics so I'm not really too attuned to these governmental subtleties

If the worst comes to the worst we can go a bit North Korean and make Johnson our Eternal Prime Minister

We'd need to compile some of his uplifting aphorisms for the posters

he probably just shat himself and his spin doctors made the most of it.

 

[N_igma]

They’ll have his head in a glass like they did in Futurama for his first appearance when he gets out.

 

[frogwoman]

"This is going to be a fantastic year for Britain '

Let's get this done.

"Angel of Mine" would be a suitable one for an eternal PM

"
My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters"
seems apt

 

[Doodler]

The Tories could put Johnson in an induced coma as a 'precaution' before reviving him on Easter Sunday.

Good plan.
The first half of it anyway

"It's important to keep shaking hands."

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

He’s out of intensive care now

god help us all

If he continues to improve much longer he'll be Superman by the time the weekend's over

 

[Flavour]

Italian media reporting that he's out of ICU (but they often report these things before confirmed)
