Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[kenny g]

It doesn’t work because coming from a right wing cunt like yourself, it would never be funny. What is funny is how the fuck you've managed to stay on here for so long without getting binned off.

Leave Marty alone.

 

[two sheds]

Leave Marty alone.

Put him down, you don't know where he's been?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

BREAKING: Chief Medical Officer self-isolating after experiencing symptoms

Has he not been tested then? Even the CMO can't get a test

 

[Ax^]

Leave Marty alone.

Id rather he leave us alone

 

[SpookyFrank]

Given your form on this forum I'd not be in the least surprised.

Why, is Johnson your dad? I'd have said he was at least half a century too young but what do I know?

Johnson probably doesn't know either tbf.

 

[Marty1]

i wish him dead

Isn’t there a chant for that?

NOT - MY - PRIME - MINISTER!?

Or something like that.

 

[Ax^]

Hopefully he managed to infect Patel as well

Common humanity seems to be beyond the comprehension of left wingers.

I get your point but have heard that the Conservatives are the new left due to their massive absorption of Labour votes in the last GE.

Not sure what you could characterise the remaining left now as tbh, but yes the vitriol from this camp is without boundary it would seem.

 

[Ax^]

and he wonders why 99 % of the board think he is a cunt

this is his idea of left leading ideas being a Tory




Boris and his team got tested before front line NHS staff

that should be the fact remembered in all of this

 

[Ax^]

you know it was only yesterday that Boris's Government allowed the Brave and fucking essential members of NHS

the Blessing of not having to pay for parking outside the Hospitals they are working at

the Tory party is the new left

Not to mention the fact that Boris and co voted AGAINST nurses' pay rises.

 

[Ax^]

They should take Boris out of his number 11 resident to protect his unborn child and place him in a bed in the new Nightingale Hospital alongside Matt Hancock and Whitty.

lets see how your own policy works for you

It was later clarified that he talked to her via Skype. But, as you know, he lies about literally everything so there is every chance he went.

His mum has Alzheimers and has lived in a nursing home for years. I doubt she knows who he is, or is able to speak.

 

[extra dry]

I wonder if Boris will go private?

If? Of course he will.

 

[brogdale]

This lot have not been following their own advice.

 

[Chilli.s]

Following medical advice loads of people have been advised that a test is sensible. So where are the tests.

Why is Kuenesberg's article on the BBC headlined 'PM's diagnosis is a shock' when the first line is 'maybe it was inevitable'. Honestly

It's not been a shock, not in the slightest after the way he was carrying on.

Does Kuenssberg base her articles on any actual facts, or is it simply a case of picking what’s perceived to be the most effective propaganda nonsense and stringing it together in terms the simple minded can best understand?

This gem jumps out:

There is no information that suggests the country's senior scientists, who are at the forefront of the effort to combat the virus, have taken ill.

No evidence, except the widely reported case of Prof Neil Ferguson who tweeted on 18th March that he had it. Probably others that I don’t know about too.

Maybe what Laura means is “no evidence I’m willing to tell you plebs about, because that would constitute doing the job you believe I’m doing (informing you), rather than the job I’m actually doing (promoting the government’s agenda).

 

[Chilli.s]

Kuenssberg is a terribly overrated hack

 

[Riklet]

It's clearly an airborne virus partially so no need for him to have shaken hands etc, just being around people for the past 2 weeks would be enough.

Im sure he'll be tested, given antivirals and other treatment. Monitored extensively. Contact tracing done. Rest of us won't be so lucky.

His mum has Alzheimers and has lived in a nursing home for years. I doubt she knows who he is, or is able to speak.

She certainly won't know who her grandchildren are...

Corbyn now furious demanding coronavirus for the many not just the few.

You idiot.

 

[SpookyFrank]

What a vile comment.

You do know Johnson's plan for all this was to let hundreds of thousands die right?

Link?

'Common knowledge' isn't a web page.

Johnson failed to take any protective measures at all for weeks, failed to provide enough testing, or enough PPE for hospital staff; all on the grounds that it was better to let the virus romp through the population unchecked. The models on which he based this strategy predicted 250,000 to 750,000 deaths as a result of it.

What utter rubbish.

Is Sweden looking to have huge numbers of its population die with its approach to this pandemic?

Sweden and coronavirus

I know this has probably already been mentioned elsewhere but it might be an idea to have a separate thread so we can track if it is successful or not. Sweden has become a global outlier in its approach to stopping the coronavirus. Rather than imposing a lockdown like most of Europe, the...

Sweden is a little behind us on the curve and will almost certainly get locked down within the next week.

The press are going to continue to back Johnson no matter how badly he fucks this up aren't they? I know I see Guardian and independent lefty media links on social media exposing just how hamfisted all this has been from the government, but most people aren't going to see that stuff. The main message from all sources has been 'we have to do lockdown now because you lot fucked up' and the focus will continue to be on the woeful behaviour of people going out in public, which they are allowed to do, and not on the NHS that is, extraordinarily, not getting the basic shit it needs even now.

I wonder if there's a point where all this breaks down. Obviously I hope we never get there, because it would have to be a catastrophe of epic proportions. Thousands of needless deaths won't do it, most likely tens of thousands won't either.

The press think they are finally on the front line and can all at last be hero war reporters. Some of that is the rampant jingoism all in it together shyte.
