Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Why would he lie about it?

He looks ill to me.

I'm probably over cynical but it would play well for him to get it and recover quickly, Putin type stuff.

Genuinely hope he's ok BTW

 

[dublinbluenose]

Hope his dad Stan dies with Boris the racist prick.

HOLY MOLY

He’s probably developed Pneumonia, happens 10-14 days after initial symptoms.

Probably smoked lots of cigars in his time.

He's also male 55 and overweight. I said when it was announced he had the virus that he was higher risk

People weren't surprised about Charles/Johnson et al getting tests - they were just highlighting the obvious; the inherent unfairness of society where one life is valued over another.

I have no issue with Johnson being taken to hospital when he's ill - I do however have a problem with them lying about his condition, at a time when "regular Joe" is being told not to go near a hospital if they're "mild" and certainly not "as a precaution".

I agree to an extent but this isn't just a British thing. Any world leader or head of state anywhere in the world would get preferential access to care.

I dont think theyd have taken Johnson to hospital unless he genuinely needed treatment. So its probably serious enough.

HOLY MOLY

The world will be a better place.

Hopefully ReesMogg gets it as well.

 

[Mr. White]

Not to be questioning things.

But aren't we told not to go to hospital until we absolutely have to?

If boris is just going for a check up then he is essentially doing the opposite of what we are being told to do.

He'll be going to a private hospital. Different rules apply.

Whether we agree or not, it's a bit silly to suggest the PM won't be taken to hospital if he's ill.

Same goes for any head of state or senior figure in any government.

The narrative about prince Charles was just bizarre. He got a test because he's their to the throne. Why were people surprised ?

The issue isn't that he is going to the hospital, its that they are saying he is being taken there for "tests".

The man is probably in a bad way; there is no need to tell mistruths. However they will be doing that anyway.

If hes in hospital he also cant run the country and will probably have to give control to whoever is next in line.

What about his 4 or 5 or 6 kids?
Pretty sure Mogg would be a super spreader

Corbs must be gutted if so - he was a day away from a hat-trick.

Dominic Raab. Can you even imagine it.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yep. Hes not going to be going to the hospital unless its completely necessary.

Raab chairing the cobra meeting tomorrow.

 

[peteblue]

Should I cheer that the head of my government said this yesterday?

No, not yours....

 

[Tigger]

Hope his dad Stan dies with Boris the racist prick.

Come on Mooms ya don't need to sugar coat your feelings here.
