The fatal delusions of Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson believes that post-Brexit Britain is an exceptional, “world-beating” power. Yet it has proved itself incapable of fulfilling its most basic responsibility: keeping its citizens safe.

I wonder, is this attitude spreading in England?

People wear masks, people don't wear masks. it's down to personal choice and it isn't up to us to lambast others who exercise that right. The exception to that of course is where the law states that wearing a mask is compulsory, such as in the UK on public transport. To be fair, whenever I've been out I haven't seen one example of anybody criticising somebody else for wearing/not wearing a mask, which is how it should be.

I don't know what the law is in that particular state. Still doesn't excuse the guys vitriol response mind.

Hospital figures - 39 the announced total for the day, up 24 on yesterday and down 2 on last Tuesday. 36 were in English hospitals, up 21 on yesterday and one down on last week. It’s now 26 days since hospital figures were in triple digits

The rightwing populist has often defied local guidelines to wear a mask in public, even after a judge ordered him to do so in late June.

Over the weekend, Bolsonaro attended several events and was in close contact with the US ambassador to Brazil during 4 July celebrations.

The US embassy in Brasilia said via Twitter that Todd Chapman, the ambassador, had lunch with Bolsonaro, five ministers and Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo, who is a federal congressman. The ambassador had no symptoms, but would undergo testing and was “taking precautions”, the embassy said.

A photo posted on Twitter by Brazil’s foreign minister, Ernesto Araújo, shows Bolsonaro, Chapman and others sitting around a table, not wearing masks.

I don't like wishing ill on people, but I hope it keeps him incapacitated for a few months so someone who isn't a complete idiot might get a handle on the crisis

Didn't take long to get your answer!

Unfortunately for the sake of others hopefully like Boris he gets properly incapacitated at somepoint and then changes his tune. Absolute horror show of a man.
