LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered more insight into his hospitalization for coronavirus, telling a British newspaper that he knew doctors were preparing for the worst.
Come over here and give it to Donnie boy.
How’s that herd immunity workin’ out for ya?
I’m sure he’s more resolved than ever to kick out those immigrants doctors and start blaming the EU for him getting sick in the first place.
And where is his statement that he apologizes for making light of the virus, that his poor judgement put peoples lives in danger and that had he not acted like a jerk the NHS workers could have spent their efforts looking after people more worthy?
How long before Donnie accuses his buddy of being overly dramatic?
Wasn’t part of the brexit enticement that they’d start opening up their health market? Along with eating chlorinated chicken?
What is it about one’s character that it takes a personal trauma for them to process what seem to me rather basic causal relationships? And why are we choosing these kinds of people for leaders?
At least Boris had the sense to thank his medical team.
Had the same thing happened to Trump, he’d be crowing about how he recovered all by himself, with no help from anybody.
Over and over we see it. The only thing that ever changes the minds of MAGA-types (yes I know he’s in UK) is whether it affects them personally and vehemently.
It’s amazing how a brush with death focuses your mind. It’s too bad it takes that to show some humanity.
Second question is contained in first one.
And vice versa.
Which is the argument I’ve had through all of this with the naysayers.
The naysayers have no one they know that has been in any way affected physically by the virus and certainly have lost no loved ones. Until it happens to them or someone they love, it’ll be a hoax. It’ll be no worse than the flu. The numbers are artificially inflated. Everyone’s lying.
I FEEL that it’s all ridiculous (no basis in fact, but feelings controlling everything).
I posted an article elsewhere from the Australian news channel, channel 7, which gives the timeline of the virus beginning in January. It’s an interesting read. But I’m getting no takers to actually read the article, because they FEEL it’s irrelevant, despite the fact that Australia is starting its phase 2 re-opening process in the next week or so and at least one of their States has had no new cases for almost two weeks.
Irrelevant because it’s not the US. Irrelevant because it doesn’t support their narrative.
Irrelevant, because they FEEL it is. No basis in fact.
But like Boris, at some point, they’re going to be impacted by this. Not sure how feelings will respond to reality.
“They had a strategy to deal with a ‘death of Stalin’-type scenario.’’
Seriously? What an odd choice. I mean, plenty of British Kings to choose from.
As almost all observers acknowledge, the Brexit campaign was thoroughly dishonest. Part of the enticement was a “Brexit dividend,” which they said they’d spend partly on the NHS to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds per week in additional funds.
So … yes, people who believed this sort of nonsense would gladly buy chlorinated chicken if you were to advertise it appropriately – on the side of a bus, maybe.
He would not have survived.
It’s just a cliché, used more in Europe than here.
Naming his child after the doctors was so far beyond any show of humanity that trump could muster. Boris has a shred of decency.
It’s a little early for me to process the recursion, but I think the “vice versa” part you suggest would have to be some kind of critical mass thing in order to make sense. Maybe we’re seeing some kind of herd impunity social phenomenon?
And here I thought it was a reference to the movie.
