LONDON — Boris Johnson’s spokesman says the British prime minister is stable and responding to treatment for the coronavirus in the intensive care unit of a London hospital.
Not ashamed to admit that I am cheering for the coronavirus in this instance.
BoJo survives, and yet John Prine is gone…
WTF, FSM?
“standard oxygen treatment”
Maybe he read Josh’s post yesterday
Glad that the British Trump is stable in ICU…
(Is there is facetious emoji?)
Those 200 ventilators must have helped him have peace of mind…
Those 200 ventilators ARE desperately needed by Americans
AND was sent by the Covidiot Stable Genius who campaigned on America First
BUT turns out, it is ME/MyCrimeFamily/CriminalCronies & BFFs first!
Obesity is a huge contributing factor to virus deaths. Just saying, Boris.
Well, he has a ten-year-old somewhere, plus his fiancée is due to deliver a baby shortly.
He also has four adult children, but that’s a slightly different matter, I suppose.
If he’s stable in ICU, one alternative explanation is that he’s taking up a bed that someone sicker needs.
He may be holding his own but he will never be stable.
You are correct he is taking a bed for those who are infected because he Trumped his people and should be out on his own.
Yes, it is sad that he has successfully reproduced.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Remains Stable In ICU
So I assume this means he hasn’t fallen out of bed.
Or it could mean the headline-writer forgot to include an apostrophe.
Trump will have the most stable remains.
Depends where you put the apostrophe
As befits the most stable genius.
You should think twice about this.
Under his regime the UK is offering full salaries for those who cannot work during the virus. He has beefed up the NHS. And as Josh Marshall here pointed out, he has completely disavowed Thatcher’s “Society doesn’t exist.” The policies are designed to help the people, no the bigwigs. In other words, more liberal than our government by a long shot.
Remember he was one of the leaders who were mocking Fat Donald at the last G7 meetings …
Every conservative is a Keynesian in a crisis. BoJo is a uniquely malignant charlatan intent on destroying our closest all in service of his personal power. Screw that guy.
I don’t cotton to the posters who hope he croaks. But it is interesting that while the God of Hubris brought BoJo low, a 93 year old woman steadied the country. It’s no endorsement on my part of monarchy, but she probably saved the monarchy after Andrew’s monstrous harlequinade. Queen Liz actually turned a wrench repairing military trucks in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Forces in WW II, so she knows a crisis when she sees one, and knows how to react: with calm and resolve.
I agree there–the Queen is admirable, still intellectually curious and one of the most beautiful speakers in the world.
As for Johnson: Just remember, before the Covid-19 crisis the Johnson government had already raised funding levels for the NHS, which he personally praised at the time, and after the crisis began the Tories immediately paid the salaries of laid off or newly out-of-work employees. His actual policies are more liberal than ours here.
Compare the US. Today I read of an American man who is staying put with his family in Kenya because he found the US response to the virus so fear-inducing. After all, Kenya issued the stay at home order AND overnight got the manufacturers to switch over to making masks and other medical equipment.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/the-kenyan-factory-that-transformed-into-a-surgical-mask-assembly-line-overnight/2020/04/08/fac04912-783e-11ea-a311-adb1344719a9_story.html?commentId=004d9a72-096e-40de-9cc5-c2ce69c909bb&outputType=comment
