Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I'd imagine he hasn't been in close contact with them for some time so should be ok

bollocks like the Prince Charlie one

?

I thought this was inevitable and ultimately society will develop herd immunity and the symptoms will weaken over time as has happened with standard flu?

(To be clear I'm not saying we should be aiming for herd immunity)

Pericles

No need to be rude

Until you realise that Raab is due to step into the breach.

Raab...

I seem to remember reading that Dominic Raab would take over if Johnson was incapacitated. So let's wish him a speedy recovery! He says he is currently still in charge.

Really awkward when Boris checks in to a private clinic

Raab...

True. However, I've never seen someone dissolve themselves in their own sweat, live on TV.

So glass half full.

He says he is currently still in charge.

But Rishi's vibe suggests otherwise. I don't think it's a problem, I don't see the point of Boris at the moment. I don't think he's adding anything.

Raab

don't think he's adding anything.

Really think Carrie is the only woman he has impregnated in the recent past?

Was Rishi not brought in by Johnson and Cummings because Javid wouldn't do what he was told? The new spending plans sound very much like a Cummings plan.

It is necessary to be rude about most politicians.

But the Pericles story is not offensive -it is an informative comparison.

It has been said that although history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme.

Tx :)

And they posted another one, WTFFFFFFFFFF fighting this nonsense is so time consuming.

Sunak is interesting, he was relentless pre-election as the fact free spin-foghorn, his reward was his elevation to chancellor when Javid unexpectedly turned out to have a back bone.

That he then displayed competence and looked 400% more prime-ministerial on TV when next to Johnson was, I suspect, a very nasty shock for Bozza.

I'd expect Sunak to be sealed into a lead barrel and dropped into a deep sea volcano the second that C19 starts to drop away.

Has anyone had post in London recently? It's just occurred to me that I've not seen the postie for a week...

Hah, that image reminds me of the fate of the villain of Roger Rabbit :)

Yeah I'm still getting letters

How come Charlie Windsor and Johnson have no problem getting a fucking test anyway?

Kuenssberg:

But until Thursday last week, the prime minister was appearing at a press conference on a podium, certainly much closer than two metres away from other people very critical to this effort: Chief Scientist Sir Patrick Vallance and Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty.

Sad face palm.

I see mine walk by pretty much every day from my desk, but haven't really gotten any post recently. But generally don't get much anyway.

Boris Test

I hope we all remember that ill health is quite a common end to a prime ministerial career:

Eden, resigned 1957 (after the Suez cock up). Lived another twenty years.

Macmillan resigned 1963 (after Profumo and many other problems). Died at the respectable age of 92 in 1986.

Wilson resigned 1976, died 1995.
