"We need to be getting this virus done"
Just awful words. Desperately looking around him to find someone to tell him the answer.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment at all, but isn’t it ‘getting the virus down’? As in suppressed.?

It was an easy mistake to make given the berbling incoherent rabberlings we were submitted to in that press conference.

You nailed this - he really does do that doesn't he? Like if he looks around hard enough someone might turn up and rescue him from the self-inflicted hell he's living in.
Word from friends in Westminster - some of whom work with people who brief him - is he still has to nap in the afternoon post-Covid, is absolutely hating the job because he thought it would involve nice photo ops and it actually involves a pandemic that's killed a million people and is flat broke due to all his children and messy divorce(s).

The incompetence is reaching truly staggering levels.
This morning, a junior minister on breakfast news couldn't answer whether those subject to new lockdown measures in the north east could meet in groups of 6 in a pub garden. She didn't know - which went down badly, but isn't that surprising given the new guidance is confusing and everyone knows this government is generally pretty incompetent.
However, with the PM set to give a speech at lunchtime, with questions from journalists, how in the world did Boris not know the answer now? Does anyone actually know what the answer is? They've had 4 hours to make sure he has a decent answer to a question that was 100% going to come up and he/they fucked it. What is going on? Who is working in the No 10 comms team. Does Boris have any ability to take on information, or did his team not brief him on this? Whichever is true, it is incredible.

I can't help but think they are going to get rid of him. He quite simply has zero ability for the job on any level - this was about as basic as it gets, and he fucked it.
