Johnson has got the virus, so has the Sec of State for Health and the CMO, so at least the virus has got a sense of humour. So will the Graun go easy on a sick man, even if he only has 'mild symptoms'.No way. The told you so impulse is far too strong:
'Nonchalant': Boris Johnson accused of Covid-19 complacency
Despite urging the nation in a solemn broadcast on Monday evening to “stay at home” where possible, Johnson continued to carry out his parliamentary duties [reckless bastard] ...Prof Susan Michie, director of the centre for behaviour change at University College London, said: “Those in leadership positions should practise what they preach....[yes matron] ...Dr John Ashton, a former regional director of Public Health England, said: “The government has been too slow to act on this, and they’ve been slow as individuals. I was surprised to see prime minister questions going ahead this week – it was clearly unnecessary [what else of Parliamentary democracy does he want to scrap] ....Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh, said: “Leaders need to lead by example. It wasn’t a good thing that he was telling people that he was going around shaking hands [right at the very start] and being quite nonchalant about the virus.”
What a bunch of nincompoops. There is still this total failure to understand stoicism, black humour, self-mocking resilience, a wish to clam up and not alarm others, anything other than a hand-wringing moral superiority, self-publicising emotional vulnerability, and support for a patronising mode of address to plebs.
