RIP Boris Johnson

the biggest tragedy here is the death parties will need to be held remotely or postponed

for obvious reasons, if the unthinkable happens, I have dibs on "BoJohnsonDeadverdrive"

this is a horrible thread

I agree, we need more optimism.

xpost good to have you cocking it up

the man is a racist, misogynistic, homophobic bigot. The party he leads has continually made decisions designed to make people like me suffer. His denial of the severity of the current pandemic situation has sent a message that this isnt serious and his shamelessness around shaking hands and seeing his family on Mothers Day is a key reason why people arent social distancing - that is going to lead to people making bad decisions and it's only a matter of time before someone I love contracts it and suffers badly or worse. He signed off on a plan that amounted to the Harold Shipman "they were going to die anyway" approach to pensioners and didnt care that these will be people's loved ones because they're not useful to the economy.

The world will not be a worse place with one less hateful, ignorant monster in it.

if he does die it will be easy to show how it is a result of his own actions. It might scare some folk into taking stronger precautions and help protect vulnerable people that I actually care about whose lives are endangered by the recklessness of other people.

if you think about it, dying of coronavirus is really the most selfless act of public service he could perform

So of course he will fuck that up too no doubt

if i understand it correctly, if he dies coronavirus gets to be PM?

It would be terribly sad if our tory cunt of a prime minister who pushed the idea that we should just all go out and get covid so as not to disrupt the economy too much via enacting social distancing measures dies from same.

Pfft at these naysayers - the very best doctors are on the case. Trump opened his press briefing today by announcing he'd dispatched 'two of the leading companies, these are brilliant companies' to go to the UK and help treat Boris Johnson (without naming the companies), and reassured the press that he’s offered a 'complex set of treatments' to Boris Johnson, and that 3 people from drug companies are at his London hospital with 'everything with them should it be needed.'

Let's hope it's not til Friday as I can't afford a nice bottle of pét-nat til I get paid

If he were to pass away from this that is definitely something that would jolt a lot more people into taking Covid more seriously.

On the flip side, there is a very real risk that should this happen he will be replaced with another Conservative, who may also be unsuited to the role and possibly worse

Hell yeah, gonna kill Boris by shooting him up with some mercury leftover from a 19th century syphilis treatment

Heartbreakingly I think he's gonna pull through

if he did die his death certificate should ascribe it to hubris

A funeral service probably the only way to learn how much offspring he has. At least give your kids that ffs.

I’m sure the limit on funeral attendees will thwart any attempt to count children.

I’ve heard 12 including the current oven bun.

say what you like about the man but you can't doubt his commitment to avoiding sensible prophylaxis in all parts of his life

Just living his life.

Now that's more than I would have thought.

I don't especially want to experience what will happen to this country if he dies. Britain does orgies of performative public grief, outrage and stupidity like no other country.

Obviously every human life etc etc and this is a horrifying thing for anyone to have to go through but thousands of people are dying right now as a consequence of stupid complacent decisions made by him and his advisers. And nearly all of those didn't make a public point of going round a coronavirus hospital and shaking hands with all the patients to win an argument.

I would be very interested in who made the decision for him to that.

domcum has been an agent of the kremlin the whole time and saw his chance to snuff out bojo using the 'rona

fair play to the lad tbh

I got a letter from the government dead boris
The other daythis morning
I opened and read itI wanged it straight into the bin

the cumming is culling

Yeah I said this elsewhere but the prime minister sonning himself over a herd immunity beef is just an OD of Events and the national mood is psychotic enough as is

This morning at virtual smoko our CEO asked me and the other Brit on the team if we thought Boris being in hospital would ‘bring the UK together’. Oh how we laughed.

irl lol @ cazino

"I don't especially want to experience what will happen to this country if he dies. Britain does orgies of performative public grief, outrage and stupidity like no other country."

I don't care either way but I'm not seeing performative grief or celebration. People are stuck inside, the funeral will have to be a quiet affair.

Gofundme for emergency flight for the lads in Accra?

lol

bump

Did he die?

yes

maybe, someday

rip

he's still resting fitfully.

this thread will see a great revive
when boris johnson is not alive

To be clear, I don't really want him or Trump or any of their pals to die from COVID-19.

Guillotine in the public square would be much better.

I was looking at some fairly accurate hospital data earlier today and his demographics give Boris right about a 50-50 chance. So there is plenty of room for hope for everyone in UK.

i can't figure out how to make my joke about a 4% swing in the most accurate predictions

Aimless if that’s the data based on COVID-19 vs viral pneumonia in the ICU, 2/3 of the COVID patients in the data are still in ICU. So yes there is a 50-50 split on the remaining third, but the deaths are only 15% of the total number admitted.

iirc odds get significantly worse once you are actually put on a ventilator. No illness>no symptoms>mild symptoms>worse symptoms>hospital>ICU>ventilator. With age, gender, general health and so on somewhere in the mix.
