SKY News- Boris Self Isolating

[BananaPop2020]

What do we think about this? It does all seem remarkably interesting timing....

He’ll get the phone calls, asking how he is and whether he needs help with his shopping .

He is isolating as he had been in contact with an MP who later tested positive. Isnt that what we are all supposed to do? I hope he and everyone else involved are ok through this bloody awful pandemic.

Whaaaat??? From Carrie?

At least she'll be able to get on with running the country in peace....

Surely he will just work from home? He lives at work anyway?

What, again? I didn't think you could get it twice.

What, again? I didn't think you could get it twice.

There's no evidence of lasting immunity I don't think. Not yet.

@Ellmau

What, again? I didn't think you could get it twice.

I thought it had been quite well publicised that you can get it more than once.

@chomalungma

Do you think he got a phone call from a teenager in a call centre telling him to self isolate

Or did his app go off?

Why can't a teenager be good enough for the job? They don't all have Saturday jobs in McDonald's you know

He will still be working . And he has not been doing the brexit negotiations he has a team .

No drama here .

I wonder how he came to be in close contact. Why isn’t he wfh and keeping his distance when he does need to meet f2f?

@Ellmau

Yes you can . I know someone in her 30s who has had it twice .it’s rare but possible .

He is isolating as he had been in contact with an MP who later tested positive. Isnt that what we are all supposed to do?

We’re not supposed to be in contact with anybody outside of our own household (with exceptions for bubbles/care etc), and if we have to meet people for work, we should be observing safe distancing etc which would mean you wouldn’t be a close contact. Obviously there are some jobs you can’t avoid close contact..... but bloody business type meeting, you do not need to be less than 2m apart. Could have been via Zoom FFS.

That Boris needs to self isolate from meeting someone for work, just shows he’s not following the rules the rest of us all are. How surprising.

@Chewbecca

I think he nature of the jobs is lots of meetings and lots of talking in unventilated rooms .

He'll avoid any appearances in front of committee and PMQ's

Remarkable that he is one of few world leaders to contract CV and now he has to SI because he was in close proximity to a positive case, lax to say the least.

@Ellmau

What, again? I didn't think you could get it twice.

Yes, there are a low but increasing number of cases where it is proven second infection (established by examining the virus present each time, and showing it to be different).

There are many additional reports of people testing positive again after intervals of many weeks, but if no sample was kept from the first infection (quite likely) there is no way to demonstrate whether it is second infection.

If immunity wears off at about the 6-9 month point, thus is about when we!0'd expect to see the first proven cases of reinfection.

Unfortunately it seems that not everyone gets it more mildly on second infection

Why can't a teenager be good enough for the job

Defensive much?

Do you think that a teenager rang up the Prime Minister of this country and told him to self isolate?

Because it says he was contacted by NHS Test and Trace.

Or do you think such a phone call for VIPs goes up the food chain to someone senior?

Another example of people in positions of responsibility not following their own rules.

No wonder so many the general public think they're ok not to follow the rules either.

Boris had no need to be in close contact with this MP, government business like that can be carried out remotely.

He's a lazy bugger.

He was probably shaking hands again

If you don't work in test and trace you don't know the average age of the employees apart from what you're reading in the daily mail 🙄

If you don't work in test and trace you don't know the average age of the employees apart from what you're reading in the daily mai

So it's quite possible that someone else rang him from Test and Trace who was not a teenager then.

Who will be stepping out on Wednesday.... are you opening the book?

Wednesday will be Dominic Raab. Possibly the second worst Foreign Secretary in history, after Boris Johnson. Though Lord Halifax wasn't up to much either.

@nosswith will Raab be out of isolation by then?

Given the news of his isolation broke on the 5th, possibly not!
