Boris MIA again?

Anyone think it's rather strange that Boris is still out of action and that, yet again, he's nowhere to be seen - a repeat of the election and the floods....

Dominic Raab is the designated survivor @Pickles89. Not sure if that helps with the panicking or not Smile Smile

I've got it too right now, I think, and I recognised his breathlessness in his videos. I can't get through a whole sentence either. I've got no time for him politically but as a human being I feel for him, I've been getting worse over the last 4 days. Thank fuck I don't have to manage a national megacrisis at the same fucking time.

He was just out on the steps of no. 10 clapping for carers.

alloutoffucks · 02/04/2020 20:16

He is incredibly lazy and well-known for it.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 02/04/2020 20:16

He isn’t looking at all well. He obviously hasn’t got the same mild version as Matt Hancock. I was shocked yesterday by how unwell he looked. No tie and and very open shirt. I’m worried for him.

SoupDragon · 02/04/2020 20:17

@KaptenKrusty WTF is funny about having covid-19?

AnneShirleysNewDress · 02/04/2020 20:17

He was clapping for carers but honestly looked like he should be lying down. I'm not a fan but cut him some slack.

Darbs76 · 02/04/2020 20:18

Cut the guy some slack. Not a Boris fan but you are being very unreasonable. He’s probably getting zero sleep and is sick.

SoupDragon · 02/04/2020 20:18

He is incredibly lazy and well-known for it.

He is ill.

alloutoffucks · 02/04/2020 20:18

And he seems no different in the videos to how he was a few weeks ago. He is lazy and hiding, that is all.

underthepatio · 02/04/2020 20:18

The nhs advice is 7 days if you have it otherwise 14 if you have been in contact with a confirmed case.

Good for him, better lazy than COVID19'd.

bellinisurge · 02/04/2020 20:19

The knobhead has Coronovirus. Even I would cut the bastard some slack.

Mummyshark2018 · 02/04/2020 20:20

Not a boris fan but he's sick so what do you want him to do?

Darbs76 · 02/04/2020 20:20

His partner is living elsewhere so it’s 7 days, same as Matt Hancock did 7 days

alloutoffucks · 02/04/2020 20:20

He was said nearly a week ago now to have a very very mild case. Why should he still look ill?

SoupDragon · 02/04/2020 20:21

Why should he still look ill?

Because he got worse...? Hardly rocket science.

unchienandalusia · 02/04/2020 20:21

A mild case of Coronavirus can still be like a hideous flu. Jeez peeps. Keep the politicising out of this for once.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 02/04/2020 20:21

Oh give over, alloutoffucks.

alloutoffucks · 02/04/2020 20:22

6 days ago he reported that he was positive and that he had a very mild case. If it was very mild he should be better and able to come out of isolation after a week. So either we are being lied to and he is more ill than is being said, or he is a lazy sod and hiding.

Justanotherlurker · 02/04/2020 20:22

Sadly there are some real nasty people around.

It's the uneducated poitical activists that are rampant on mn, name changing has enabled these types of uneducated posts, they will keep spamming them until one scores and fills up to 1000 posts.

Lweji · 02/04/2020 20:23

With any luck, SARS-CoV-2 is showing him why isolation is a good strategy.

SoupDragon · 02/04/2020 20:23

So either we are being lied to and he is more ill than is being said, or he is a lazy sod and hiding.

Or, he got worse. Are you really unable to grasp that simple explanation?

alloutoffucks · 02/04/2020 20:24

A very mild case is a few aches and pains. A mild case medically can include pnemonia. If he was that ill, given his age and being fat, he is at a real risk of being hospitalised.

Chloemol · 02/04/2020 20:24

He’s ill
