AIBU to be annoyed that Boris Johnson is not isolating?

[NCforAIBU]

MN please don’t put this in the coronavirus topic. Is about the difference in rules. Things to consider: as people know who he is and the news, vulnerable people will be able to avoid him but should he set an example?Also there are hundreds of thousands of people isolating and missing out on well deserved holidays. Including a teacher’s daughter on her third isolation so the teacher can’t go.

AIBU = he should not isolate
AINBU = he should isolate

Yabu, they are doing the BLF pilot scheme as are many many other individuals, I currently have 4 friends and 22 colleagues who are doing the scheme and all so far are still having BLF negative results, so far all of them would have isolated for no reason.

Is that the pilot that is randomly assigned? What a coincidence Johnson and Sunak were both chosen for it

Yup

I don't think it sends the right message to include Downing St in the study. This will discourage compliance with isolation.

Remember everyone, no need to isolate at all now, just tell people you're taking part in a pilot.

I think it’s fucking outrageous. Yes there’s a pilot but no way was bloody Downing St randomly assigned. They can’t do the right thing, they’re just inherently unable to. Absolute fuckers.

Why not in the corona topic?

Its about corona at the end of the day.

How does he expect young children and teens to stay in for 10 days if he can't do it himself. Bloody cheek.

YANBU at all OP.

YANBU, it's amazing how MPs and high profile people are far more likely to be "randomly" allocated to this pilot scheme than statistics would allow.
Meanwhile, children are repeatedly isolating, thousands of people's jobs are at risk, and the pilot scheme continues, but only for the important people.

But OP, they have conveniently been assigned to take part in the pilot that they made up!

We got pinged by the app yesterday. I’ll be following their lead and doing daily tests rather than isolating. As I’m sure will many people.

He's the biggest hypocrite in the world but to be fair various organisations are doing the pilot, mine is. Daily LFT tests if it was a positive contact at work. If we didn't do that we would have no workforce left at the moment.

Maybe that’s what they want

I don’t think it matters tbh, life has to move on, if they are testing negative I cannot see any reason why they can’t continue to life a normal life. Life has to move on and I personally believe this is a step in the correct direction.

Boris is Boris. Based on his past history, why would he suddenly change and do the right thing now? YABU.

Thing is, these people will get away with this, they will carry on having a good approval rating, and people will keep voting for them 🤔

I think any employer but downing St should be involved in the pilot. We detest them already and it sends the wrong message.

Can my toddler be in the scheme. I've kept her in the house for days now because her bubble burst.

YABU simply for not putting this in the coronavirus topic your self.

Agreed. But that should be the case for everyone. Not just the ‘important’ ones

This magical pilot scheme that’s benefiting those at the top mainly.

I don’t see how daily testing in this pilot is sensible - because by the time you’ve got a positive you may have already spread the virus.

LFTs aren’t very accurate - which makes the pilots even more ridiculous IMO

This is why I wont be isolating. If its good enough for the goose and all that.

But wait until the next electionincomes round, I bet people will still be voting for these clowns!

Yeah, pretty angry on behalf on my friends keeping two kids inside in this lovely weather, when he can do this.

Rules for thee but not for me
