Where is Boris??

SubjectMatterExpert · 01/04/2020 21:24

Have we had any update on his condition?? I would have expected him to do video/Skype briefings if he is only mild? How long has it been now??

He has done a Twitter video this evening - twitter.com/BorisJohnson

Comenext · 01/04/2020 21:30

He does look shattered. Has he lost weight too?

480Widdio · 01/04/2020 21:31

Yes just watched him on Twitter.

SugarSugarShimmy · 01/04/2020 21:40

He looks awful. But no cough

Pulppixies · 01/04/2020 21:47

Not everyone gets a cough.

SugarSugarShimmy · 01/04/2020 21:50

I know. I was just observing!

YangShanPo · 01/04/2020 21:54

I thought he looked like he would like very much to get in bed with a Lemsip and hot water bottle.

Bluntness100 · 01/04/2020 21:55

Yeah he doesn’t look well, and a couple of times he struggled for a breath. Defintely not the same as he was a week ago. He looks knackered too. 🙁

RozHuntleysStump · 01/04/2020 21:57

Poor thing. Good for him to still be present when he is obviously really poorly. Hope he recovers soon.

Also, he's clearly been wearing a jumper and shirt combo all day as his 'leisure wear' and added the token jacket for that video

He ALWAYS looks ill though

He should be wearing his pyjamas, not a jumper and shirt combo

Greenpop21 · 01/04/2020 22:27

Sounded pretty chesty.Like he’d have a cough after he switched off.

LimescaleCowboy · 01/04/2020 22:27

For the SPADs reading.

He's a fat obnoxious pisshead who doesn't deserve the NHS and shouldn't be 'clapping' for its workers whilst being ideologically opposed to the NHS's existence.

Lumene · 01/04/2020 22:28

He looks unwell

Mammamia2020 · 01/04/2020 22:29

Not good enough. Most people aren't on Twitter.
I can't put into words how badly I think he's managed this all.

Itwillbeokhopefully · 01/04/2020 22:33

He always looks ill. Maybe time to smarten up the barnet...

reasonswhyimdifferent · 01/04/2020 22:33

Was it 563 cases today or deaths? I’m sure he said cases but then said thoughts to their family and friends.

esjee · 01/04/2020 22:35

@Mammsmia2020. If you think its been badly managed then its not just, or even mostly, him to blame. Try the whole government and all their advisors.

Rosehip10 · 01/04/2020 22:35

@LimescaleCowboy I doubt Cummings looks at MN!

Namechangervaver · 01/04/2020 22:38

He did say cases, but I'm pretty sure he meant deaths.

Thing is he always looks awful, so there's no way of knowing how ill he is from that video.

justanotherneighinparadise · 01/04/2020 22:39

He looks unwell because he has Coronavirus 🤦🏻‍♀️

Freshairimportanttoo · 01/04/2020 22:48

I thought he looked better than people said! Mouth very dry though and definitely chesty, he really breathed in at 1⃣ point

Freshairimportanttoo · 01/04/2020 22:52

Waist down hes probably in pj's. Or naked.

It's not boris response to this.. Many many weeks ago... The way he said '' some people say let this wash through, personally I think we need to mitigate '' said to me there was trauma behind the scenes

Then sir Patrick comes out very confident with his model.
Then we are out of step with the entire world. Then sir Patrick looks shell shocked and we do a massive u turn.

It's sir Patrick!!

More importantly, where is Chris Whitty the CMO?? There have been no updates on how he is doing having gone in to self isolation
Is he ok?!
