Why could this be disastrous politically? Why would it bring the country to it's knees.
No disrespect to Boris. I've never liked him - but have liked the way he's dealt with CV and have missed him whilst he's been gone. He was reassuring and respectfully asked us to comply with every new rule.
However - he's just one of many. Yes he's the PM - but how many have been hospitalised? How many have died? Why would this one man dying bring the country to it's knees?
