Boris has Covid, but is not isolating

MawBe

He doesn’t have Covid and he IS self isolating.

That is precisely what I understood. Mind you, like me, he has had Covid and the double vaccine. I would feel pretty miffed, but I’d comply absolutely. He probably feels the same, but is complying.

He is complying now his hand has been forced.

“Any way the wind blows….” ?

I guess my hand would be forced if I was contacted by T&T though. I would absolutely comply, I’m not really a rebel. But if I felt well, I’d be miffed. But again, I wouldn’t want to possibly make anyone else ill. Unlikely, but possible.

A man who waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says, 'Follow me'.

It wasn't the contact by T&T that forced his hand. It was the public outcry.

So true.

There is even a question as to whether Johnson is following his own rules in isolation.

At 8.30 this morning he was apparently in Downing Street. By 10.30 he had miraculously turned up at Chequers.

Thought travelling in isolation was illegal

You may believe that if you want to MoorlandMooner.

All the news outlets and Robert Jenrick were earlier this morning reporting that the PM was not going to isolate. Then later this morning .......after huge public outcry.....a Uturn.

I'm often wrong maddyone and would be happy to be wrong on this if you could explain what I've missed.

Cummings named him Trolley Johnson. Crashes along from side to side out of control. Gosh it’s lovely we have such a fabulous guy in charge.

According to the press, it was T&T that forced him to isolate. It’s illegal to not isolate if contacted by T&T as I understand it.

Glad our Prime Minister understands the rules.

Odd Johnson had a change of heart AFTER the Andrew Marr programme went out this morning. Jenrick gave some waffle about Downing Street being approved members of a scheme. For those doubters I suggest watching on iPlayer. A definite U turn and quite rightly.

Me too Whitewave.

So the Downing Street Pilot Scheme has gone by the wayside, then.

And this is different….?

I think the pilot scheme is real and is a valid thing to do, but if Johnson was a proper leader he would have self isolated straight away which would have made the population think "we're all in this together" instead of "one rule for them, one rule for us".

10 days in Chequers or Number 11 or where ever they are would be no hardship. He could even have appeared on TV today to say something along the lines of how now that things are open, the virus is still around, and look, even the PM had to take care and self isolate when necessary.

You must get different news from me Maddyone.Times today "after fierce criticism from Labour and ridicule on social media Johnson admitted it was better to stick to the same rules as everyone else."Funny how he got to Chequers though !

So what goes on inside Chequers? No contact with staff? Food left at the door to his bedchamber?

Champers in the garden and croquet with Carrie I should imagine!

I’m not sure you can get covid twice. Otherwise we’re doomed.

Noel Fitzpatrick (Super Vet) had Covid twice. He said the last time (earlier this year) was much worse than the first time.

He said he felt so ill the second time that he thought he would die.

He’s going to be now ?if we can believe him ??

Yesterday morning a course of events unfolded clearly in plain sight of the entire nation. The main characters themselves have told us that they originally considered not isolating, one in writing and one in a video. Their close colleague and fellow minister confirmed this on several separate occasions on TV and radio. The issue was widely reported, and still continues to be reported across all media.

Some people still choose to believe the opposite and happily come on Gransnet to tell us it didn't happen or happened differently. They use one element of the story taken in isolation, with no reference to the time at which it appeared in the unfolding events.

How is it possible that people can believe something so strongly in the face of all evidence?

BoJo doesn’t have Covid - at least get the facts right before he is slated
