Good thing he was already at the hospital when his symptoms worsened.

Imagine if he hadn't by chance been there for some routine tests already. :ohdear:

still have no idea why he was shaking hands with all those corona patients

was he trying to prove this was a hoax? or was this some misguided attempt at trying to build up some immunity?

even our (high profile) chuds in the u.s. aren't stupid enough to blatantly interact with infected patients.

That was my thought as well. Dying of the plague is very much a 'other people' thing, not something that happens to a protagonist of life like himself.

Strange that Boris is now in intensive care after hearing just a few hours ago that he was in good spirits. Maybe this will be the wakeup call to all those gammons that the tories liars and not to be trusted.

Lol... :(

I know that will never happen. It's not just who you would think either, many people have fallen for the cult of Boris and Brexit.

So i'm a dumb idiot american with no idea how other countries make government happen. What happens if Bojo dies from covo? Is there a deputy PM who takes over? Do tories hold a snap election and put Rees-Mogg in charge?

dominic raab (foreign secretary, deputy pm, horrible man) is the acting prime minister and will be until johnson recovers or dies. if he dies the tories have to choose a new leader, which'll either mean the parliamentary party unanimously backing someone or sending two candidates to the membership for a postal ballot (or a rules change by the '1922 committee' who sets the rules for leadership selection)

Raab caretaker in the interim then a Tory leadership election for the replacement I'd assume

It's Dominic Raab. Psychotic karate black belt who wants to privatise everything and lower the minimum wage for under 21's. You know, those heroes who are still going to work so the rest of the country can eat.

important points is there’s nothing forcing a time limit on the interim period. they’ll obviously put that off till after the crisis is over. so we’ll be stuck with Raab for a long while. or he drops dead too.
