You're supposed to pray for the soul, not the flesh, and that man's soul is incredibly stained. If you were to be a genuine believer and pray for him, what, exactly, would you pray for?

Theology chat warning - when it says "body" in the bible it means body and spirit. They aren't seen as separate for humans in an orthodox reading although you wouldn't know it from the way even priests etc talk about them.

Flesh is something else, the word often represents sinful desire.

That's the thing that keeps striking me as of late. I know "Just A Flu Bro" is an eye rolling meme at this stage, but it basically kinda is. It's a slightly pepped up flu. It's the cold, with muscles. A disease that the majority of folks might not even notice they've contracted. Yet it's become this world-threatening, society buckling motherfucker purely because everything's been run so shoddy and cheap for so long. We can't test people because the tests are shoddily-made poo poo. We can't handle all the sick people because the NHS has been slashed to the bone. Doctors and nurses gonna start croaking because eh fuckit why would we need PPE. We can't hunker down because we gotta send folks out to make Number Go Up, and their jobs still require hella manpower because eh fuckit automation's expensive. It's going to gently caress up people who, by rights, should shake it off because public health is a luxury society never bothered investing in, and looking after yourself is only for wealthy folks. We didn't get on top of the Bojo Buggerer 4 months ago because eh, don't wanna offend the Chinese money or harm the tourist trade. We don't have a vaccine because the research didn't seem profitable so nobody bothered their arse. There's no slack or resilience in anything, because that would require expenditure and effort. Clap for the NHS tho! Pray for Bojo! Look, here's the Queen to make reassuring noises!

It's all just bloody ridiculous. I think I might go vandalise a Wetherspoon's.

Only if he has a death with, we don't really have those in the UK. If you want decent treatment you go to the NHS same as everyone else cos that's where all the actual difficult and not profitable medical care happens.

If he goes to a private hospital they'll stack rocks on him and yodel at him to make him better.

The cleansing fires of purgatory.

Although that's dangerously Catholic. I don't know what the CoE equivalent is. I hope he's chased around by the big orange until he learns a lesson?

He's in a general pleb hospital but it's the closest one to No 10 so they probably have a special room reserved for the PM at all times. And I'm guessing he didn't have to wait hours in A&ER to be seen.

Lol Laura K on BBC saying how ironically tragic it is that a month ago Bojo had no idea that the virus that was affecting people overseas would end up affecting him.

Took my dog for a walk this morning and had to dive into a hedge to avoid a pack of boomers just taking up the entire pavement to stroll along having a natter. They were casually talking about how one of their friends had been hospitalised.

Yeah this is really worth pointing out, private healthcare in the UK is all about poaching the medical procedures that net them money from the NHS or from the private patients overall. As soon as it looks like you might actually be ill they genuinely call an ambulance and have you pushed out the door fast as possible. they don't want the liability of their doctors having to actually do medical science on you. It's why none of the private hospitals have A and E units.

I work on a private ward and if anything we're massively less prepared than our NHS counterparts. We just had our PPE taken by the big boss because another ward got it before us.

On top of all the NHS posting - even if he were the virus doesnt give a poo poo about that. A ventilator is a ventilator. Antibiotics won't help you. More nurses wont help you. You can be Jeff Bezos, your money won't keep you from the same fate as your minimum wage window cleaner. If it wants you, you're dead. This is one thing where capitalism can't save you.

Personally, I'd love to see supermarket staff politely but vigorously enforcing keeping the aisles clear and traffic moving along purposefully becoming a permanent thing. Stopping in a chokepoint to stare blankly into space for ten minutes? Blam! £30 fine!
