SUNDAY
It has been quite a couple of days all in all. On the virus front, our PM Boris Johnson is still suffering the effects of the virus and now we find out that his pregnant fiancee' has caught it too. My heart goes out to Carrie but it sounds like she is recovering. I just hope their baby is ok. Princess Eugenie's father-in-law is seriously ill in hospital with it, and his wife is isolated at home with it too. How dreadful for them all. I'm glad that Charles is fully back to health and he virtually opened the new super hospital. Tonight the Queen is going to speak to the nation about the virus. Sadly, more NHS workers are dying this week which is heartbreaking.
The Hit Parade of Morons starts today with the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland getting her arse handed to her for her stupidity. The last two Thursdays, she has clapped for the NHS workers at her home in Edinburgh, appeared beside the First Minister of Scotland at the daily press conference, told us to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives, and appeared in a TV advert telling us to stay home and observe the lockdown. In this morning's paper, we discover that she spent this weekend at her holiday home nearly 50 miles away. The Scottish government said she just went to 'check it' but today we found out that she was there last weekend as well! No doubt she would have spent the Easter weekend there too if she hadn't been caught! How DARE this woman tell us to obey HER lockdown orders and then flout it at least twice herself!!! How was she not fined by the police for making un-necessary journeys and how did she not lose her job? One rule for those in government and another for the plebs!!!
Sunbathers, those working out and other idiots break the rules again this weekend with 3000 turning up to the one park in London! A man has been charged with licking his fingers and touching food in a supermarket. A woman punches a nurse and spits at two security guards. What is wrong with these morons??? 5G phone masts were set on fire after a social media rumour that it was helping to spread the coronavirus. How stupid are these idiots???
It was with great alarm tonight that we heard news that the PM Boris Johnson was taken to hospital for tests as he is still suffering from virus symptoms ten days after being infected. This is pretty scary stuff now. Oh and Scotland's Chief Medical Officer finally resigned tonight.
MONDAY
Boris is still in hospital this morning and we are waiting for an update on how he is doing. Looks like he'll be in hospital at least another night. It's hard not to worry, not just about him, but everyone who is in danger. I've been quite upset this morning thinking about the scale of it, worrying about my family and my friends around the world. All I can really do is stay home, follow the government advice and look after my dad. Everything else is out of my control.
The Hit Parade of Morons today begins with the vile group of Labour Lefties who have been online today wishing that Boris Johnson would die. It is truly disgusting. If you are the type of person who wishes someone dead because you don't share their political views, then you are truly vile. I can't stand Jeremy Corbyn and Donald Trump but I would never wish harm on them and would be equally concerned if they came down with the virus. An ambulance was set on fire while paramedics were attending to a patient. A family travelled for two hours by car to go to a beach for the day and were warned by police. Footballers Wayne Rooney and Kyle Walker flout social distancing rules by being out together with their families. A group of 40 held a street party in Wales.
8pm
Boris Johnson has been taken into intensive care tonight. I'm totally shocked and horrified by this news. My thoughts are with his pregnant fiancee' Carrie and all his family and friends. Please let him pull through. I'm signing off to watch the news. For those who pray, please pray for our Prime Minister tonight.

I do hope that Boris Johnson is able to recover. ICU is scary. There are definitely a lot of people misbehaving right now.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a shock last night. Yes his recovery had been slow and he wasn't looking brilliant but I don't think any of expected this. Maybe it'll shock some of the idiots into behaving better.
DeleteMy thoughts and prayers definitely going out to Boris Johnson, his fiancee (and child) and everyone else going through this. I hope he is okay and pulls through swiftly. I can't believe some of the horrible things people are doing, it's mind boggling. I guess this brings out the worst in some people just as it brings out the best in others.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and be well!
On Twitter, some who are still sulking that Boris won the December election and negotiated our initial Brexit exit are wishing him dead which is sick and twisted. Every day, people seem to behave worse which is really depressing.
DeleteI find it amazing how people with a little bit of power (or a lot) suddenly seem to think that the rules don't apply to them.
ReplyDeleteOn the political side, this has effectively killed our presidential race this cycle. Trump is in his 70's and both Biden and Sanders are up there as well. I hope they all choose younger vice-presidents so whoever gets elected has a good choice for someone taking over. I know I'll be paying a LOT more attention to who the running mates are.
Bookstooge
I noticed that Sanders has now dropped out of the race. I do agree that they need healthy VP candidates, especially with this virus! The media here are taking a lot of pleasure in catching people in power doing things they shouldn't be doing but a lot of it is political bias too. Stop the world, I want to get off...
Deletehi chuckles. thanks for reminding me...we are all in this together. wishing others ill is not the way to go.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Yes I agree. Stay strong, stay safe and look after that man of yours!
DeleteThe idiots in this world amaze me. I swear they get more stupid by the minute. I saw a saying yesterday that said "You can't fix stupid and apparently you can't quarantine it either." Seems appropriate. I hope Boris gets better. I was watching it this morning on the today show. Anyone that would wish anyone to die clearly has no moral compass.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote!
DeleteThis pandemic really has highlighted the stupidity of people in general. :(
You certainly can't fix stupid and there is a lot of it around. I liked the quarantine addition-you should market that as a bumper sticker Barb! The toxic stuff has pretty much worn me down and I quit Twitter today for good.
DeleteSuch crazy times. Everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI've become so depressed by the behaviour of people in this country. I never knew we had so many nasty folk.
