Bojo and the 'rona

 Just a little reminder that Boris Johnson had COVID-19. Tested positive on 27 March, and had mild to moderate symptoms until 6 April. That afternoon found him in intensive care. He was eventually discharged six days later. 16 days. We'll see if Trump can improve on that. We're not out of the woods yet, peeps.

Meanwhile, Trump's senior campaign advisor Jason Miller says Biden wears a face mask as a "prop." Honestly, where do they mint these idiots?

I wonder if we'll hear anything like this from Trump:

In a video statement Johnson, in suit and tie, says the “NHS has saved my life, no question”.

He added: “We will win because our NHS is the beating heart of this country. It is the best of this country. It is unconquerable. It is powered by love.”

He paid tribute to the astonishing care he received from nurses and thanked, in particular, the “two nurses who stood by my bedside for 48 hours when things could have gone either way. They’re Jenny from New Zealand … and Luis from Portugal, near Porto.

“The reason in the end my body did start to get enough oxygen was because for every second of the night they were watching and they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions I needed.”
