Lock up your Nurses!

Don't worry Boris; Matt Hancock will have your ventilator ready.......by the end of the week........errrrrr by the end of the month.......errrrrr, it's on urgent order as "it's very imporrrrrrtant", so sometime soon. He thinks. Hopefully.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

That shaking hands probably wasn’t a good idea after all. Get well soon, Boris.

[BIGRON]

Love him or hate him , wish him well

And it's errr Estaban from Nuneaton with yet another pathetic post.

Whatever your thoughts are on Boris, we are in a crisis type situation and need him back in No.10 in good health.
I wish him well and hope he gets better quickly.

[Blackwall O]

Hmmm! We'll just keep you in overnight for observation they told me in February. 8 days later I came out after a week in ICU on oxygen after contracting pneumonia from a virus (not Covid 19)

Hope he doesn't end up like I did. He doesn't look very fit which is important in fighting pneumonia.

Not a nice post, not a time to play at being funny

Get well soon Boris

Yes, we are in a crisis but so far Johnson has been a total failure. While he celebrated Brexit, engagement and another baby expected, he took a casual stance on what was forthcoming from this pandemic. He is a useless leader but his deputies Gove and Raab are even more untrustworthy.

Oh, and while the pandemic was knowingly developing, his interest was on building a bridge between NI and Scotland.

[NuneatonO's]

Some of you guys think Boris is the man we need to handle this crisis?

REALLY?

- Remind me again how many NHS Staff STILL haven't been tested.

- Remind me again how many NHS Staff STILL do not have the correct Personal Protective Equipment.

- Remind me again how many NHS Staff have lost their lives, because of these aforementioned failures.

- Remind me again how many people have contracted the Virus; or in the worst cases, have actually now died; because the Tory Party led by this utter clown, haven't taken timely W.H.O. advice and didn't isolate the Country quickly enough.

- Remind me again how far we are behind other European Countries for Coronavirus testing.

- Remind me again how many ventilators are due to be supplied and by when; as his Health Secretary doesn't appear to have a bloody clue.

- Remind me again how many NHS beds have been cut; and how Social Care has been destroyed over the past 10 years; on his partys' watch. Savage cuts that I think you'll find he's always voted for.

- Remind me again whilst checking those numbers, just how many thousands of front-line nursing and health care support vacancies have also increased by since 2010?

- Remind me again how many Brits are still stuck overseas; because repatriation has been so poorly organised by this useless Tory Government; and their servants at the similarly incompetent Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

I don't wish Boris Johnson ANY illness; and sincerely hope that he makes a full recovery.

However, for people to be saying that he's needed back at Number 10 to urgently to lead this crisis, just goes to show how blinkered some people truly are.

The guy is an utterly clueless; and his handling of this crisis truly appalling. He is clearly completely out of his depth.

Meanwhile, for the Tory Party to now place the NHS so highly at the top of their agenda; after a decade of mismangement and under-investment, makes me want to puke.

You need reminding that
Boris was voted in as PM with a huge majority.
He has , according to opinion polls, got support of majority of the country for his leadership
Brits abroad ignore requests they must get on flights home.
New hospital beds coming available in massive numbers

Now is not the time to be so negative. We are in a crisis and everyone needs to stop fighting each other and turn attention to fighting this plague. Recriminations etc can follow when things start to return to normal.

Boris is criticised for being slow off the mark yet a few hundred overpaid footballers still can’t agree to take a pay cut whilst their union secretary still takes home a £2,000,000.00 salary.

If you are lucky enough to be still receiving an income who is paying for that and have you donated a significant % back to help others?

[Cheshunto]

I’m no fan of Boris and there are things that I wish the government had done regarding this crisis ie closed the border and getting PPE to NHS staff sooner etc
However just imagine if Jeremy Corbyn had won the election and how the Covid-19 situation would have been handled with his ace mathematician Diane Abbott in charge of calculating how many masks we needed.
Now is not the time to point fingers but pull together to hopefully get us out of this critical National Emergency.

[faldO]

Get well soon Boris - and all others suffering from this horrible disease.

I'm not sure why we need to imagine anything when we can see exactly what is happening now. Diane Abbott was shadow home secretary not health (anyone heard from Priti recently?) but apart from that, it's a great point you make, even if slightly at odds with your sentiment about not pointing fingers and pulling together.

I'll definitely be pulling together and doing all I can. As well as clapping the NHS on Thursdays I'm also making my kid draw upwards of 20 rainbows a day.

Remember when you told a worried pensioner he was an bumhole and mocked him for living in a "nuclear fallout shelter" because he was worried about NHS capacity?

And that you were going to the pub despite government advice not to? And that nobody was gonna stop you going?

I am donated £50 to shelter and £25 to meals for the NHS will do it every month until this crap is over. Also lucky enough get a bonus in my April pay packet and will make and additional one from that as well. I encourage anyone who can to do so. It's only some of the money that my local boozer isn't getting anyway.

What on earth has the Governments ineptitude* got to do with some rich sportsmen? Are you also calling on banking bosses, CEOs, the Queen, Jacob Rees Mogg and other super wealthy individuals to give us their money? It's bizarre.

*I've used ineptitude rather than criminal as it's not yet confirmed that they were prepared to let 400,000 people (1% of 60% of 68 million) die to save the economy.

[Thor]

Well done Jimbo, good work.

[Thor]

Boris is apparently on oxygen and he has not been given a date for discharge, it's not sounding good.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

He's only in for tests, saw it on the news.

To answer some previous points:

- I had no idea just how deadly this disease had become; hence I went to the pub once before the lock-down. Should I have done this? Clearly not. I should have listened to my Wife sooner; rather than take advantage of the misinformation provided by Johnson and his incompetent Tory Government.

- To the person who said Brits would not return home. To the most part, that is complete and utter rubbish. There was no transport available to get them home! I personally spent 11 consecutive days at work booking people in NZ and Aus onto alternative, earlier Emirates, Virgin and Qantas flights. Having paid thousands of pounds for them, these revised flights were also pulled. Meanwhile, airlines (and ferry comanies) serving Europe, also cancelled flights and sailings. The advice of the Govt. /FCO? 'Contact your travel provider'. Thousands were stranded. I have customers who still are!

Maybe if your Wife, family, etc. worked in the NHS, you'd have a different view on things.

- You'd be concerned EVERY day and night, when they have returned home in tears because of the impossible conditions that they are working under.

- Listening and seeing their abject despair at risking their lives, through a lack of basic equipment.

- Their sadness at the loss of a colleague that they've known for years.

Clearly, the vast majority of you aren't in this position.

That's evident even more by some; who are that desperate and unable to answer my questions, they have to try and apportion blame back to what Corbyn and Abbott would have done. Truly, truly pathetic!

Fair enough.

Worth remembering that the kids were still in school at that point in time.

Of the people that died at the weekend and last week, nearly if not all of them would have contracted the virus before the Government shut the schools down and started to lock down. They died because the Government didn't act correctly.
