Day Twelve

To lose ONE health minister to coronavirus may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose TWO looks like carelessness.

I know it's perhaps because they'll be in medical environments, but it may also be because Westminster and Kensington are right up at the top of UK infection areas.

Basically starting at London Bridge and then going west following along the river out to Kew seems to be particularly afflicted areas.

[azdak]

Or because Boris shook hands with everyone at the hospital with coronavirus patients and then infected the cabinet?

[bluemeanybeany]

Possibly, although I think it came the other way in that Nadine Norris got it first some time ago now. Also Boris was at the press conference with the Chief Scientist who got it last week.

At least everyone now has a convenient excuse to avoid the Prime Minister, and all politicians really as Westminster seems to be the regional hotspot.

I am sending Thoughts and Prayers to Boris Johnson. Particularly prayers that he spent a lot of time standing next to Donald Trump.

[azdak]

Now that is a prayer I can get right alongside!

In Austria or the UK?

[azdak]

The UK. Austria's been very sensible and has an excellent health minister who is also a Green and a very good egg.

[vilakins]

That sounds more like us. I'm very pleased with our government, especially how they're handling this. If I came from the UK, I'd never go back (unless Scotland or Wales seceded).
