Boris has Covid, but is not isolating

You're behind the times - that has been changed.

I don’t think he has covid has he? Unless I’ve missed something. But he could have because he has been in contact with someone with active symptoms who has tested positive and is not isolating.

Oh blimey I turn my back for a few hours and mr popularity himself has decided to isolate.

What a fantastic leader we have ????

FarawayGran, they changed their minds and will isolate now. Another u-turn!

Of course, they're so out of touch - that they just hadn't predicted the public rage at their previous plan, a plan that said loud and clear 'One rule for us, another for you'.

I’m not sure you can get covid twice. Otherwise we’re doomed.

I know, I read the headline of the OP and thought - 'oh no!'

Although, I suppose, if it mutates, perhaps that will be possible.

I am afraid you can. And you can do so even if you’ve had a double vaccination.

Scientists recognise that the vaccine is not perfect, but are hoping that further work will improve it.

It seems sensible to continue with mitigation.

The PM doesn't have covid, FarawayGran. The Health Minister, who visited a care home last week has it and the PM and Chancellor, who had been in contact with him (despite Zoom being available and them owning a brand new £2.6million, taxpayer funded communication room), were pinged and told to isolate. They weren't going to isolate as they are part of a non-isolation testing test but, in response to a huge public outcry approximately 160 minutes later it was announced they are going to isolate after all.

I know this sounds like the plot of some kind of cheap comedy show where b-list actors play duplicitous, self-serving, entitled clowns, but sadly it's reality.

As for why is he so popular? No idea, but I imagine he is less popular than he was 8 hours ago.

The latest humiliating volte-face is neither surprising nor confusing. The regime is built entirely on Brexit, a lie so massive & so far-reaching that it’s unhitched half the country from observable reality. When you depend on the deluded for your power, any con seems possible.

He doesn’t have Covid and he IS self isolating.

Perhaps GN should operate the Three Sieves System!!

Absolutely

I guess some people glance at a headline, don't read but make a snap judgement about said news item. Just goes to show how easy mis-information spreads!

That is beyond irony when you consider who we are talking about????

He is self-isolating now - I think that's what is termed a U-turn. He must be giddy!

I see Johnson is lying on his statement about u-turning??. What a card eh? Such fun.

There’s only one flaw in your excellent idea.
We have too many experts on here who know they’re right.

Is that true, kind or useful?

Errr Johnson - the clue is in the title

Or rather
Who? Socrates??

Or Mollygo's DGD's IT teacher?
(did you follow that, it was a bit long-winded)

Oh!!

The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?
No.
Boris doesn't have Covid

Was he self-isolating?
No.
That will annoy a lot of people

Did he do a U turn
Yes

Am I surprised?
No.
