Its simple gaslighting, thing is until the Tory faithful accept that he is a liar and stop believing everything he mutters and jump to his defence whatever the outcomes are its pointless getting angry about it. |

I think the Tory faithful are fully aware of what a shit Johnson is, they support him regardless. If he's immune to his coronavirus shambles, it's going to take something big to dislodge him. party before country, keep seat before dissent and deselection ------ edit: you mean the Tory voting public don't you.. ignore me |

Plenty of people have been saying this since it first became apparent that "herd immunity" was the strategy. Herd immunity only works when you have a vaccine; without a vaccine, it's just pseudo-scientific dressing for saying "Fuck it, we're going to let it sweep through the population and let hundreds of thousands die" |

I suspect we are saying (and thinking) the same thing TBH, at least finally (through frustration) the shackles are off and people in Europe can see and are happy to say in public what we have been able to see for quite some time. https://twitter.com/agoodfireburns/status/1280197246949175297?s=20 |

Looks like we have all missed a trick here, looks that any experience and track record is not a barrier to getting a juicy PPE contract.  |

It also helps if the virus in question doesn't kill people and actually provides said immunity, otherwise we would just be a shrinking stupid herd. Recent study in Spain suggests that over two months 14% of those infected have lost the antibodies. Hopefully we will all just get the one Trump seems to be aware of where 99% of who get it are perfectly fine (more studies are showing that Covid-19 creates scar tissue in the lungs, even in Asymptomatic people). |

This is a really common, and extremely dangerous, misconception that if COVID isn't fatal then it's just a mild infection. It's not, it can be extremely debilitating and as you say there is increasing evidence that it does long-term and permanent harm. Which makes the blase-ness of those thinking they won't get it or if they do it won't be too bad not just incredibly selfish but also very stupid. |

I don't wish it on anyone but of about 4 that have deserved to do so, he is one of them. Just Trump now and I'll have a full house (BoJO, Cummings (I bet he did have it the cunt), Bolsonaro and Trump (pending). Laughable that around only 8hrs ago he was trying to conceal the truth: "I've came back from the hospital now, I've done a lung screening, my lung is clean, OK? I went to do a Covid exam a while ago, but everything..." |

Ironically, likely released it to hundreds of congress. But yeah, in terms of publicity no doubt that would be the case. |

Nah, if he's had it and recovered he'd be boasting about how he beat it, he'd think it proved his virility and his contention that it's no big deal anyway. |
