Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread

I believe he had it but swung the lead a bit, gilded the lily somewhat, put on a bit of a performance as was suggested by a doc at the time.

As for suggestions he's got long covid. I dunno... He's looked like shit for years now.

boris has been and low energy since he had it. he totally had

He was low energy or washed out beforehand too. Covid was dreamt up as a cover before his supporters noticed that their image of Boris and the reality of Boris were wildly different.

He looks unwell in a different way from before - grey skin, hollow eyes, dry hair. Definitely had it and had it bad imo.

Like, he ran away and hid in a firdge and it made no difference to his popularity and he won the election. Why would he fake a disease he was trying to downplay? He's a fuckwit who takes nothing seriously, shook hands with everyone in an infectious area, got sick. Same with Trump. Sure he's a lying shitbag full of evil schemes, but he also ignores proudly all precautions, hangs out with large numbers of other shitheads who do the same, has absolutely no idea how diseases work, and thinks COVID isn't real anyway. Which is more likely, careless idiots catching a highly infectious disease or massive conspiracies? Occam's razor. You're edging into jet fuel vs steel beams territory here, guys.

Trump is a hypochondriac though, he wasn’t wearing a mask but I doubt he was 1% as cavalier about his personal health as Boris. Other people’s, yes, absolutely.

That photo above is from 2015 I think

nah, Sept 18: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/sep/18/uk-coronavirus-live-two-week-circuit-break-lockdown-halt-covid-19-surge-england

That's from the Guardian though, not a particularly reliable source

I was out by a couple of months, looks like it was actually from 2016.

Trump the hypochondriac who also supposedly liked to do post-piss unwashed handshake deals.

Lol xp

I've inspected the timestamp on that pic, studied the fine lines under Vardy's eyes, it all checks out. The other pic failed the same forenSIC examination.

You’re right, picture of health this

His colour, his hair, he is looking very very drained

he looks like Bill Clinton does now, and Clinton has twenty years on him

you guys boris johnson looks healthier than me on my mid-summer best, when i've had a few weeks of sunshine to revitalize me and i can make a tight fist with full tension in my hands and wrists again. boris johnson in that photo above would beat me in a 800m race by over 25 seconds

in other words i'm not sure how useful it is to look at pics as an indicator of coronavirus

utah senator mike lee (positive)

fuck yeah

Adding to the total

BREAKING: Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who was at the WH SCOTUS announcement on Saturday and was criticized for not wearing a mask and shaking hands, has tested positive for COVID-19.

This was just sent out to the campus.

Statistically, the chances that at least one of these bozos perishes in the process are increasing as we speak.

the nametag is just so that Sam Beckett can more quickly recognize who he has become when he becomes the latest of a series of confused people to take temporary control of Pence's hollow shell

to be fair the name badge on those military jackets is a velcro patch

presidents dress up as army all the time. if boris (who is an idiot) wants to dress as a binman/van driver then fine.

(who is an idiot)

oh, I see

Besides the White House, there's this:

We really need a dedicated ILXor to update this thread as the hourly announcements of GOP infections drop.

Axios: Trumpworld coronavirus tracker

The COVID-19 status of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer remains unknown.

Don't see anything in that link about Stephen Miller, and he was walking right next to Hicks in that photograph circulating the other day.

Stephen Miller gravely ill would be sweet justice.

Seems like a lifetime ago, but Stephen Miller's wife (Pence's spokesperson) was one of the first in Trumpland to test positive for COVID way back in early May. No idea if her shitspittle of a husband contracted it from her then or after.

Another scorekeeping resource:

Tracer's involved somehow? huge if true

Kenzo Takada, fashion designer, dead at 81 from COVID-19.

Notable only as a source on her sick (in several respects) family, Claudia Conway.

mega-church pastor John Hagee.

Hope he gets well quick so he can sign my copy of Coronavirus: Dress Rehearsal for the New World Order

OMD’s Andy McCluskey.

Fortunately, his symptoms have been mild and he is feeling much better already. The good news is that he stops isolating on Oct 16 two days before rehearsals for You, Me & OMD. The show goes on!!
