That Boris Johnson would catch Coronavirus was entirely predictable. His sense of entitlement made him feel invulnerable, an attitude stemming from Eton, Bullingdon Club, etc etc. His risky life style, the long string of affairs, infidelities and broken marriages are testament to this.
Even as Foreign Secretary, he jetted off to a Russian party in Italy, leaving behind his police protection team. His numerous Russian friends meant he was seen as a potential security risk.
Johnson finally encountered something not impressed with entitlement, which did not see him as invulnerable, merely as a juicy host. The Coronavirus!
No other G7 leaders have been infected, every other leader was responsible enough to follow their own guidance on social distancing. But Johnson boasted of shaking hands with Coronavirus victims in hospital!
Even worse, he then carried that infection into the heart of government. Key people were infected and incapacitated, creating a serious void at Westminster.
His reckless carelessness even extended to his heavily pregnant fiancée who ended up with symptoms of the virus!
The remarkably inexperienced Cabinet is now reputedly controlled by Dominic Raab, with little experience of the major offices of state; who did not even realise the Dover-Calais link was important!
It is this inexperienced government which has mismanaged the critical shortage of personal protection equipment (PPE) for key NHS workers leading to avoidable deaths, the remarkable lack of Coronavirus testing, compared with other countries, preventing the targeting of resources and therefore resulting in further unnecessary deaths.
Then we come to the lack of ventilators. The government is desperately searching for new suppliers, but strangely, when Johnson became ill, due to his own irresponsible behaviour, a ventilator some how became available for him!
Boris Johnson was “entitled” to the use of a ventilator, yet many other victims of the virus may well be denied such equipment because of the inadequacies of Johnson’s government.
