Holed up at No.10 with the Coronavirus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson embodies a human comedy

In the U.K., Queen Elizabeth II will be making a rare and stately message to rally the nation, in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, a brave move for the nation fighting rising COVID-19 cases, doubly so in light of London's historic legacy of plagues.

But back at No.10, things are a bit more redolent of something different from the classics -- a human comedy.

Poor Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been hit hard by the coronavirus. Assuming he's going to get through this, what he's doing now is certain to endear him to the British public, who will all recognize not just Boris being Boris, but things relatable in their great British selves.

According to the Daily Mail:

Somehow it was typical of Boris Johnson to drag himself from his sick bed to the steps of Downing Street and to defy the cold by declining to wear an overcoat. 

His eyes had the tired and shot look of a man struggling with illness, his unshaven face was pallid and he seemed to have lost weight. 

But he remained stoically upright as he joined in the mass applause for the NHS and if the usual ebullience was missing there was at least a flicker of determination. 

This was the first sighting of the Prime Minister on his feet for seven days after succumbing to the coronavirus and his appearance was in stark contrast to that of Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who has made a far swifter recovery from the symptoms. 

He went out without his coat. Where's his mum?

Now he can't come out of No. 10. According to the Daily Mail, they've got him barricaded in so he can't get out, and they're feeding him prisoner-style, with trays of food left at a doorway. He's tired and sick, but he's still conducting government meetings, same way the rest of us are making-do doing, via Zoom. He's separated from his significant other, who's sort of the equivalent of his wife, so he's all alone in there and getting into mischief.

Are they monitoring his porn feed (for security reasons) or respecting his privacy?

“conducting government meetings, same way the rest of us are making-do doing, via Zoom. “

Zoom pops up out of nowhere after ChiCom war weapon hits the world.

Zoom funnels feeds through servers in Chink Land.

Zoom ChiCom guy gets Visa to The Land Of Milk and Honey, after NINE tries.

Only thing left to do?

Send the Vaccine Protected troops into the infected countries and finish the takeover.

In the movies, it was 28 Weeks Later when folks went back into the now nearly virus free zone.

(Yeah, yeah I now the end of the movie, but it follows well otherwise.)

At yesterday’s corona news briefing, Trump said another wise statement involving HCQ. He told everyone that he was going to talk to his doctor about the possibility of taking the HCQ regime on a maintenance basis as a prophylactic/pro-active preventative medicine. Of course that practice is a great idea and should be followed now by all Americans who have not yet caught the virus, so the country can get back to work. Obviously, the pro-pandemic, international war criminals will fight America - and the world - all the way to their banks.

All porn feeds are monitored for future blackmail. Go VPN or get bent over. And no, this guy is the mysterious Fifth Beatle with that hair so nothing will take him down.

I think it is appropriate for the Queen, who is afterall a WW-II and London Blitz veteran having a personal connection to Winston Churchill.
