If there was any doubt about the Conservative mindset in Great Britain in Boris Johnson's Cabinet, as being in a friendly place called denial, let's consider that they have taken the irrational decision that it is more important to “get Brexit done”, than to get the Corona-virus preparation done.
Let's be clear Scottish health ministers have suggested that 2% of the population in Scotland may have to be hospitalized. Extrapolating that to England that would mean they would have to be prepared to hospitalize 2 million people, but they cannot prepare for that because Johnson and his Brexiteers are still trumpeting the mantra of Get Brexit Done!
What does that mean? Well actually nobody knows. But what we do know is that the World Health Organization have officially declared the Corona-virus to be a global pandemic, so that Boris Johnson and his zealot Brexiteer ilk and cabinet appear to be ignoring this quite happily, all the while chanting “Get Brexit Done!”, as their continued drumbeat and mantra. At which point the truly irrational element of what has happened with Boris Johnson and the Brexiteer movement has manifest itself plainly as being irrational, to the point of actually taking leave of reality.
So that it's plain they are depending on sunlight as the ultimate disinfectant, that is to say they are gambling with the lives of people, that an early spring will stop the pandemic by killing the virus through sunlight and warm weather. The truth is this may well work, but even if it does the question is honestly and truthfully what does that mean? And who will take the assumption of this risk?
Obviously the average Briton on the street will incur this assumption of risk and their families, as the Conservative Tory Party and Boris Johnson are playing dice with their health, well-being, future and very lives. Please let's remember that in Italy the entire country is now in lockdown. President Trump has made an order preventing Europeans from entering the US.
In the Boris Johnson’s theater of the absurd, things are going from bad to worse; nonstop now, right into the bizarre in terms of their priorities.
How can Brexit be more important than life and limb? It’s beggar’s belief.
