//A health secretary should at least be healthy, otherwise it's a poor example to the rest of us// That's got to take pride of place as the daftest answer of the year.

Altruistic people will wear a mask, selfish people (and those with some kind of condition that means they can't wear a mask) won't wear a mask.
As from Monday I'll continue to follow the rules, as I have done from the start.

I won't be wearing a mask anywhere.
Boris may go back into purdah apparently
Ellipsis is part of the problem.

Continuing to wear a mask, when one is not required to, is absolutely not altruistic.
If the Government expect folk in England to wear coverings in certain scenarios, are they also, "Covid worshippers"?
I'm not part of your problem if I'm wearing a mask to protect you. How does that harm you in any way?

You are part of my problem if you're not wearing a mask to protect me.
You’re part of the problem, ellipsis, because you’ve been fooled into the belief that me choosing not to wear a mask, because I won’t be compelled to, is purring you at risk.

Hide behind the sofa as much as you want, I have no issue with that, just don’t expect others to just because you’re scared.
It’s a bit of a disaster politically.

The fully vaccinated Health Secretary goes down with the virus two days before “freedom day”. Casting doubt inevitably on the efficacy of the vaccines (tho hopefully not deterring people from having them), added to the rising alarm about rising deaths and hospital admissions.
I’m a bit torn here: on the one hand I want restrictions eased but it honestly feels now like it would have been better to wait until the end of September which I believe is the target for full vaccination.
Otherwise there’s a danger they’ll have to do what they said they wouldn’t: go into reverse.
It does look like Johnson is scared of his own backbenchers, many of whom apparently will not tolerate any more delay.
Deskdiary, hardly a personal choice when many of the country's supermarkets (all the ones in Burnley, for instance) are keeping the wearing of masks as a mandatory requirement for entry to their premises.
> You’re part of the problem, ellipsis, because you’ve been fooled into the belief that me choosing not to wear a mask, because I won’t be compelled to, is purring you at risk.

Two questions:

1) who has fooled me into that belief?
2) why is that belief a problem, if I'm still going out, still spending money, still doing everything you're doing, just wearing a mask while doing it?
How is it that the Chancellor and the Clown have both been pinged by Nhs , but are refusing to Isolate
PM and chancellor to self-isolate after criticism

Fastest U-turn in the West. :)

I find it fascinating that Johnson built his career on judging the public's mood better than almost anybody else, and yet he's misreading this so badly it's almost comical.

goodness, that was quick. Literally this morning, wasn't it? I woke up to headlines saying they weren't going to bother.
The BBC reported last night that they are both going to isolate.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57879730

It's possible that there were mixed messages, but the fact remains that this morning there was a clear understanding and a statement to the effect that the PM and Chancellor would not self-isolate.
Even Boris's own MPs no when taking the sip has to stop.
//It's possible that there were mixed messages//

Clearly.
are you sure, naomi?

///This must be one of the fastest government U-turns ever: 157 minutes after saying the PM and chancellor wouldn't be isolating, Downing Street decided they would.///

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57879730

If you look at the Guardian's live feed, at 10.05(am) everyone's still talking about them not isolating (and that was definitely on the BBC website on my computer). The U-turn comes at 10.47.
