It might simply be a desperate ploy given that his polls remained static this close to the election, one which he miraculously recovers from. I'm going to wait until I hear independent medical confirmation, rather than the claim of his personal physician (you know, the one who signed a letter saying Trump was the healthiest individual ever to run for president). I don't know if any of you follow brazilian politics, but trump-like president bolsonaro was in a similar situation and had this super dodgy stabbing incident where there was no blood and the man wasn't charged, and Bolso miraculous recovered a week before the election, neatly avoiding any debates or scrutiny but feeding into his "law and order" push. Trumps apparent victory over covid might reinforce his stature and his claims that it's not that dangerous, and with a week to go there wont be any chance to call him on it. just putting it out there as possibility as I know how crucial B3ta is in determining world affairs

He's hardly going to cancel all the protocol because he's lying is he?

I believe all the stuff about these military planes was debunked earlier today. They are up flying all the time.

I think if Boris was faking it then there's likely to be a few medical staff willing to shop him in. He's not likely to be high on the Christmas card lists after all.

What concerns me is that it gave him one massive positive bump in opinion polls at the time, despite the fact that he got it from being a stupid cunt.

I'm sure he had Covid, but it wouldn't surprise me if he exaggerated the severity of it for PR reasons. I wouldn't trust a word that Johnson says.
