I saw a brief clip of Boris speaking from isolation last night. He is obviously still doing everything possible even from where he is, but I must say, he looked pretty unwell.
I wish him well, because the country really needs someone like him right now. We need a leader which Johnson is anything but

Brits are divided over the government’s Coronavirus response27/03/2020The HOPE not hate Charitable Trust has published the first in a series of new polls on the Coronavirus crisis which uncovers a crisis of public confidence in aspects of the Government’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic and worryingly widespread levels of distrust of both the media and the government as sources of accurate information during this public health emergency. The key findings being published today include: - The country is split 51/49 that the government is dealing with the crisis too slowly - A third do not trust the Prime Minister and the government to deal with the crisis well - 78% of people blame austerity and cuts to funding for the NHS struggling to cope with Coronavirus - A third of young people (30%) do not think Coronavirus is as serious as portrayed in the media - Two-thirds of people (65%) think it is important to seek alternative opinions about Coronavirus and not just rely on what we get told through the mainstream media - Close to half (42%) felt they would prefer to find the truth out about Coronavirus themselves than simply relying on the Government and their experts - Over 54% feel that ‘China is to blame for Coronavirus’ with only 23% disagreeing - 11% of Londoners say that they are having more contact than usual with their neighbours because of the Corona pandemic More details on the poll on the HopeNotHate website

I think those poll findings are pretty accurate I have no idea whether they are accurate or not - I am not allowed out to ask questions! But with all polls I suppose it depends on the questions you ask.
I think if Johnson was as unpopular as he seems to be on this board one has to ask the question why he was returned to power only a short time ago with one of the biggest majorities ever seen.

I can answer that He was elected simply because he promised to deliver Brexit that people were sick and tired of

-" Two-thirds of people (65%) think it is important to seek alternative opinions about Coronavirus and not just rely on what we get told through the mainstream media "
-" Close to half (42%) felt they would prefer to find the truth out about Coronavirus themselves than simply relying on the Government and their experts ."
These points in the poll above are just hilarious. Where are they going to get this information and would they understand it? Are the 42% suddenly qualified scientists? How do they plan to find out the truth about the virus. Will they travel to Wuhan and ask the Chinese? Really!

People just do not trust or believe politicians or "experts"

However one of the reasons Boris got such a huge majority could just be the quality of the opposition.

"Coronavirus: Boris Johnson 'still in charge' despite hospital admission" www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52180223Whist I cannot stand the man I do not wish anyone ill and I hope that he makes a speedy recovery However we must be practical and ask if he is indisposed for some time who will take charge, we don't have a deputy PM (other than Cummings!). How would the Queen appoint a successor and if the worse comes to the worse how would they organise a state funeral

How would the Queen appoint a successor and if the worse comes to the worse how would they organise a state funeral I think Raab is in charge while Boris is ill, but I really don't know. Government is more than just one person and there is a whole host of people behind the scenes. As for Cummings, I think he is well past his sell by date. And we all hope the outcome for Boris is good, so HM Queen appointing a successor will not happen. If it did happen, there would be a way found I am sure.
