Between this and IDS suggesting Boris's efforts to get well "aren't good enough" I really hope he's got people looking out for him who care about his recovery. It's not a personal weakness to end up in the ICU. You can't rise and grind your way off a ventilator. https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1247284180024725506
Also imagine this being your partner or your dad and hearing his so-called allies and supporters saying he just didn't try hard enough to get well.
This is almost word-for-word what IDS said on the World Tonight yesterday (right down to 'he's healthier than he looks"), Why are they trying to brief that the PM's exercise and clean living is a moral virtue?
Also this is entirely rooted in fatphobia, isn't it?
"Is he the sort of character who can come through this?" No, because your immune system doesn't function on the basis of your strength of character https://twitter.com/ITVNewsPolitics/status/1247481590852321280?s=20
Just to confirm, if you die of coronavirus it's not because you're weak or unfit or have a fundamental character flaw
Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhh
