I guess he got his wish when he eventually got infected and spent what 6 weeks in intensive care... so i guess he was wrong that it was no big deal...

The Firesign Theater on one of their comedy albums had a game show called „Beat The Reaper.“ The contestants were injected with a disease and had ten seconds to guess, from the symptoms, what it was. If they were able to guess the disease, they got an immediate antidote. If not, well, the mc said, „awwww, he didn‘t beat the Reaper.“

Dark humor, and probably NOT the sort of thing they expected some PM of Great Britain to actually pull in real life. Of course, there‘s a LOT of really crazy stuff going on now that people never would have thought conceivable 50 years ago.

shirt, open at the neck with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. I guess he wanted to show us all
that he's just a regular guy! LOL It's too bad we can't just send him, BOJO, our former fascist guy
and a planeload of others someplace else. Anywhere else!
