Coronavirus - the new pandemic

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

Oh, yeah. Saw that on Twitter. Say what you will about Thirteen's Era, very few if any of its shortcomings can be pinned on Whitticker. Similar to, but not as insane as, Six's Era and Baker, now that I think about it.

Echo chamber?
...you think I have been in Echo Chambers?

I have braved the hellsites. I have argued with the worst of the worst on social media platforms. I have stared into the abyss, it has stared into me, and NEITHER of us liked what we saw!

What do you know, child?

Things like this do help the credibility of leaders. There is no greater aid for approval ratings than "I'm in the same boat as you are lads. Let's paddle together."
And make no mistake, his ratings are holding up well, the public are happy with his handling of the crisis.

As I have said before, like or hate him, he is an historic PM. 2019, landslide victory. 2020, Covid 19. 2021, Brexit. Historians will be debating him for hundreds of years.

He's "in the same boat" because your glorious leader is to much of a stubborn jackass to let a pandemic stop him from shaking hands.
