Pebble thats Stubby Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 He had a breakfast meeting with several other mps. So they were eating thus not mask wearing. It could be a potential superspreader event. On the night side Dom had allready left so won t need another eye test at Bernadrd Castel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a spreader event, since half a dozen other people are now isolating as well, but I think to be a superspreader event it needs to have dozens or hundreds of people present. Still, at least the track and trace system worked in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yeah, there's a lot to criticise about Johnson in general but I don't really have an issue with this. He's come into contact with someone who's tested positive, which is going to happen to people, and is following the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble thats Stubby Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think there was supposed to be 32 MPs present from what I heard on the TV although the track and trace has only identified 9 people. Guessing the others where sitting a bit further away from the infected. I doubt most will have caught it, but it could easily have spread to several. To be clear I don't have a problem with Boris having a meeting with lots of people, not so sure it was wise for a meal to be served at the same time since that makes it hard to wear masks. especially when the country is in a lockdown phase. If you need to eat while at a meeting maybe do a Zoom. save the in person meetings to when you can mask up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t a certain spreader or superspreader event require someone, or several someones, to actually have been confirmed to have caught it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. One attendee, Lee Anderson had been confirmed to have the virus but so far no one else been confirmed to do so. So no spread may have taken place. Johnson has said the meeting proceeded with social distancing (despite being photographed in reasonable proximity to Anderson) but the test and trace service considered that inadequate due to the length of the meeting.

A wilding Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 So Johnson has now made one of his famous "didn't bother to read the briefing" causal gaffes. Apparently he said yesterday that devolution had been a disaster in Scotland. That's a gift to the SNP to put it mildly. Still it is at least an amusing contrast with his stated views on Brexit I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d let Corbyn back in the PLP then apparently at least one Jewish MP would have quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
