So the last person with coronavirus recovered just in time for the Prime Minister’s announcement that we can move to level one but it was a close call. Or was it? The declaration of a full recovery was made with two hours to spare. Spare a thought for the Prime Minister whose undergarments could have been a touch moist as she sweated on her three o’clock directive to the nation.
We can now all muse on whether we would have been allowed to move down a level had the person not obligingly recovered. I wonder if the name will appear in the next honours list for services to health and the Prime Minister. After all that’s what the game was all along, to be able to stand on the global stage once more and announce to the world that due to her going hard and early we are now clear of any cases.
On hearing the news the Prime Minister did a little dance. With Englebert Humperdinck in mind a lot of us will be hoping it’s the last waltz with you. One can only hope it’s the last of the daily electioneering disguised as a coronavirus discourse. That must be of some sadness, if not concern to her, that she has lost her regular political platform. One wonders what will take its place.
So we are all supposed to now bask in the global glow that our Prime Minister, indeed world leader, has procured for the country. This is a woman who, as we know, can find basic tasks a problem. However, when it comes to Captain’s Calls like closing down an industry, or for that matter the whole country, she has proven to be very adept. The closing down strategy is now complete. We await to see how adept she is with the opening up strategy beyond throwing money around.
Her Captain’s Calls in this regard might more resemble a ship in a storm as she and her agglomeration of landlubbers find themselves all at sea.
