Oh good.  I don't like the guy but I don't want him to die either.  Plus, now I can laugh at the "What were you supposed to do?" meme without feeling guilty anymore.

You'll excuse me for being confused by the headline, as "pining for the fjords" was the shopkeeper's explanation for what the parrot was doing instead of being dead.

That does not mean what you think it means, tardedmitter.


For the rest of you: BoJo is out of ICU. He is not dead. He's getting better. He's not going on the cart.

Well, fark. That means he's going to not only leave the hospital, but tout his newly-acquired "herd immunity" as the right & proper way to handle COVID-19.

Good luck, UK. You're gonna need it.

You're correct.  The original line was used as an explanation for why the parrot appeared to be dead.  "He's not dead.  He's pining for the fjords".

Perhaps the intention was to imply that he was dead, and people were making up reasons why he was in fact not dead the whole time.  And now that it's clear he's not dead, we don't need to pretend the he is "pining".

In any case, it doesn't work.  The correct line, if you insist on a Python reference, should have been that, "he is not ready to get on the cart."

How many times does it have to be pointed out that while his science advisers advocated herd immunity he was saying containment was far better?
Here he is over a month ago saying that while "some argue" for herd immunity "I think it is far better" to contain and slow the spread as much as possible.

If we know one thing about how his types work, that is NOT what will happen.

This will be used to show that the virus can be easily beaten.  And we have nothing to worry about.

Darwin's hands are currently full with the olds who chain smoked and or ate nothing but fried foods for most of their lives.

Ten years older Boris would've been a goner. The guy looks like congestive heart failure.

Except that might not fit either, because in that case, the poor guy feeling happy was murdered for convenience sake.
