One Year Ago Boris Johnson Recovered From Coronavirus Reading Tintin Posted on I just have booked to get my first coronavirus vaccine jab on Thursday in Hammersmith. It took seconds to book on the NHS website, and I also booked my second jab as well. Doing the Daily LITG I was reminded that a year ago, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was in recovery after a serious case of coronavirus. Weeks before, he had been valiantly and boastfully shaking the hands of coronavirus patients, and karma bit him on his arse. The experience did seem to be a Road To Damascus moment, government policy changed, and everyone started taking it a lot more seriously. Apart from his own father, of course.
