I'd go back to a much earlier point; what is going to bring Boris down will not be COVID, it will be the normal day to day detail which will give him. I trust his ability to survive any crisis, but mundane routine is sure to nail him.
Living out COVID 8,000 miles from the UK it's very interesting to watch the UK media and public reaction without any particular personal frustration or annoyance. Or stake in the game, really.
For many months stupid little sensationalist nitpicking and stone throwing has been replaced by a desperate need to be the bigger man (or media outlet) in a time of crisis. Something Boris excels at, I think.
As the crisis has receded the immature, sensationalist, mercenary, sanctimonious and hypocritical behaviour focussed on often irrelevant yet emotive detail has galloped back onto the scene. Something Boris doesn't deal with well.
