The Only Topic Of Conversation

The PM says we may have coronavirus beat in twelve weeks time. That's nothing, I think- and then I count it out on my fingers and- hang on- he's talking about the middle of June and that's ages away.

Coronavirus is sweeping everything else from the news agenda. The War in Syria? The refugee crisis? Global warming? Sorry, come back in twelve weeks time.

Brexit? No idea, but did you see that Michel Barnier has tested positive?

I think he was unwise to start quoting timescales.

Have you noticed how much he has aged already?
