A reminder to all Americans that the net effect of our prime minister catching COVID-19 was that it prompted a surge of patriotic support. From which he emerged with renewed popularity. Which enabled him to tear up key functions of the state
It also silenced press & parliament at key moment in crisis from asking critical questions. And when it was announced he was moving to intensive care was moment of national shock. Everything about this is rocket fuel for ‘patriotism’

I honestly think this is a net negative unless Trump gets long term side effects like chronic fatigue
Johnson had just won his election and was in the middle of a victory lap when COVID hit. He was relatively popular before COVID hit and he wasn't out there flaunting denialism and touting fake cures in the six months prior.
Trump is a month out from election day, just spent the prior evening acting like a total asshole on national television, and has repeatedly insisted that COVID is "just the flu" and easily curable with fish-tank cleaner and a bleach injection.
The only thing that can wreck this for the Democrats is if they fall over themselves apologizes over how rude Twitter is being.
