The Queen’s working with Covid and the Daily Mail said she’s an example to us all – only 9 responses you need
We send our very best wishes to the Queen who has tested positive for Covid just 10 days after Prince Charles also fell foul of coronavirus.
Coming just as Boris Johnson plans to sweep away remanining anti-Covid restrictions, you can read 24 of our favourite reactions here.
We mention it again because of the Daily Mail’s front page on the topic today, which said this.
And these are surely the only 9 responses you need.

Don’t want to be a dick about it but there’s a difference between doing light work from palace and cramming yourself onto a commuter train on your way to infect an office pic.twitter.com/V0fbVVaxv0

Daily mail going full daily mail there, if only the 160,000 people who died from covid just chose to work through it instead pic.twitter.com/obgfmV6Mku

Even by The Mail’s standards, this is grotesque propaganda. Coronavirus isn’t some moral challenge – if you try hard enough, you’ll get through it. Tens of thousands of people have died. Millions are shielding 24/7. This front page is a genuine insult to them all. https://t.co/NzG53aZTVt

I guess all the people who died just didn’t try hard enough. They should’ve been more like the Queen, lazy sods. pic.twitter.com/CW61NUHvwP

This is deeply fucked. She’s 95, let her have a week or two off, ffs. And the rest of us shouldn’t be going into an office when we’re sick, especially when we can work from home and not make our colleagues sick too. https://t.co/ud35tIlMNc

Was a simple ‘Get Well Soon Queen’ too much to ask? Instead of contorting taking work off if you’re sick with Covid into some moral failure. https://t.co/uctQI34tqW

The Queen got a test
She’s isolating
She’s being treated for Covid19 by a team of “world class” doctors.All things the U.K. population won’t have access to from Thursday.

"The Queen is still working when she's ill so what's your excuse, proles?" is quite the take, isn't it pic.twitter.com/i5zUeLq1LG

Queen sets example to all: live and work in palace
— James Felton (@JimMFelton) February 20, 2022
To conclude …
Why does the Mail feel the need to imply that taking time off work when you’re unwell is a weakness?
Why does it feel the need to underplay the effects of a deadly virus that’s killed over 150k in the UK alone?

And this.
Thank goodness we’re going to be destroyed by the climate collapse so historians of the future won’t be able to study this fucking dogshit claiming to be journalism https://t.co/3HhFrhRWAl
