			I don't think he or his wife are telling the truth   
 
But that's 'probably' just me.  I'm completely lost in the comings (sic) and goings in this thread. 
 
All could have been avoided if hadn't said she felt unwell I guess . . . she was tested wasn't she?

He's said not had to wear his glasses in  years. True statement because big clue: 2014 was years ago.

 Cars are not designed to kill people, in fact they are designed not to kill people, so they are not "killing machines".

 Short sightedness does not get better on it's own - it can only be improved with glasses or laser surgery.
 
You can't be "almost blind", and then miraculously not need glasses.
 
Also, DC lied today when he said

 This shows what he originally wrote in his blog last year - references to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year.

Actually, it was modified on the 14th of April this year  <lastmod>2020-04-14T20:55:20+00:00</lastmod> - his first day back at work...

 How else would you explain a family day trip on your wife's birthday at a time when the messaging you've helped devise says such inessential trips are against the rules? I'm not sure even given a month a half, J.K. Rowling could  come up with a convincing story.

			This is not “watergate”, the media need to move on as it is getting very tedious and very boring. 
 
It’s not going to bring down the Government, it’s not going to bring down the PM, it doesn’t even look like it will bring down him. 
 
If the media keep pushing and pushing for his head, and they don’t get it, it will appear a bit desperate.

 I am not sure I have ever known Johnson to be "almost blind" perhaps he was using that term figuratively, perhaps try not to get sucked in to literal meanings Hugh.

 Not really, I’m not hounding for his resignation or for him to be sacked. All I’d like to see is a competent investigation and at the end  IF he’s guilty of any law breaking then to be punished accordingly. 
 
I’m sorry to hear your disappointed in me. I’ll try not to lie awake worrying about it.

 That's not how you said it. You said it because you have a bias, you have a desire to see him convicted and lose his job. This is just showing hatred for someone regardless of their innocence.

 To clarify, I am disappointed in your lack of objectionable judgement that you normally present yourself with, usually. Lacking today though because of who Cummings is.
