Worrying times for his family. Wishing you a recovery Boris.
Herd immunity, innit.
Ain’t karma a bitch! I hope he recovers. I think he will have a new respect for the NHS and for pandemics. Raab is hardly going to improve things.
And a new respect for “experts” e. g. his doctors would not go amiss
It was Gove who dissed the concept of experts, not Boris J.
Unfortunately I doubt he would develop any respect for either.
He’ll be a very lucky man if he scrapes thru this. Wonder how he feels about shaking hands now…. Don’t wish ill on the fellah, but yeah, karma….
Get well soon Boris
The last thing the lad needs now is to be reminded of his own hubris
I thought he looked fierce shook there in Sunday in the door of No. 10, and totally expected him to be shifted
I think he’s sick enough as it is
And now with Dominic Raab in his job
The lad must be really suffering
So he doesn’t need the likes of me rubbing it in to make him feel any worse
I hope for all his children he comes out the other side
Although I’d rather worry about our own El Charger
Hope he recovers OK. He’s in good hands; the NHS.
Is he being treated by NHS or actually by private care?
St Thomas’ hospital, London is an NHS hospital.
Why some people are celebrating anyone being moved to an ICU anywhere is beyond me.
To clarify – it was a genuine question; someone casually mentioned to me that he was actually receiving private care ( or ‘royal’ care )
I don’t wish ill on him, or anyone*
(*My house has been burgled twice this year; those responsible can suffer from something as yet undiagnosed by science)
Once a patient is admitted to ICU in the UK with coronavirus their chances are 50/50
“Some context as UK PM Boris Johnson is admitted to intensive care:
A new report from @ICNARC found that of 690 UK covid patients admitted to ICU with a reported final outcome, 50% died and 50% lived https://t.co/W9Rg0z68Jf https://t.co/kRSXCwZmz2“
Presumably a lot of the people admitted to the ICU with Corona are very old or with an underlying condition, so I’m not sure that his odds are all that bad.
he’s in his 50s, is overweight and drinks a lot by all accounts. 50/50 might be about right i’d say.
I think you will find his chances are better than 50/50 … the casualty rate is definitely skewed towards the older, sicker generations. He has yet to reach a need for a ventilator, so hopefully he will be OK.
Poor guy. Get well soon.

You know you don’t have to like someone’s politics or professional life to be able to empathize with their situation?
Hope he recovers. Might not agree with his politics or policies, but I wouldn’t wish the man ill. At end of the day it could be any of us in that position. Some strange backhanded comments on here from some.
You should’ve seen what’s been deleted! :/
Fingers crossed.
while i don’t wish the man any specific harm, i certainly wish him the same consideration he offers the UK’s most vulnerable and needy.
which isn’t much.
