    Sorry, but I can't help laughing about the sudden turnaround in compassion for the Prime minister on this thread.

    People who have been prolifically posting here for weeks proclaiming this news really brings it home to them?????

    The people who died over the last week, neighbours, grandparents, just didn't do it for them???

    most people here would be more familiar with boris than any of the anonymous people who have died so far in ireland so yeah it would hammer it home a bit.

    I do hope Boris pulls through. Yes he's a bit of a buffoon and very unpolished as a political leader but I like that about him. Don't think he's particularly a bad person either he went with herd immunity at first because that's the advice he was recieving at the time and reserved course in short order. I think people are particularly cruel comparing him to Trump, Trump is a horrible human being and President as well as self centered.

    Boris is one of those posh English dudes that we Irish tend to get along with just fine.

    Remember “Ted & Ralph” from the Fast Show?

    Seriously mate. I'm just back from our one and only daily walk/jog around the industrial estste with my kids (no park within 2km) - care to tell me what I and your similar suspect are doing that deviates one iota from Govt instructions?

    This isn't a Red Weather warning, this is a policy designed to limit spread. As long as we're keeping contacts to the household, we're doing our job, indoor or outdoor.

    And if a family walks past you on the footpath only a metre apart ye would be highly unlikely to contaminate each other either.

    Same as all the people on a beach, once families are spaced out a bit.

    I was not being critical of the decisions made I was pointing out that a high initial viral load can have an impact on how the infection develops.

    So his decision to shake hands with Corona Virus patients has proved to be extremely unwise.
    I wonder has he developed this bilateral interstitial pneumonia that a previous poster mentioned.

    Hopefully he gets out, he deserves a yellow for his stupidity not a red.

    I would not be giving the yellow card to Boris, but to Boris's chief scientific advisor Sir Patrick (herd immunity) Vallance.
    Boris is a good egg whi brings quite a bit of colour into Westminster, and I wish him well.

    It can be a last resort. From what I have read only 20% recover after being put on a ventilator. All the best to him.

    well some say it's at least a 50% recovery rate, so let's say "It's looking good for him" so. Be a little positive!

    Just looking at next door getting a take away delivered. The driver with no gloves and wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Why are take aways still allowed?

    Nobody but the info. is being drip fed.

    This time last night it was tests and precaution.

    This afternoon he supposedly tweeted all is well and he is in touch with his team.

    Raab admits he has not spoken to him since Saturday.

    Read between the lines, this is a lot worse than was being portrayed.

    Watching the coverage on Sky News. There was a few commentators being interviewed - they all spoke about the need to take the virus seriously now, as if the whole thing is still some sort of surprise or unexpected.

    That is very scary. I doubt I’m the only one who got a bit of the fear when our Dr Tony had to go to hospital, it’s a horrible thing for the people of the UK, as well as for him and his family personally
