    Maybe he's in ICU in case he needs a ventilator. I'd guess the PM gets a higher standard of care so they'll have a ventilator ready to go if needed.

    Hardly, how long would it take to get from a room to ICU, given, being the PM, all staff and equipment would be standby.

    They wouldn't be announcing this unless its really serious.

    They are dripping info. about 2 steps behind.

    Oh I'm not doubting you, it was a genuine question.

    I know, I’m just sharing info that I have read up on along the way with this horrible virus. Happy to share anything that people find useful if somewhat scary.

    Great ! But now is not the Time!

    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.

    I know someone who's out of the woods, he was in intensive care and a fitness fanatic.
    Caught a bad strain from a skiing trip.
    Mid 40s this is serious.
    Haven't seen him in months.
    Only found out about him today, all hush hush

    It depends on the strain of it, but if it's one of the bad strains it can really cause havoc.

    He's ok now, back to normal but he's lucky he pulled through.

    Im out of the firing line now from thinking I could have itt unknowingly two and a half weeks. Took all the precautions and keep using sanatiser and washing hands with soap and warm water.

    Its a horrible virus that's for sure.

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

    That seems like too long for a lot of people, mainly those who care more about money than people's lives.

    Not really, once the number of cases start to reduce, some restrictions can be eased, as long as social distancing remains well managed.

    Must be very serious. When I didn't see a photo opportunity at the hospital my initial thought was he's not in good shape.

    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???

    There was still only one strain identified last time I checked. When did they find the more deadly strain?

    Source: Department of Health and the Health Protection Surveillaence Centre.

    *"Recovered" rates are not reported by the Department of Health in the above link, these figures are taken from the Worldmeters and Johns Hopkins websites which use data suplied by the DoT to the ECDC under the WHO Guidelines for reporting. Recovered statistics can only be published as "recovered" following two successful tests of being clear of the virus under the WHO reporting guidelines, as a result it is likely the recovered data is skewed.

    ** Due to the above issue with reporting of revovered cases the number of active cases is also likely skewed.

    CNN saying that for someone in the age group of 50 to 60 has a 54% chance of pulling through. Presumably this applies to someone that is on a ventilator, which he does not appear to be as of yet

    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.

    Let’s be honest here - ICU means some sort of breathing assistance. And we know from Italian and Spanish stats that the chances of survival are 50/50 at best.

    This ain’t good.

    Yes and quite frankly that was pretty clear form last night. They wouldn’t have admitted him to the hospital had he not been near-critical.

    About as far from a normal man in his fifties that you can get, but that's definitely an image he's been trying (and succeeding) to sell for the last few years.


    As with anyone who has this horrible disease, though, I would hope that he pulls through.

    Not really, once the number of cases start to reduce, some restrictions can be eased, as long as social distancing remains well managed.
    Thinking about the briefing tonight it very much sounds like they want to get it to a place where they can manage it like the annual flu' season.

    I'm not a big fan of Boris Johnson and his politics but I still wouldn't wish this on him. I hope he pulls through and wishing him the best and family and the UK too.

    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 and staying near home, we're doing our job, indoor or outdoor.

    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.

    That wasn't just a little blip though. That decision is killing people now. About as serious a fcuk up as can be

    I know someone who's out of the woods, he was in intensive care and a fitness fanatic.
    Caught a bad strain from a skiing trip.
    Mid 40s this is serious.
    Haven't seen him in months.
    Only found out about him today, all hush hush

    It depends on the strain of it, but if it's one of the bad strains it can really cause havoc.

    He's ok now, back to normal but he's lucky he pulled through.

    Im out of the firing line now from thinking I could have itt unknowingly two and a half weeks. Took all the precautions and keep using sanatiser and washing hands with soap and warm water.

    Its a horrible virus that's for sure.

    It might be more to do with the viral load than the strain. People who are exposed to a lot of it all at once such as if they were coughed on or around loads of people who have it get an intense load of it all at once.
    Others might pick up a smaller viral load from just one person so their body copes with it better.

    I'm glad he's ok.

    Hope he recovers from this and when he does I am sure that, in the fullness of time, I will find it in my heart to dislike him again.
