    I really feel for his partner with a child on the way, hopefully she won't come down with it too.


    His girlfriend Carrie Symonds tested positive for it 3 days ago.

    Does anyone have the stats on the % of people who make a recovery after getting to the ICU stage with this?

    Lovely man who said he wasn't going to adhere to social distancing even after his son's government recommended it.

    Rich, entitled, stupid attitude and endangered many lives by voicing his rubbish on the airwaves.



    .

    Here’s a typical nonsense comment. Tell me, if Stanley Johnson is “rich”, where did he make his money??

    Being twenty-four years younger than him, she has youth on her side.

    I'm not sure how I'd act in the face of this. I'd like to think that I'd give him my best. If it were him and somebody more deserving, there would be no question that I waste my time to save him over another. Isn't it lucky for him I'm not involved.

    A fancy roundabout way of saying you hope he dies you vile, disgusting person

    Complete hearsay, but on the grapevine coming from hospital staff he is being ventilated and in a bad way.

    Hope that's wrong.

    Just listening to BBC five live and the presenter has said a few times that Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care "as a precautionary measure" but you don't get moved to ICU as a precaution. Also, on a human level I hope he gets better as I don't agree with most of his politics views but honestly that's hardly relevant at a time like this. At the end of the day a politician is still a human being and has a family.

    Anyone you know shows symptoms for a prolonged period even if you have to bob them on the head get them to do something about it self isolation really isn't enough with this horrible virus.

    You can't know the psychological state of the frontline staff any more than I can. I'm just saying that the feelings I have towards him are as legitimate as the next person's. Maybe one of his unclaimed children will end up treating him. Perhaps the staggering austerity caused by him or the other Tories will have tipped some ordinarily unflappable staff over the edge at this particular juncture. Have you seen some of the medical staff interviewed for the news segments when he was canvassing last year?

    Now imagine you're inflamed even further because he was going around bragging that he was shaking hands last week and promoting a cull of the elderly, which has led to you and your colleagues lives being at risk.

    I'm no more a doctor or nurse than I am a ferrari driver and for good reason, I'd crack under the pressure. But so would anyone when they're pushed far enough.

    I sincerely hope someone as deranged and psychotic as yourself never ever is given any kind of position in the caring profession. I dread to think what you would be like even minding a pet...
    And to cast those aspersions on medical staff?....ugh

    Someone posted 60% earlier in the thread. 40% dont make it, not sure what the numbers came from sorry.

    Not too many. Our stats say:
    .
    Total number admitted to ICU 169
    Total number of deaths 167

    Stats may not compare, because I've seen 50/50 mentioned elsewhere.

    The poor man. Don't like him, but still, he doesn't deserve this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,026 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Mortality rate for all ICU admissions related to Covid-19 complications in Britain, is running at 48%. They don't put folk in there lightly.

    Could it be that as he's the PM they have in fact put him in there lightly? Who knows.

    What’s your source? A friend of a friend who works in the NHS?

    I'm saying if staff are triaging fairly, based on his medical outlook he may find himself managed out by the health service, which his party have gradually privatised more and more of down the years to the point that it's unrecognisable as a medical provider in the face of this pandemic. In which case he would be an unfortunate victim of circumstances of his own design. I'd rather nobody died from this virus.

    The 60/40 figure is from Italy. 40% survive. 60% dead.

    Other hospitals in Italy were reporting worse figures - 80/20.

    Either way - ICU is a bad bad sign.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭silver2020


    Twitter already full of disgusting remarks from corbynistas. They can't go a single day without letting themselves down. Hopefully he recovers fully and can continue to lead.

    That's a large swathe of how British people act these days. Not a nice place to be anymore. - I moved back last year when I saw how the masses started to vent against anything that was not true brit.

    But maybe they'll realise they are not invincible.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭bfa1509


    Not looking good. I doubt they admit people to ICU "as a precaution" even if they are the PM.

    Raab looked very uncomfortable when he announced that he was being brought to hospital.

    I hope Boris comes blasting out those doors soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,734 ✭✭✭lalababa


    The far left have become so utterly vile. They're so extreme.

    I've got one in my family and he's been getting worse and worse over the recent years since Corbyn came on the scene.

    Right now he'll be saying something like "serves him right, the Tories killed MILLIONS with austerity"

    Funny 'coz Corbyn is quite a gentleman. Yet he's portrayed as a communist vampire by the media. A fella said to me the other day that the English are so entralled by bias media they would elect a duck ahead of a perceived labour socialist.

    I'm not aware of his financial situation, but if I were to infer he was rich it would be because he consults for the UN and his children went to Eton, Oxford and other top-ranked schools with all the other pig-head fanciers. Are you his mom or something?

    From @jburnmurdoch

    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
