Boris Johnson admitted to hospital - now discharged

[marco]

Their communications team were well out of order when they said it was ‘routine’ and he was continuing to work - it simply was never going to be true. No one goes into hospital and takes up resources during a pandemic for a fucking check-up. This might sound grim but how many come out of IC once they are in?

well yes it obvious,,most tests could have been done at No10,only xray and ct scan which means he must have a build up in his lungs

i read 1 in 10 come off the ventalator to survive,how true that is i dont know,maybe someone else could have a say

It's 50% survival rate if you are on a ventilator. Boris isn't currently on one.

I'm totally ignorant to this, who runs the country if he needs a few weeks off to recover? Is there a standard fallback plan? Hope he gets well soon of course.

You might be right pal, maybe the 50% figure, which I’ve read a number of times, was a % of the total of all those who are admitted to hospital with covid symptoms.

Come on Boris, beat the fucker!

 

[kippax4ever]

He can't still be running the country from there can he?

Let someone else have a go and rest up ffs

London radio(think Hancock) said he still running the country 1-2hrs ag0

I hope that journalist who asked today was he taking up a bed from someone seriously ill feels like a right **** now

Wishing him a full recovery but if he ends up on a ventilator the odds are not very good a 1 in 5 come through that.

Have they specified that he isn’t on one?
