Boris Johnson admitted to hospital - now discharged

I don't like the language of some of the statements being made on Sky news at the moment, the wording is very worrying no matter how high profile he is the NHS wouldn't give up a bed in ICU unless there was a genuine need for it.

It just goes to show, if the Prime minister can get the virus with all the resources available to him then anyone can, it should make everyone stand up and take notice. This is a very real threat to everyone and it needs be treated as such.

I've no idea. But that seems very low

I’m thinking of ICU ‘deaths:recoveries’ but I just don’t think they’re recording recoveries so it’ll be wildly different to 3%.

whatever peoples political views no one can not say he is very likeable person
and had to deal with brexit and then the corona virus as soon as becoming prime minister
i for one hope he comes through this especially for his family

The "recoveries" number hasn't changed for 2 weeks, I guess its not a number that really needs worrying about right now, bigger issues altogether.

There are a large number of hospitals who aren’t anywhere near running out of ICU beds.

It seems to be that in some areas hospitals are having it tough and are very busy but in others it’s quiet. Very different things going on from borough to borough even if they’re next door to each other.

Could be that he’s in one of the quieter hospitals. They might just keeping him in IC as he’s not improving while they’re quiet and can afford to do that, hopefully it’s that way and he’ll be out come the end of the week.

Has anybody heard of anyone actually having these "mild" symptoms? Everyone I've read who had it says it was fucking awful, even if they didnt have to go to hospital.

Anything that doesn’t require hospitalisation is classed as “mild”.

 

[Proy]

There was a reason for a hospital admission and there is now a reason for an ICU one. It’s not a precaution.

Hope to god he pulls through.

Absolutely shocking news.

One of the UKs first superspreaders, the guy who got it in Singapore, said he never had any symptoms.
