Boris Johnson admitted to hospital - now discharged

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

I suspected it was crap when they said he was receiving his political papers in hospital. My question at the time was no one takes anything into a Covid 19 ward that can carry a virus in or out so what's going on?

Probably used electronic means.

Just for clarification, Johnson is conscious, not on a ventilator and was taken into IC about two hours ago as a precaution as his condition worsened today.

Sweet. He’s in intensive care. Christ on a bike

Hoping this is a shock ploy to get people inside but either way get well soon Boris!

You don’t go into ICU as a precaution.
It’s not looking good.
Hope he pulls through.

Nearly all go on a ventilator when they go in as well

This is a human being with a pregnant fiancée. A son, brother, father

Ditch your political views at the door

Get well soon Boris

According to that link earlier from incarc (granted a sample size of about 600 patients) it was pretty much 50/50 survival rate once in critical care and then down to 32% survival if needing advanced respiratory support.

From reports it seems to be a fast moving deterioration that occurs from needing some oxygen to needing a ventilator.

Christ.

Yet again, we've locked this thread so that some on here can take a step back and think long and hard about what they're posting. If you want to score political points, there's a Covid-19 thread in the political forum. If you choose to ignore this and continue taking cheap shots at a fella who's in an ICU right now, thread bans will follow.

Apparantly he formally asked Raab to take over

3% or something isn’t it?

I've no idea. But that seems very low
