Hope he recovers, and soon....

Agreed
Nobody wants Gove running the country, not even Boris.

I too wish the PM and anyone else fighting this wretched virus the strength to overcome it .

Indeed, no one person is more important than another.

In Intensive Care now...Raab deputising...

Once it was announced he had been taken in I said to 'er indoors (mind you we're all indoors) it would get worse.

One pattern in many fatalities seems to be to quite ill over a week or so but then show signs of recovery, feeling reasonably good almost to the point of normality, but then to suddenly deteriorate fast.

Fingers crossed but this pattern of symptoms never seems to end well.

I fear you may be right, he isn't on a ventilator apparently, as you say, fingers crossed and for everyone who has the virus.

Absolutely.

Agreed, fingers crossed for everyone. Except Carol Baskin goddamit.

I don't buy this 'precautionary' / 'to be close to a ventilator' line, even for a PM. He must be extremely ill to be in ICU in the first place - and an extended fever seems to hint at his body's immune system never really tackling or winding down from the infection which, from all accounts, then develops into it going into overdrive, which is ultimately the main cause of death.

A few days ago I heard a doctor saying that because a ventilator is such a feckin horrific experience for patients, most are put under a general anaesthetic until they recover or don't. It also helps them synchronise with the ventilator. ICU is not a nice place to be.

Certainly not saying it's a given but I won't be surprised if tomorrow's news is dominated by his death.

Are you still a believer in karma?

Perhaps for all the disgusting, vile, abuse suffered by a good man like Jeremy Corbyn, at the hands of Boris Johnson’s right wing media allies?

I may not agree with his politics but I hope he survives just has I would do for anybody inflicted with this virus.

The scariest aspect of this is that someone who will receive priority healthcare can still end up in such a serious condition.
Dont agree with his politics etc but, certainly hope that he pulls through this one.

Can you believe how statesman-like the press will build him up to be if he shakes this flu off?
Therefore......................................

Does this mean he's the sick man of Europe?

I hope he visited Norman Tebbit before he self isolated.

Is Tebbit still alive ?

He is. He just doesn't look it.

The Chingford Skinhead will be out polishing bikes.
Ready for us to jump on them when we get the covid all-clear.

I really do hope he recovers but I've got to say, the BBC (Bojo Broadcasting Corporation) are taking sycophancy to startlingly new heights.

Yeah, I mean, not like he is the Prime Minister or anything important like that.

Don't forget to clap for Boris tonight, probably not the first time he's had the clap.

Would the country honestly miss him?

1. Im not surprised she is a Miss
2 Is it Rosemary West?

Good to see Corbyns legacy of nastiness and hatred hasn't disappeared yet.

Are you including “Dumped Partners and Abandoned Children “ in that ?



What a Role Model you have in Boris for the young people to look up to.

Boris May survive the virus but he won’t survive the ERG knives

You do know he's gone now, right? The smear campaign is no longer necessary - you should have been stood down a few days ago.

What I'm finding interesting is every journalist telling me that the virus "does not discriminate," as if it's news; we already know that - it's a virus, not Nigel Farage.

Also interesting that Raab chose to suggest that Johnson will recover from COVID-19 "because he's a fighter." I really don't like that kind of language when related to illness - because it implies that people who die just weren't tough enough.
