LondonLax Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It did look bad. Apparently the Guardian were told his condition was worse than the government were willing to let on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 According to the general stats people who go into ICU have a 50-50 chance of making it out alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 From the Guardian live updates page Quote It is understood Johnson was moved to the intensive care unit just short of an hour and a half ago. The decision was made by his medical team after his condition worsened over the course of Monday. The prime minister is understood to be conscious and to have been moved as a precaution in case he needs ventilation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/apr/06/coronavirus-live-news-boris-johnson-admitted-to-hospital-as-trump-again-touts-hydroxychloroquine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post It's Your Round Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2020 I hope Boris pulls through this, not that I’m a fan of him but I don’t wish him dead. He might just gain a new found perspective on the great work that the NHS do. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I abhor his politics, but he doesn't deserve this in the slightest. Hope he pulls through. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t go into hospital for two days with coronavirus unless it’s serious. PM or no PM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If the PM doesn't get an ICU bed reserved for him then I don't know who does. We'll wait and see how bad this gets but sure does feel like a whacky drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this usually happen? I would’ve thought the situation would’ve been much more serious than just “precautionary” for him to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICU is for when you need 24 hour monitoring and are hooked up to all the top-end lifesaving machines, and the number of beds is strictly limited - at Good Hope there are what half a dozen? Even if you're PM they surely wouldn't give you a bed there unless it's critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a very similar vein, I meant to link this the other day which I thought was really interesting. https://www.politico.eu/article/boris-johnson-learn-pericles/amp/ Quote British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has long hailed the ancient Athenian statesman Pericles as one of his idols, but their careers are now aligning more closely than he would like in the age of the coronavirus. Both men plunged into high-stakes geopolitical showdowns against an alliance of powerful neighboring states, only to be knocked off course by the onset of a deadly disease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
