Bloody hell, just got the news flash.

Get well Boris, didn't like you on iota but you've been doing well for the nation.

We can all beat this, if we follow the stay at home advice.

Feel for his pregnant partner, this must be heartbreaking time for her.

Really hope it's an over the top approach and he is fighting fit asap

They're saying it's a precaution in case he needs to go on a ventilator. (Channel 4 news)
Condition definitely worsened, though.

You don't go into intensive care willy nilly, and certainly not in situations like this.

Yeah I too heard this. Although it was also said when he went into hospital that that too was just as a precaution.

I suppose it was always a possibility, as it is for anyone contracting this disease, shocking nonetheless.

Hopefully he, and many others, will come out of the other side, fighting fit.

These things regarding high profile figures are usually played down to try and keep normal service.

Real shocking news. He has not helped himself by not resting up, now it is time for him to take it easy and look after himself first and foremost the country will still be here when he is discharged. Get well soon.

This doesn’t sound or look good. I hope this isn’t going to get any worse for him.

I couldn’t care less about politics ordinarily. But I believe he’s done a great job under even greater pressure.

He’s the only PM I have ever bought into.

All else I can say is the same as I posted last night.

Really hope he pulls through.

Raab was officially appointed to deputize if needed over a week ago.
Patel I don't think has the right facial expression to deliver news in a global pandemic so not surprised she's been told to take a back seat.

Do hope the PM recovers, not something anyone should have to go through.

hope he makes a swift recovery.

He's in a London Hospital they will not name, does anyone know if it's NHS care? I'd be surprised if the PM did not receive private medical treatment.

Worrying news that's for sure,but many people older than Boris have come out of intensive care fully recovered.

It does suggest that he'll need to take a step back from leading the nation,even if and when he recuperates,he'll need some rest time to recoup his batteries again.

The BBC report suggests this may just be precautionary,but even so it's not good,and clearly his conditions have worsened.

Get Well soon Boris.

St Thomas' and yes NHS.

It's worrying but hopefully he'll not deteriorate any further.

NHS hospital near Westminster, apparently. St Thomas’ I think I read earlier?

If he ends up on a ventilator I think the stats are pretty poor. About 80% recover with a normal pneumonia needing a ventilator but this bugger it is about 50:50 as they go on to get ARDS. Even those who survive take an eon to recover fully. I fear there is going to be another election soon for the next Tory party leadership. Feel really sorry for him, his partner, his siblings but most of all his parents with whom I empathise should the worst happen.
Normally one might have expected him to be on HDU but if he is actually on ITU then he must be near to needing ventilation.
Inchy may post as to how things go with HDU ITU in the present circumstances.

I was in intensive care for a week in 2009 and, believe me, they don't put you in there unless you're pretty ill!

Come on Boris, you can pull through.

Sends a bad message if he’s taking an ICU bed as a precaution. Can’t help but feel there’s more to it.

If it's serious enough I think you tend to go straight to ICU and I'm not sure if they have HDU at the moment. When I had surgery I was taken straight into ICU and put on a ventilator for 19 days and came round in HDU but I suspect due to lack of space and beds it's different at the moment.

This guy sounds like he had similar complications to Boris, but looks like he's on the road to recovery.

52% of men in his age band who go into ICU with Covid, don’t come out. 48% do.

When people say Boris’s life is being ruled by those percentages, its meant to be darn hyperbole.

Many ICUs take level 2 (HDU) patients as sometimes hospitals just have level 2/3 areas rather than a level 2 ward (HDU) and a level 3 ward (ICU).

Either way it’s serious and I wish him all the best.

This terrible news should act as a wake up call to all the people who have been treating the last couple of weeks as a holiday.
I really hope that he pulls through as quickly as possible because there is no doubt that the country is going to need him in the coming months.
