As per title

Wow

All the best Boris, you can beat this!








MOD: Please keep this thread respectful. Last night’s had to be removed as there were many distasteful comments left.

Oh dear....

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.

Hope the thread stays respectful. Come on Boris Lad!!

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.

Fingers crossed the top man pulls through

Anyone know what's happened to Pritti Patel, home secretary one of the top jobs, possibly even deputise for him, yet I'm sure she's gone AWOL.

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.

Not looking good is it.

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.

Blimey, that's not good news.

Come on Boris, show your mettle and beat the b@stard.

No fan of his but really hope he pulls through this.

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.

He's clearly struggling, yet they seem determined to keep playing it down. Hope he pulls through.

should make all those ***** who ignore the government advice to take stock finally. If he can be in need of such urgent care as a relatively young bloke, anyone can be.
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.

like everyone else with this horrid virus, I am cheering him on to battle it and win

Gutted.

Really worried about this.

It's St Thomas' hospital across from parliament.
That was on BBC news

he is obviously in good hands and hopefully he makes a full recovery

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.

Boris has been dealt a shite hand since becoming pm with the Brexit ********, now this damned virus.
Come on Boris.

St Thomas' and yes NHS.

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

Get well soon Boris and make a full recovery..

This transcends politics.

I wish him well and I hope he pulls through. He’s a fighter and that gives him a chance.

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.

The fact they tell us he's concious also rings alarm bells

Ah ffs, praying for the bloke.

As said above, what a wake up call this is for the nation

They've been playing it down all along though, they're clearly telling porkies now. You don't go into intensive care as a precaution.

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.

C’mon Boris ! Not a huge fan but quite shocked he’s in ICU genuinely hope he pulls through

Well said! I cannot imagine what the family of any person with this virus must be going through.

Get well Boris

Come on big fella dont let this little b.....d get you, your country needs you now, hope to God you pull through.

They said he was brought into hospital as a precaution as he still had a high temperature.
The news a couple of hours ago was that he has only just been moved to ICU

A bit shocking this. I hope he gets better.

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

Source: https://www.icnarc.org/DataServices/Att ... 505601089b

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

Come on Boris

Thoughts with him, and heres hoping he pulls through it...

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.

I started last nights thread, I was shocked at the vitriol - right now we need a leader, he is a leader, I’m sure Sir Kier Starmer would also make a great leader but whomever it is, it needs someone like BoJo. Just hope the fella pulls through.

Hooe he pulls through. Scary times.

I’m a long time Burnley fan and been on this forum and Claretsmad for years, even though not as a major poster as such but I will be leaving after this all blows over, I thought as fellow footy fans we had a kindred spirit but I have read such foul, hurtful things on here, those that have written such ignorant, distasteful posts should take a damn good long look at yourselves.

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.

Awful news. Hope he makes a full recovery
