Does anyone know how his health is and how he’s doing?

He looked really rough on his last video message, wouldn’t be surprised if he is having more symptoms than just the raised temperature that has been reported. Don’t really like the man but hope he gets better soon.

We thought he looked really ill as well. He didn't look like a man who was fine with only a mild temperature...

I'm sure he's getting the best care possible. Concerned for his fiance and their unborn child.

I don't think it's good news that he still has a high temperature after a week. But he's not exactly very fit, is he? Typical overweight well fed middle aged man. I know he likes cycling and jogging, but I could imagine he has highish blood pressure.

I hope he improves soon.

I’ve been wondering this, too.

Not a fan of a Boris, or indeed, any Tory, but genuinely hope he and his fiancée are on the mend.

Most of the posters on this thread are wishing him well in terms of his health Oneliner?

He’s a knob but I don’t wish him ill health.

Oneliner. Kindly do not speak on behalf of others. You may not wish Boris well but I do and so will many other people.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's reported that he's been admitted to hospital in the next few days. I don't like the man but wish him a full recovery.

He is not my favourite person but I wish him well and hope his health improves soon. That's because I am a compassionate human being who doesn't get her kicks from seeing a fellow human being suffer.

Not a fan of the man , but wish him a speedy recovery. He looked really unwell the other day.

I think he's iller than has been said.

But how is Chris Whitty? He's been in self isolaton for a good while now surely?

Piglet208 · 05/04/2020 18:12

@Oneliner You may not wish him well but don't assume that others feel the same. I would never wish anyone to be ill even my worst enemy. I would much rather he is well enough to be held to account for the decisions he has made.

I hope he's ok, the last thing we need is the prime minister to conk it, wether you like him and his decisions or not, his stability and leadership is pushing through this situation.
He did look pretty rough!
I hope he recovers quickly.

No news on Chris Whitty at all...

Thighmageddon · 05/04/2020 18:15

I'm not a fan of his or his party but I do think he sounded breathless and wheezy on his last recording.

I do hope he's ok.

All I can think about at the moment that are the number of young children that will grow up with one or both parent dead from this disease.

He's a complete knob who exposed half the government and countless others by not following his own guidelines, but I still hope they all get better.

It can often take 2 weeks plus to get better from the virus and many people have said it comes in waves so he may have felt better but is feeling rough again.

I loathe boris Johnson (not many I say that of) and have for many years.
I certainly wish him speedy recovery !! Can’t imagine wishing CV on anyone. I too thought he looked very unwell in latest video.

What a lovely soul you have.

I dearly hope you and none of your loved ones succumb to this virus.

Necessary?

It is really concerning that he is so absent from the public eye. I'd imagine he is being kept updated and hopefully working behind the scenes.

Be better, Boris.
