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

SouthWestmom · 05/04/2020 21:18

Well I'd assume it will be precautionary (I hope) as in he is getting worse rather than an emergency. Wouldn't wish ill health on anyone.

BackInTime · 05/04/2020 21:19

Does that mean we've got Raab in charge? God help us

ginandnappies · 05/04/2020 21:19

I knew it! He looked awfully ill in the video he posted. I don't like him or his politics but I hope he recovers soon.

Cacaca · 05/04/2020 21:19

He’s been admitted to hospital / breaking news now.

Thinkinghappythoughts · 05/04/2020 21:20

He is a gambler who has taken a punt with the health of the citizens of this country. It's personally backfired.

He's stupid but stupidity shouldn't be a capital offence
I don't think you're been reading some of the threads on here. Boris Johnson, yes, he gets compassion despite stupidity leading to the deaths of others. Your average person in the supermarket or neighbour - not so much!

MabelMoo23 · 05/04/2020 21:20

Absolutely no surprise, he looked dreadful last time and didn’t seem to be improving.

Really really hope he’s ok - as much I’m not his biggest fan, I truly hope he’s ok

Sweden also differs from the UK in that around 50% of the population there live in single person households. They're not doing nothing either. People are being told to socially distance, large gatherings have been banned. If and when people in more affluent parts start seeing widespread infection I wouldn't be surprised if they then implemented lockdown. I don't know the situation with their healthcare system but generally Scandinavian countries have better funded healthcare than the NHS. We can't compare with other different countries.

imacmum · 05/04/2020 21:20

Just had a newsflash, he’s been admitted to hospital for tests

Hope he’s ok

coachman · 05/04/2020 21:20

I wish him well. Regardless of what I think of him, he's the leader of our country. And a son and father. I hope he's ok.

Standrewsschool · 05/04/2020 21:20

Hopefully it’s precautionary. Get well soon Boris!

Futureplanning · 05/04/2020 21:20

Hope Bojo gets better soon.

Anyone know how Prof Whitty is?

Janus · 05/04/2020 21:20

I’ve been following this thread.
He is not someone I’ve liked but I truly, honestly hope he’s ok and will be well.

UpsyDaisysarmpit · 05/04/2020 21:20

Just coming on to say same - seems we were right.
Get well soon PM Sad

agentstarling · 05/04/2020 21:21

he's just been taken to hospital

ViciousJackdaw · 05/04/2020 21:21

Just watching it now Cac - precautionary rather than emergency. Hope he's ok (and I say this as a hater).

UYScuti · 05/04/2020 21:21

'tests' what does that meanConfused

Stressedteacher2435 · 05/04/2020 21:21

It’s on the news, he’s just been admitted to hospital ☹️

480Widdio · 05/04/2020 21:22

Hope he gets well soon,such a horrendous virus.

Thinkinghappythoughts · 05/04/2020 21:22

He’s been admitted to hospital / breaking news now.

I do feel for him. I also doubt he'll be treated at this hospital: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/05/hertfordshire-hospital-forced-to-consider-who-should-be-refused-oxygen

starrynight19 · 05/04/2020 21:22

That’s awful I hope he is ok hasn’t looked well at all in his videos but obviously trying to keep going.

ViciousJackdaw · 05/04/2020 21:22

'tests' what does that mean

He probably just needs a chest x-ray and a good puff on the spirometer (if that's the right word...).

DarnedSocks · 05/04/2020 21:23

That's not good news. I do hope he's ok.

samandpoppysmummy · 05/04/2020 21:23

He's just been admitted to hospital.

AgeLikeWine · 05/04/2020 21:23

This news isn’t a surprise. When Matt Hancock was interviewed on Sky this morning he was asked some very direct & pointed questions about Boris’s health, so there have obviously been rumours about this circulating at Westminster.

I don’t vote Tory, but I wish him well.

neveradullmoment99 · 05/04/2020 21:25

Not that I have ill wishes and wouldn't wish this virus on anyone but...

People have short memories. He was quite willing to let us all get it to develop a herd immunity.
