Is Boris Johnson OK?

[Lumene]

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

Deliberately or not.

Guessing hes not too clever seeing as hes been admitted to hospital :-(

I do hope he's ok, for our country, his children and his fiancée and unborn child.

I thought it had been underplayed.. I hope the precautionary is not underplaying too.

I read somewhere that men seem to be more severely affected and take longer to recover than women in average. My ex gave me the virus but even though he's days ahead of me in terms of symptoms he is still very rough and on AB's with no underlying conditions, whereas I have chronic asthma and am now doing better.

I don't think much of the man but I also hope he pulls through, be terrible for national morale if he doesn't.

He looked awful. He is overweight and looks like he has high blood pressure.

I wish him well. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone

I really really hope the preventable risk factors are taken more seriously by people after this. Many - not all - are lifestyle related and medication related

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

No he hasn't, some people have little understanding of this world wide pandemic and how in the back scenes are scientists and experts scrambling for solutions.

You are so bitter in your partisan echo chamber that you highlight how really uneducated the electorate really is.

He's just been admitted to hospital as a 'precautionary measure'.

Anyone know how Prof Whitty is?*

I'm wondering this too..

Did anyone from the government actually suggest herd immunity? All I remember is a press conference where one of the medical advisors was speaking in general terms about herd immunity. I don't remember it ever being touted as a serious solution.

Well he looked rough on the box last week nd it was surprising when he hadn't recovered by Friday.

I very much hope he will be better soon.

He’s been admitted to hospital

Hes been admitted to hospital.

Paramedic DH says day 10 is the point it starts to get really bad if it's going to

No he hasn't, some people have little understanding of this world wide pandemic and how in the back scenes are scientists and experts scrambling for solutions.

There is a reason why most other countries made other choices though

We were wondering about Chris Whitty too.

Yeah, just seen the breaking news. I know they say precautionary but let’s face it....nobody goes to hospital at the minute unless it’s serious. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

Why do people keep posting he's been admitted? It's so weird not to read back and check if it's already been discussed.

He is overweight and looks like he has high blood pressure

I've seen this posted more than once, what are the outward signs of high blood pressure?

A nurse friend who has had CV says there’s often a relapse around day 10 after you think you’re on the mend, and this was true in her case.

I don’t think he would actually be admitted to hospital unless it was fairly serious.

They’ll be doing CT scans of his lungs, no doubt.

There are no "precautionary" admissions to hospital for Covid-19

If he is an inpatient he is seriously ill

I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Hope he feels better soon. Seems like they are downplaying it by describing it as 'precautionary' when they are admitting him at 9pm on a Sunday night. I imagine he is struggling with breathing.

OMG it must be serious - this is awful - I hope he makes a full recovery and doesn't have to be ventilated:
