Boris probably has a 50/50 chance now, even with the best care.

Where do you get that idea from? Based on current available data, around 20% of cases are severe, needing hospitalisation for oxygen support. A proportion of those will need ICU and ventilation - it is these patients who have a 50% survival rate.
Please don’t throw figures around without providing any evidence, people are alarmed enough about this as it is.
From the WHO report on their mission to China....
“Most people infected with COVID-19 virus have mild disease and recover. Approximately 80% of laboratory confirmed patients have had mild to moderate disease, which includes non-pneumonia and pneumonia cases, 13.8% have severe disease (dyspnea, respiratory frequency ≥30/minute, blood oxygen saturation ≤93%, PaO2/FiO2 ratio 50% of the lung field within 24-48 hours) and 6.1% are critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure). Asymptomatic infection has been reported, but the majority of the relatively rare cases who are asymptomatic on the date of identification/report went on to develop disease.*
