Says its Russian disinformation on my Sky!! Not sure what ti believe!

4forkssake · 06/04/2020 20:20

Bloody hell he's now in ICU according to Sky News

Link?

Can't link as it's just ticker tape but I'm sure if you turn in the tv or look online at the news in 10 minutes it'll be updated

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 06/04/2020 20:20

Fingers crossed he pulls through.

KenAdams · 06/04/2020 20:21

Oh God. I thought the reporters must have known something. That's why they kept asking DR about it over and over today.

What?

Peapod29 · 06/04/2020 20:21

Oh shit. I can’t stop thinking about his poor girlfriend she must be worried sick and she has the baby to worry about too. This is just awful.

Tonyaster · 06/04/2020 20:21

God. Hope he's ok. Poor bloke.

OneMoreWish · 06/04/2020 20:21

My bbc news app has just had it as breaking news

StealthPolarBear · 06/04/2020 20:22

Yes the BBC says he's in intensive care

Besom · 06/04/2020 20:23

Oh jeez I really hope he comes through this.

4forkssake · 06/04/2020 20:25

They're saying he's in ICU 'in case' he needs further help. Seems strange to move him there just in case. Hope he pulls through.

SirVixofVixHall · 06/04/2020 20:27

Horrendous news, poor man , I hope he pulls through.

FlamingoAndJohn · 06/04/2020 20:27

Just popped up on my BBC news app that he is in ICU.
Poor man. They don’t do that lightly.

BeetrootRocks · 06/04/2020 20:27

I don't think they would move even him to ICU unless it was necessary tbh

Oh dear

Pomegranatepompom · 06/04/2020 20:28

How terrible. Awful times.

coachman · 06/04/2020 20:29

This is awful. I'm very upset for him and his family.

Alsohuman · 06/04/2020 20:29

It won’t be “just in case”. I hope he makes it, the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.

vera99 · 06/04/2020 20:30

Pretty shocked tbh - given how nasty this virus is if it takes you over his chances aren't that good.

Aesopfable · 06/04/2020 20:30

(wonder which Dom though...)

Only one is an MP and eligible

Praying for Boris and all the other victims.

Ipadipod · 06/04/2020 20:31

Nobody goes into ICU just in case , a normal hospital bed and observation is a ‘just in case ‘ measure.

itsgettingweird · 06/04/2020 20:31

Just came to say about ICU.

Shit this is bad.

Not a huge BOJo fan buts he's a human and he isn't the worst thing to happen to this country.

Raab would be worse. And also Cummings.

Let's hope he's back home and working soon for his sake, carries sake and the sake of the nation.

lannister · 06/04/2020 20:31

They're saying it's a precautionary measure to move him to ICU so that should he require ventilation it would be on hand for him (Sky news)

Roostersmum2 · 06/04/2020 20:32

I think this shows very clearly that his team were trying to minimise panic, and not being forthcoming about how unwell he was

"Taken in for tests as a precaution" and now moved to ICU "incase he needs it"

I understand why they've tried to minimise, this is terrible news.

I sincerely hope he pulls through. His poor family.

Applejaxx · 06/04/2020 20:32

Nobody goes to ICU ‘in case’. It’s intensive care, he’s very, very poorly and they need to stop playing it down and be honest with the public.
