Boris in ICU

[PicsInRed]

Oh Boris no 🙁

"four companies” President was referring to appear to be four biotech companies he was on a call with earlier... so 2 of these then:

Robert Bradway, CEO, Amgen
Alexander Hardy, CEO, Genetech
Daniel O’Day, CEO, Gilead
Leonard Schleifer, CEO, Regeneron

But also usually larger all round! So people seem littler irl.

This has really upset me poor Boris I will pray for him tonight 🙏🏻 god bless him

Trump is a consummate bullshitter. I wouldn't hold out on anything he says.

I have a terrible feeling Boris is going to be on a ventilator by morning, if he isnt already. I hope I'm wrong.

Poor Carrie, what a hideously stressful thing to have to deal with when pregnant.

Just woken up to this news here in Sydney. Sending good thoughts & wishes for a speedy recovery for your PM. It’s a difficult time right now & this must make it so much scarier. Stay home and stay safe xx

Everyone looks taller on telly

I've only ever met one other famous person and she was tiny so think you're right!

@SomethingOnce

Yes me too, can't stop reading on here & BBC website

TBH I' a little surprised at how shocked and surprised people seem to be about Boris. He clearly had quite a few risk factors for developing serious illness, he looked extremely ill and his continued illness after 7 days was also a big red flag.

Maybe it's become more 'real' to people now that this can happen to anyone, including the well known?

It's unlikely to progress massively over the next couple of days.

@starlightgazers
Something very much out of the ordinary most definitely

Yes very much out of the ordinary, I am frequently awake through the middle of the night, due to DC and never has the volume of military helicopters been this great (we are very close to a base)and yes earlier this evening yet more of these and other normal helicopters. Which has not happened in the whole time we have lived here. So yes out of the ordinary

Yes, it's called a pandemic. Stop with the conspiracy shite.
Quite obviously aware of this dear, don't patronise me with your supercilious cr**py comments, this was merely responding to another previous poster, who obviously observed the same real thing, you know as folks on an internet forum generally do. FFS

I like Boris. Really upset to hear he is in such a bad way.

Having it myself and having read the burning lungs thread, still being ill after 7 days falls within the norm. It seems many people develop breathing problems around day 6 onwards and you can appear to be recovering until then. It ebbs and flows in waves.

I hope he pulls through.

Was just watching BBC 24h News and a 'broadcaster' being interviewed on that was being very matter of fact with the possibility of death - quoting the 50% chance of survival once on a ventilator, and musing over how that statistic stood up with 'men in their 50s'. It was pretty blunt, to be honest.

I think Boris tried to carry on as normal too much instead of resting, at the beginning. I really hope he gets through it; I couldn't help thinking about the number of people who were piqued by his words about 'some of us will lose loved ones'. It would be awful if they foreshadowed his own family's experience.

never has the volume of military helicopters been this great

Ok, but I still don't get why the above would surprise you given that we are in the middle of a national emergency?

Why do so many of you have the preface your posts with "I don't like him" or "I didn't vote tory"? Your political view is irrelevant when our PM, a son, father and partner, is in critical condition during a global pandemic. You all should be fucking ashamed of yourselves for brining personal opinions/politics into it.

I wish him a full recovery but am very worried for him.

More virtue signalling, just what we all need. Perhaps people preface it with that as they don't want to sound or be accused of hypocrisy, especially if they have criticised him in the past?

In his position, anyone would.

A PM in a time of impending national crisis is hardly going to go “Oh look, 8pm, time for cocoa and a solid eight of beauty sleep.”

Whatever one’s politics, I think it’s clear Boris is quite fond of this country and has done his best.

I couldn’t believe Trumps address earlier. Like he’s spoken personally to Boris’s doctors and arranged to have just the drug that will cure him couriered to St Mary’s 🙄. Saint Trump of Trumpton, Saviour and man of the hour. Total twat.

He is doughty!!
come on Boris
💙🙏💙

I know! What an arrogant twat to think the medical staff would be falling over themselves to give him a drug recommended by St Trump the fucking expert. Dickhead!

I suppose if he's being trying to work long days while fighting the illness, it won't have done him any good. Really hope he pulls through - for those who love him, and also for the country.

His poor fiancee. She must be worried sick about him and about her own health right now.

Trump has now taken the role of 'mad drunk elderly uncle'

@stargazer never said I was surprised no.
I stated there's been a real change in the past few days, in response/agreement with the previous poster who said they were unsure.
Hope this helps ?!
Jesus Christ a man is facing a most horrific battle and you're nitpicking at nonsense- just why? It's blindingly clear what the points made meant

Don't worry everyone, St Trump to the rescue
He's like a dystopian Lord Flashheart 😱
