Shit! Poor Boris. I really hope he recovers from this.

evilharpy · 06/04/2020 20:25

Are there any stats on how many require ventilation/being in ICU and recover?

Eggcited · 06/04/2020 20:25

LittleSweet

It really isn't the time to be political. At the end of the day he's someones dad, son, partner etc and he's very unwell.

SquatBetty · 06/04/2020 20:25

I can't stand the man but really don't want him to die. Hope he pulls through.

Porcupineinwaiting · 06/04/2020 20:25

Poor man. Wishing him a good recovery. Sad

Bool · 06/04/2020 20:25

@LittleSweet don’t get political

H1978 · 06/04/2020 20:25

Got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about this Sad

Tonyaster · 06/04/2020 20:26

I don't think the stats are very good Sad

Curious78 · 06/04/2020 20:26

Fed up of the political references as a snide backhanded get well soon message. Bore off.

Bearbehind · 06/04/2020 20:26

Um he's the prime minister who is cutting funding to the nhs... so it is political. I'm hoping he realises that he needs to change policy.

FFS - some people are truly disgraceful

The man is in intensive care and you’re moaning about him not changing his policies right now

You should be ashamed

KeysDontBelongInTheFridge · 06/04/2020 20:26

@evilharpy it’s 50/50 Sad

BiologyIsReal · 06/04/2020 20:26

FFS - If you can't stand the bloke shut the fuck up.

Barbie222 · 06/04/2020 20:26

@evilharpy I read somewhere 50/50 once ventilated.

fuckinghellthisshit · 06/04/2020 20:26

They've held it back until after the update so they couldn't be questioned at the press conference. This is terrifying and horrendous.

Mrsmadevans · 06/04/2020 20:27

OMG the poor man l so hope he recovers please God , l am very upset for some reason

SeaViewBliss · 06/04/2020 20:27

Hope he gets better soon. It’s terrifying for every family affected. His are no different.

AuntieStella · 06/04/2020 20:27

Poor chap

Thoughts very much with all,those in ICU and the staff who are working insanely hard at the moment

LaurieFairyCake · 06/04/2020 20:27

50/50 in Italy once ventilated

80% chance of dying if ventilated in UK

whataballbag · 06/04/2020 20:27

Poor poor man, I hope he recovers well

KeysDontBelongInTheFridge · 06/04/2020 20:28

(Thought I’d better quote my source : www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/28/coronavirus-intensive-care-uk-patients-50-per-cent-survival-rate)

Kittykat93 · 06/04/2020 20:28

Gosh. I had a feeling he was more poorly than they've been making out. Hoping he pulls through. I've never been his biggest fan but have actually came to respect him through all of this, I think he's been dealing with it well in what is a ridiculously tough position.

PicturesOfCats · 06/04/2020 20:28

Maybe he will realise that the nhs is great and put more funding in

Ffs, what is wrong with people

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 06/04/2020 20:28

I've read that 2/3 on a ventilator die.

But he's younger than most in that situation, that may be on his side

FascinatingCarrot · 06/04/2020 20:28

Poor poor bloke, get well soon Boris

meow1989 · 06/04/2020 20:28

Not a tory, not a bojo fan, but hope he recovers quickly and that his fiancee is well. Horrible to happen to anyone.
