Boris in hospital

[grahamg]

The news that the UK prime minister has be taken to hospital came out late last night.

Reassurances are being given, this is a precaution, and he remains in charge of the government, just as he's said to have soldiered on working for the last ten days since becoming infected with Coronavirus

No one can have for seen developments since he became prime minister, but just now he's not had the luckiest six months or so. In the 1950s our then prime minister fell I'll (Winston Churchill), and the home secretary covered for him for a few months without the public becoming aware of his ill health. Obviously the media played their part in allowing this yo happen for the good of the nation, and in any case our government used to go into the summer, and more or less shutdown for a few months to give us all a rest.

None of this can happen now, and the demands upon those holding high office are never ending. He'll get the best care, and God willing will soon be better, but you just wish he could have a little more peace as was once possible.

This is worrying. I do hope he's going to be alright

 

[Marlene]

I hope he recovers fully and quite soon. I have a pen pal from close to Endon (Stoke-on-Trent), so I have a tendency to watch the news about PM Johnson. I was very sad when I saw he had contracted the virus.

 

[oldman]

Maybe he can get a haircut while in the hospital. Or maybe he just needs a comb and some spray.

 

[Ruthanne]

He is now in ICU. May he recover.

 

[RadishRose]

I don't understand anything about British politics, but I've always been fond of Boris and forgave him his trespasses.

My hope is that he'll be alright.

 

[AnnieA]

The move to ICU is worrying. I hope he makes a turn for the better soon!

You guys in UK, keep us updated. Our primary source for info
is local and national. They reported it of course, but nothing
specific.

Boris moved to ICU

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care in hospital after his coronavirus symptoms "worsened", Downing Street has said.

 

[moviequeen1]

He was diagnosed 2 weeks ago.
His girlfriend who is 6 months pregnant also has the virus,she's in quartine at home at the moment
I wish them both get well wishes

 

[Buckeye]

Prayers for him, his girlfriend, and their unborn child

 

[Devi]

My best wishes that he and his girlfriend both recover -- that everyone is well.

 

[grahamg]

Hard to know exactly what the latest news about our prime minister's health might be, as perhaps understandably, there is some reticence being shown on behalf of the government, but he clearly remains very unwell, as he is still in the intensive care ward, when of course every instinct would make him want to be working again.

 

[peppermint]

God Willing...

 

[Devi]

Fingers crossed. High hopes for full recovery.

 

[grahamg]

Positive news that our prime minister has been moved out of the intensive care ward, though he remains in hospital, and will need some time in order to fully recuperate they say.

 

[WhatInThe]

Good news. Hope he's back to full health soon.

From what I heard he never had to go on a ventilator which is good as well.

 

[Lc jones]

So glad the Prime Minister is doing better.

 

[Buckeye]

Great news. Thanks for the update.

 

[grahamg]

Boris Johnson has been released from hospital and is staying at the prime ministers customary country retreat called Chequers.

He has posted a very articulate video thanking all the doctors and nurses who saved his life.

 

[Warrigal]

Now that he has recovered I hope he has had time to reflect on his foolishness in cheerfully shaking so many hands after being warned not to do this. It would be gracious of him to admit his mistake and urge others to stay safe and avoid physical contact outside the home.

I'd settle for a prime minister, his cabinet, and the whole government, aided by the opposition , making the best decisions possible going forward.

But did you notice that even though he knew he was infected when he was getting into and out of the car on the hospital trip, he wasn't wearing a mask? Well he's recovering but his father said it was touch and go there for a "minute".

Our PM is now on a steep leaning curve after a shaky start. Crisis is a great educator. For us too.
