Some utter cunts in here need to start apologising

I have never heard the Conservatives apologise for the state of british hospitals. For instance just 2 years ago my dad's final few hours were spent in a corridor, so I have a right to criticise Boris and conservatives laisse-faire attitude to this crisis and the NHS generally over last decade. No-one wants Boris to pass away but this situation is a leveller for us all. Most rational left leaning people want the extreme right wing finance driven toffs (eg. JRM) to show more compassion for the working classes. Maybe this is a wake-up call and we all need to realise we are in this together and for a successful country we need to work together better and support each other when we get through this.

Johnson in intensive care is mental, hope it’s just precautionary. Still can’t help but feel it’d be a last resort if they could avoid it. Here’s hoping he recovers quickly if for no other reason than Raab is in charge until then.

Yeah, I saw that idiot Peston saying it was only precautionary, being in hospital is the precaution, intensive care is what it is.

Don’t think you go into intensive care as a precaution, sadly.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Doing the best he can in the hardest role anybody could imagine right now, get well soon our great PM! We’re all praying you recover!

Praying? Didn't have you down as the religious type. Turn it in mate.

Even virtue signalling nobs are less than truthful

Just watched the BBC video from an ICU.

That hit me harder more than I thought it would.

It was the most surreal, horrible bit of live tv I’ve seen. Followed by the US version of it. The amount of professional people in intensive care was mind blowing and the dedication of everyone also.

Always best to ask politely.

Kuenssberg also reporting it is precautionary.

And he has been moved to intensive care as a precaution in case he needs ventilation to get through this illness.

Get well soom boris

Get well soon everyone!

 

[Flying Fokker]

Unfortunately, I'm me. Same in both worlds.

then there was the doctor on the One Show tonight. He said things were possibly being done as a precaution as well.

Ever wonder if everyone on this forum would get on better or worse in person?

I'd share a pint with anyone on here no matter how stupid they come across. We're all City fans.

They are not nice places at all, the staff are unbelievable, must have incredible mental strength or just become numb to it.

I'd rather have my own pint than share you tight fucker

also read, that if you go to ventilation, then your chances are very low

I didn't want to use "Enjoy"

ICU is what it says - intensive care. Not somewhere you tend to go as a precaution, and esp given the pressure on ICU's at the moment. Being PM I imagine he will be getting exceptionally good treatment but they wouldn't put him in an ICU bed unless it was necessary I don't think.

I was sceptical about whether he was using it to avoid scrutiny but I admit it looks like I was wrong.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Kuenssberg also reporting it is precautionary.

I don't buy it, you're talking about the most heavily impacted place in the country and they've got spare capacity in the ICU just in case somebody needs a ventilator, doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, hopefully he pulls through. I don't believe him to be a sociopath Tory like IDS, Raab, Patel et al.

I heard 50/50, but I may be wrong.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

There is too much info to really know, it looks like about 50:50 if you are unfortunate enough to go onto a ventilator but his age is in his favour so hopefully he’ll be ok.

The pub is the one thing I probably miss the most. Pub before a match in fact.

 

[hill83]

I heard 50/50, but I may be wrong.

Is that not considered low?

 

[Flying Fokker]

I heard 50/50, but I may be wrong.

On a sample. Ref ventilators. Probably where the figures are from.

2249 admitted to ICU
346 Died. Approx 15%
344 Discharged. Approx 15%. ( my guess is they went back to the ward.).
1559 reported as still in Critical care. 70 % not on ventilators.

 

[David O'Day]

That study was on a tiny amount of data though

 

[David O'Day]

The figures are from a 165 person sample

I don’t understand a lot of this but I think this is the hospital he’s in, and they are getting ‘good outcomes’ from their ICU process which is what Boris will be going through now

 

[David O'Day]

Trump was spectacularly unhinged today, claims he's personally speaking to the doctors treating boris

His twitter account is one of the most disturbing yet entertaining accounts of all

Always says they were related.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's sent two great companies over, but they don't like to talk about it

 

[Flying Fokker]

So we agree. Sort of? The figures I show are from a sample of 2249. Approx 15%/15/%70%

 

[fernandopartridge]

I understand bits of it from recent experience, they're looking at blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels basically

He's in one of the six ECMO centres in England as well (probably just a coincidence of location rather than necessarily a clinical need), that's where a machine takes over the function of the lung all together.

This is interesting, you get a lot of frothing about the government at national level turning away from Europe which may be true for the sake of playing silly political games, but this is a tweet from a consultant at Guys and St Thomas'
