Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

You're missing the point; I don't know what CFY means? You replied with CFY to my post.

Also, I appreciate you pointing out my trivial grammatical error.

oops sorry corrected for you

but wasn't really grammatical error was correcting you correcting the original poster because correcting original poster wasn't really correcting them at all :)
 
Surprised they are having Cobra meetings. They all look cheek by jowl in those cabinet meetings.

They all get together on Zoom or whatever now.

blood loss, followed by heart stopping.

blood loss followed by brain death? I have no clue about the medical order of these things but wouldn't the conscious bit be the deciding factor in this? Does shock play a role? Why am I carrying this on after I read the last lot of posts about this? Am I, at heart, a masochist? Or, worse, an enabler?
 
He is most certainly going to be treated at an NHS hospital, private hospitals typically can't handle critical/rapidly deteriorating patients.

Quite so. Not bothering with critical care facilities or a full set of specialists is how they're able to outbid NHS hopsitals for minor operations etc. If something goes sideways when you're getting your hernia done or whatever they ship you straight off to the nearest NHS hospital tout de suite.

And in any case, all the private hospitals are effectively NHS hospitals at present. A bunch of piecemeal services run by carpetbaggers and spivs being no use in a crisis, as it turns out.

I see Sunak goes by 'Chancellor of the Exchequer' rather than his name. Saves changing the account over when he gets switched out for the next patsy in line I suppose.

Also AFAIK Zoom is not a secure platform, you'd really hope the government had something slightly better to work with.

There's a very interesting read about decapitation and for how long the brain or physche or consciousness continues from a Frenchy in the 19th century. The French used the guillotine as their method of execution and he would assess the severed heads immediately after decapitation.
