Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

Very telling that was. Not even sure if he apologised.

Quite plausible. Although I guess pneumonia is a spectrum too, and I recall that some studies showed that even a bunch of people with Covid-19 who didnt really show any symptoms showed some lung issues when scanned.

Anyway its clear that we will be treated to the usual lack of info about these matters. I think they've stopped describing him as just having mild symptoms, but instead we got the lines about routine tests, and how he is 'in good spirits'.

If I were forced to guess then I'd probably go for oxygen at this stage, rather than full on ventilation. But unless someone leaks to the press, I dont have high hopes about how timely any info the public are given will be. I'm still waiting for the press to speculate about what experimental treatments he might get, I have already suggested the blood of recovered victims (an old medical classic that has found fresh purpose in this pandemic).

Antiserum, antivirals, basically anything and everything short of witchcraft (and probably that too). Tommy's also has a lot of ECMO machines for if it gets really bad, and their ICU reports on Twitter that they're getting better survival rates than the cited 50%. He's in about the best place he could be in Britain to maximize his chances of pulling through. Responses to that will of course ... vary.

Boris tests positive for corvid 19 should perhaps be one of those post-empire novels of daring do, a descendant of biggles bests the red baron etc

I’m willing to come out of the closet on this, I don’t want him to die. But people can take the piss all day long.

Same here. I take Edie's point because I don't like the idea of anyone dying from this virus. But yes, if people want to joke about him, I feel he's fair game.[/QUOTE]

There was this recently - Exclusive: elderly C19 patients being sent back to nursing homes with a day’s supply of masks – or none

Apart from the two already posted there are others...This one as well... ...No inquest, no post mortem, not tested at the hospital as was never an inpatient.


'No inquest'
Reading Council, in a statement on behalf of the Berkshire coroner's office, said: "This was a very sad case and our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Chloe.

"Chloe died at Wexham Park Hospital on the 19 March 2020. The case was reported to the Berkshire coroner's office.

"Her death was very sad but as she had a natural cause of death, involvement by the coroner was not required and the hospital issued a death certificate, recording her cause of death as Covid-19.

"There was no post-mortem examination or inquest. We must now respect the privacy of her family and cannot provide any further information."

The hospital declined to comment but an NHS source told the BBC Ms Middleton was not tested at the hospital because she was never admitted as an inpatient.

Death of woman, 21, recorded as 'Covid-19'

Chloe Middleton, 21, died due to coronavirus, according to hospital records.

At the moment it seems more like I've been cheating by reading the wrong pages out of a 'choose your own adventure' book. The hero has already been dead in a ditch, lurking in a giant freezer, and accused of putting Brexit before breathing. And page 57 is already looking worn due to the number of times the duties of empire were swapped for spilling wine on the upholstery.

Maybe hes riding out as the queen's champion to engage the virus as her champion? If he loses he can go double or quits - but lose that and we have to go back in the EU.

Wonder if Trump sends him some chloroquine?

I think Brenda's more likely to side with the virus.

This is one of the neutral posts in between the troll posts. It's a well-worn strategy - space it out - tread the line carefully.

Sad news, hope he pulls through.

It also makes the past 24 hours of absolute fibs from No.10 seem even more idiotic than it was last night.

 

[bellaozzydog]

I wonder if he was asked to sign a DNR

 

[Marty1]

Dark times.

 

[B.I.G]

Fingers crossed
