I read the first thread.

 

Donnacha correctly stated that Boris would be delivered to the ICU and that his situation was more serious than we all thought. This, before it was confirmed in the news.

 

This was purely on analytical insight. It was pretty impressive.

Incorrect. The actual criteria for referral to ICU doesn't have anything to do with whether your life is in danger. In fact, you should be referred to ICU well before that.

Well it has something to do with it. As well as the judging the possibility of the patent recovering - speaking as someone who had to make the call about putting a person into ICU based on doctors advice.

 

Anyway, a sobering video.

This video is incorrect. She claims that when you're admitted to an ICU you've crashed and you're put on a ventilator. That is not true. You are brought to an ICU well before that so that your respiratory function as well as vital organs can be monitored and so that you can receive the care required in case your condition deteriorates. That CAN include a ventilator. I have previously posted stats here that shows the percentage of people admitted vs. patients put on a ventilator (or even admitted to an ICU).

I wish Boris no ill and hopes he makes a full recovery. However if his illness becomes drawn out and he is unable to resume his position as Prime Minister this does allow for the opportunity to finally get rid of Dominic Cummings.

 

I have never understood Boris’s blind loyalty to this odious individual and I suspect I am not the only person in the U.K., particularly in the government, who would also be pleased to see him gone.

 

In the meantime I extend my best wishes go to Boris, Carrie and there unborn child.

Would the hospital even disclose if Boris is on a ventilator?

 

Maybe they would keep that confidential.

Reading 2 posters going at each other like two 4 year olds, gets tiring.

this is quite serious - there are reports that the survival rate once someone requires assistance breathing is quite low, in fact there is even debate about use of ventilators - some senior medics are almost questioning their use 

 

get well soon Boris - most of the British people are routing for you - some with misguided sinister intent are not

I was saying that hours ago, and was the only one to stand down, while he kept raving.

Now, simply because another member had the temerity to kindly praise my analysis, he fires it up again. He has little credibility but, if I am being unilaterally slandered, I have every right to point out how unhinged that behavior is.

 

Christ on a bike - you're not being slandered, someone is daring to disagree with you. It happens, and no-one will think the less of you for that. However, if the two of you subject us to the petty, venal bickering that we have had sit through for the last few hours that will soon change, if it has not already, for the pair of you.

 

This thread is about the serious (possibly life threatening) illness of a senior UK politician, the prime minister. He also is a father, and a human being. Whether our interests are vicarious, partisan or concern, I doubt any of us wish to sit through any more of this willy waving!

 

Give it a break, please!

Confidential medical information is none of our business.Boris may not have taken this virus seriously but the virus is taking Boris seriously.I just like the way he wears his hair.
