To match Special Report HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS/BRITAIN-PATH Frank Augstein/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has moved out of intensive care as he continues to recover from COVID-19, a spokesman said on Thursday. “The Prime Minister has been moved this evening from intensive care back to the ward, where he will receive close monitoring during the early phase of his recovery,” the spokesman said. “He is in extremely good spirits.” Johnson, 55, was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital on Sunday evening with a persistent high temperature and cough, and was rushed to intensive care on Monday where he has since spent three nights receiving treatment.

John Doe won't get the same . incorrect, please check your facts he was treated at st thomas hospital, the nearest hospital to his residence in downing street and an nhs hospital. he received exactly the same medical excellence and professionalism as any patient would. he would have had relevant security in place, that would have been the only difference. the nhs does not discriminate between patients dependent on their background, ALL patients receive the best possible care. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind I cannot stand, do not trust and have nothing positive to say about this man.

In the last video of him, clapping for the NHS on his doorstep, he looked absolutely hellish, then his own selfie a few days later he looked no better. I don't doubt for a second that he was in a bad way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not my words, but difficult to disagree with the sentiments: "Boris Johnson. A man who has lived his entire life recklessly, selfishly, irresponsibly; without any regard for the consequences. Because he's never needed to. His enormous privilege has protected him from any repercussions. He is a proven pathological liar, swaggering through the years with no empathy or concern for anyone but himself. Indeed, recently bragging about shaking hands with Corona virus patients. As if it was just another laugh; a jape; just another moment in a life less honourable. There is a grim irony to him finally, in this manner, being confronted by the consequences of his behaviour. Even he can't lie & bluster his way out of this mess. One can only hope that the Prime Minister, as he languishes in intensive care, courtesy of the NHS that he and his party have done so much to destroy, deeply regrets the cheering & jeering doled out to nurses by he and his colleagues; when they voted down a payrise for those heroes. If he's lucky he'll now be finding out exactly how valuable these people are. My brother, sadly, wasn't lucky. Jas, 54, died of Covid-19 in Nottingham's Queens Medical Centre a week last Saturday night. Unlike the Prime Minister there was no ventilator for Jas. 'Operation: Last Gasp', right, Prime Minister? I then stood on an empty street, shouting to be heard over the wind, no privacy, no dignity, to tell an old man on a doorstep his child had died. The most indescribably awful duty I've ever had to carry out. There will, of course, be those idiots, those hypocrites, those bootlickers, who will condemn me for 'politicising' both my own loss & Boris Johnson's condition. They can't grasp that politicians making political decisions and political choices impact people's lives. And sometimes end them. As Jas found out. Do I wish Johnson dead? No. Do I wish dead the selfish, the greedy and the stupid who voted for him and still, even now, support him? Those who were perfectly happy to ignore the systematic destruction of the NHS while they were all right Jack? Again, no. My sympathy, however, remains with the terrified & heartbroken victims of this crisis. The appalling & callous mishandling of which is unavoidably the responsibility of Boris Johnson. It would be nice to think that lessons will be learned; that, individually and collectively, we will discover our self-respect and understand that governments only ever treat us the way we allow; that, when this is over, an enormous reorganisation of the nation’s priorities will be undertaken, by both the politicians and the electorate; that, at last, people will concern themselves with the value of others and much less with the cost of things. If Boris Johnson, in any way, might be that catalyst then he will have done at least one noble thing in his life. My breath, however, remains unheld.
