British PM Boris Johnson Moved To ICU After COVID Symptoms Worsen

Not even Dickens could imagine that much change.

About 97-98% of his age group recover – all things equal.

I think you’re quoting the total virus recovery rate, not the ICUed subgroup.

You are right.

An election would be (only) an election by the Conservative party for a new leader.

This is the same pompous ass who boasted about shaking people’s hands at a Covid hospital. The same right wing nutjob who accepted Russian money in the campaign for Brexit. Who has come to power in spite of democracy. Who lied to the queen about the prorogation of parliament in order to stuff through the whole Brexit sham. The same fool who has spent almost every moment of his leadership lying straight to camera. A ā€˜journalist’ who spread anti-gay, anti-Muslim sentiment again and again.

Now the world is already reporting on his fine work, his incredible ethic, and dedication to the British people.

More farce, more lies, more Right Wing movement in the halls of power. A man so stupid he would advertise the fact that he was acting foolishly and against medical advice and is now paying the price.

Balls to you, Boris. Glad you got paid in full for your ignorance.

The NHS probably has actual standards, like we once did.

I can’t find a reliable number, but my impression is that the survival rates for people who go into the ICU, particularly if they need ventilation, are much worse. We also don’t know if BoJo has any underlying conditions that may impact his chances.

An epidemiologist interview by Joe Rogan(yeah I know several folks pointed out he’s an idiot and I saw that in a later interview) but the epidemiologist I think knew what he was talking about. Anyway he said smokers and overweight folks(outside of truely ill people) would be most likely to be seriously affected by the virus or complications after the virus weakened you. Because I’ve been wondering about Donald with his physical condition and seeming lack of staying away from people.

Probably somewhat better than in this country, where access to life-saving treatment (or even proper PPE for one’s caregivers) seems to be determined by loyalty to Dear Leader.

So who convinced Trump and BoJo and Nunes that Covid was just like flu and nations didn’t have to take precautions?

This report would suggest an almost 50% fatality rate in ā€œcritical careā€. And other reports I’ve seen suggest an over 50% mortality rate when ventilators are required.

Nor were we too cowed to say it out loud, despite the bull he’s put his country through.

I cant imagine that it would take more than 20 minutes to push the process through. They probably won’t even have to convene.

The usual toadies and lickspittles who tell the boss what he wants to hear. You know, Jared.

Robert Costa has reported that Jared has been conferring with big Republican donors about who gets what in terms of supplies to fight the virus.

Given Johnson’s inept and stupid initial handling of the Covid19 virus all I can say is this: Karma is a bitch. My sincere hope will go unsaid but should be obvious.

(looking behind dresser) Hmm. It’s not here.

(looking under couch) Hmmm. Not here either.

(pulling out pockets) Nope. Not here, nor here.

Where did I put that sympathy??
