If he survives, I’m sure he’ll be determined more than ever to get rid of immigrant doctors and shut down more hospitals.

It’s a learning disease, you understand.

He’s not on a ventilator. They’re probably working like crazy to keep him off of one. Sedation. Oxygen. Flipping him around to keep fluid from settling in any part of his lungs.

They are definitely not giving him hydrochloroquine and z-pack.

“Continues to improve”

This is good news. This will give the PM a much greater understanding of how the coronavirus affects people, and the critical role the NHS is serving. He will have learned to do better.

It’s good to know he’s improving. Maybe he is taking this opportunity to learn best practices in hair grooming.

Funny, that. My better half (who puts her hair in a ponytail and takes a shears to it herself)-- gave me my first trim last night. Not too shabby either.

We bought a $20 electric barbers clippers a few weeks ago. With last night’s ‘success’ (and weeks to go before I go back to my office)-- she’s going to give it a whack. :barber:

I doubt it. His health may improve, but the person is unlikely to get any better.

I am afraid it will go the other way. We will all start looking like Boris Johnson if the barber stores are staying closed for a few more weeks.

I am definitely noticing a clear deterioration in hair styles on my daily Zoom meetings. And that doesn’t even include the people who switch off their camera - they probably have a good reason.
