On Boris Johnson’s condition, I am told the problem is that the symptoms are persistent and refusing to clear up. They are, I am informed, not getting worse

@ggreenwald – “The Guardian was told last week that [Boris] Johnson was more seriously ill than either he or his officials were prepared to admit, and that he was being seen by doctors who were concerned about his breathing.”
Godspeed but this is not good. I’ve got a very bad feeling about this. The “precautionary” spin is garbage.
Why is he failing to improve? … The NHS.
Get Boris to anAmerican Hospital and see some Doctors.
I trust they are feeding him cuinine and the other drugs.
Maybe a immuno suppressive drug to stop the immun system from filling the lungs with anti-viral stuff.
Let’s recap the sequence of events a little here. The Queen does her 5th television address she’s ever done outside of the Christmas message. Soon after, it’s announced the British PM is hospitalized with coronachan. It’s probably nothing.
What is the Conservative Party succession plan?
The Grauniad is not reputable.
The Queen knocks it out of the park.
I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all. I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times. I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones.
Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it. I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future. The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children.
Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort. And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation. It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.
While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal. We will succeed – and that success will belong to every one of us. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again. But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.
Honestly she’s THE elder statesman. Just impeccable in every way. I just can’t see Charles performing at that level, can you? Everytime I look at him I think of tampons.
With typical BoJo schoolboy enthuisiasm (no nsult in the UK) “But, of course, we will overcome this and make lots of oney”
?
Burp much?
Is he on the stretcher in the hall, like everyone else?
I hope that he is.
