And given he's the PM... You'd think - and you know, I'm not meaning this to sound callous - that he'll probably be getting more attention than if one of us mere normals ends up in there (touch wood not like).

Just read the story and the government are still downplaying it every single step of the way.
Only moved to ICU as a precaution. That doesn't happen. Same as you don't go to hospital for tests as a precaution.
They really don't want to admit the truth here and God forbid it goes the wrong way, how can they downplay it anymore? To go from precaution over and over to serious, can't spin that in any other way.
Just be bloody honest for once.

Like most things in life, we get the media we deserve.
Well... just playing Devil's Advocate here. If the PM is ill, then you probably do overreact in terms of 'precautions'.
If he is in his own private ward, away from anyone else, it'll probably be to make sure he has everything else he needs in terms of emergency equipment if needed. The best of the best and all that. You'd think that's how these things work?
Not saying that's definitely the case here, like.
Don't like the guy, but I hope he pulls through. Wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Hope he can recover asap but this is quite scary stuff.
He needs to step back and focus only on getting the right treatment and resting.

What were the Russian media saying?
Whatever Putin told them to, I imagine.

He’s in intensive care not a comfortable side room with a few machines that go ping.
He’s there for a reason, he’s seriously ill.
They were claiming Boris' health was worsening yesterday and saying he was going to be put on a ventilator. This was yesterday when the British media were downplaying this all and claiming it a "precaution". Today afternoon, Downing street claimed these reports to be "fake news".
I imagine he'd be on his own just because of the extra security around a serving PM. He must be in a bad way though if they can't sort him out with the best of the best behind closed doors at Downing St.
Data from Italy where the ICUs were overwhelmed so you would expect worse care than Boris will get.
