Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

To do what, though? Further erode the trust that people have in them?

Try and ensure that he doesn't end up going into ICU? Let them prepare for a scenario that they or no one really wants.

Assuming you mean the big T, I fully agree he's a horrid bloke and I'm very concerned as to how he got in power.

However, in terms of who will have the balls to go after China when all is said and done... he might actually do some good. And it'll be up to the EU, Britain and the rest of the G8/20 nations to pile in too. Because it's needed.

Doesn't excuse how bad the reaction has been in the west, mind, especially UK and US.

Until a Chinese state owned company suddenly jumps into bed with a Trump related business.

No government on the planet would give you an honest up to date account of the health of their Leader. Ffs even the Vatican was quiet about the Pope. This has nothing to do with trust, everything to do with economic and defence security.....

Current statistics show that 2/3 of all patients who enter ICU with Covid-19 symptoms will be on ventilator within the first twenty-four hours.

Not about the security of the people who live in the UK? Economics and defence? The Leader? piss up in a brewery springs to mind.

I don't know what the NHS protocols are, but my mom has been in ICU numerous times due to her medical issues and not once was she on a ventilator.

She needed to be in ICU so the nursing staff could monitor her vital signs from the nursing stations 24/7.

Here's hoping Boris just needs to be monitored more closely than if he was in a regular hospital room. Praying for him!

He never looked the healthiest of people but was always jogging and riding his bike.

I truly wish I could understand what it is that you are trying to say....

He looked as though he was really suffering when he was standing on the steps of number 10 the other night......

Has a PM died whilst still in office ?

Spencer Percevel, assassinated in the House of Commons in 1812.

Spencer Percevel, assassinated in the House of Commons in 1812.

Plus, another seven if you include before the Act of the Union. Anyway, the news will change within a few hours to say he's on a ventilator.

Best wishes to Boris, really hope he makes a full recovery, really feel for his poor fiancé, she has symptoms of the virus, is heavily pregnant and now this. Hoping for the best for them.

Yes, pete - the Vatican was quiet about the Pope. They didn't come out with things that everyone recognized as false the moment they were uttered, and were demonstrated as false within a day.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I think that was mainly for show. It is the same as the messy hair thing, he has a persona that he wants the public to believe is the real him.

It was a bit painful to watch. I was hoping he'd stay in bed and rest.
