Am at a loss to know why some folks cannot wish our PM well without having to qualify their thoughts by saying stuff like "Not a lover of the PM but......." and so on. If you can't just wish him well without the qualifications just S T F U !!!!!

Why does Laura Kuensberg have to go just one step further every time? Now she has mentioned that he is 'conscious' - she cannot know that and is only making insinuations to make it sound like she is party to something the rest of us are not.

His doctors would have given a statement to the media. That's how Laura knows he's conscious.

[naomi24]

^I should have added 'via Downing Street'.

[lankeela]

She got a statement from Matt Hancock and he didn't use that word. Most people would assume he was conscious it was the way she said it as though she had inside information.

[Ellipsis]

No, I would not assume he was conscious if he was in intensive care with Covid-19.

Boris will pull thru - he aint gonna drop off the pedestal he worked hard to climb......I feel it in my bones. Go Boris!

[naomi24]

I hope you're right tamborine. I really, really do.

[retrocop]

Yes. Me also. He's a fighter

[Ellipsis]

I do hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery. Already, it seems likely that we're either going to be living in an age where the PM died of Covid-19 while in office, or we're going to be living in an age where the PM went into intensive care with Covid-19 and then recovered and ultimately resumed his role. Either outcome will be a very big deal, and the latter would endear him to millions.

[Apc2604]

Very true Ellipsis. I think the majority are hoping or praying for the latter. I'm still finding this whole scenario unbelievable.

regarding the 50:50 chance of survival in intensive care, they've just done a study in Italy that suggests the survival rate is much higher: ICU mortality of 26%.

He was apparently well below the threshold for oxygen when admitted.
I’m not complaining, just saying
