I'm sure he will, best care, none of this go home to self-quarantine and if it doesn't get better call your GP for an appointment in 3 weeks.
Fwiw a leader in hospital does tend to have a unifying effect on the country, so they should keep him there with (hopefully false) worsening reports; maybe they could prop him up, puff out his cheeks with a thermometer sticking out of his gob for a SotU address.
He should be proud the people care; wasn't much fuss when they packed off our future sovereign.
I think it’s a fair question that will remain unanswered. Thatcher and Blair led the country in wartime. Johnson leads the country now. Like it or not, he will be held responsible for two momentous issues during his time as leader. Just as history judged them, he will be judged on two very important issues threatening the country.
You refuse to judge him, yet condemn his government response to the virus? An interesting position.
The virus response will be driven by resource availability. I recall saying this when the first cases were revealed in UK. At least decisions were made based on science, resources and local conditions. Every government has a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Adapting to developments with strong decisive leadership might affect the spread, but with an unknown enemy, the chances of success are still resource and location limited. That 50/50 chance doesn’t change much.
I disagree. The NHS is probably the best resource available to the government. In order to protect that resource, measures were phased in the initial period, and public restrictions are even now, fairly limited. Again, the aim is to prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed.
On the face of it, this approach seems quite sensible, although it does indicate that the service was not prepared for a response on this scale.
The response and any success or failure could equally apply to both events. The country has had a much longer look at the possibilities for future Brexit, so I could understand criticism of that future, but the coved 19 issue is still in the early stages in Ukraine. I will stick by my 50/50 chances on the virus response. Any other view you make is far too early to be correct.
Boris (and Trump) are caught in the headlights with the Covid outbreak. Neither wanting to sabotage their countries' economy and destroy the livelihoods of their citizens, but increasingly dependent on "advisers" and 'computer models' supplied by UK's Imperial College. Neither of which are being scrutinized by the media.
Special report: The simulations driving the world’s response to COVID-19
Well they aren't alone or do you support the case that they are the worse two. I think the UKs response was muddled at the start but driven by advice from so called experts - i have no idea what model/advice the US was/is following but it isn't the same.
Regards Imperial College, which model would you prefer? Seems your agenda is directing your examination of this imo.
all the "first" world economies were teetering on the brink of insolvency and this disease outbreak was one of many things that could have started the fall
the constant trying to protect them is wallpapering over the holes in the sides of the ship - the whole sh1tshow needs to be changed

I'm probably not the only one that clicked on this thinking that he carked it.
Just a tester really, a mild one to see how we cope.

very chinese Art of War stuff
Well this news from the Beeb is going to piss off Sausages and the Ex-leader of the RMT Union who were hoping for a more final result.
UK PM Boris Johnson leaves hospital after being treated for coronavirus, but will not immediately return to work
Tactically, and strategically, it would have been better if The Clown had expired. It would then have finally hit home that the government had fucked up badly in failing to respond earlier and by his death illustrated graphically that no-one is impervious leading others to take the epidemic more seriously.
For we Remainers it would have been a case of killing two birds with one stone and a moment to relish at leisure - the architect of the Brexit disaster carks it, killED by an epidemic he helped to create.
Ah well.
You fucking idiot, over the past decade the Tories have systematically deprived the NHS of the funding it needed to maintain service levels achieved by Labour up to 2008, and on at last two subsequent key strategic reviews refused to resource hospital trusts with enhanced ICU provision they so badly needed, ventilators and the personal protection wear for their staff. Even at a fundamental level, successive wretched Tory governments have attacked the NHS by withdrawing bursaries for nursing education as long ago as fucking 2011/12.
Against that background of criminal dereliction the government, despite dire warnings from Italy and the WHO, did fuck all until March 21, three weeks after the dead were stacked like cordwood in Lombardy, and two weeks after the whole of Denmark shut itself down.
Ten thousand dead....." this approach seems sensible "!!!???
The arrant stupidity manifested by the senile on this forum is truly quite depressing.
The NHS has been undermined by civil service reclalctrance, not by governments. Insisting on excess layers of administrators starves the hospitals of front line staff and any reasonable budget for medical equipment.
On your own head be it.
Stop trying to be clever and blame politicians. Any idiot can do that. Dig a little deeper and you will find those responsible for lack of funding, ensconced among the vulgar paper pushers in the CS.
