[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

All the best to Boris. At the end of the day, he is just another human being, yep he will get better care than the ll average person, but the same fears and family love will exist for us all.

Och I'd hate to see Boris succumbing to the virus, and I certainly hope the GF is okay. That odious Cummings p***k though? Couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

Your a yank yeh, I didn't think their stupidity was contagious.

[Never beat the deeler]

The US said at the weekend that with mitigation they're looking at a best case of 100-240k deaths from the virus but it looks like they're not trending anywhere near that is it a possibility??

Obviously the less deaths the better but has Trump been lowering the bar so that he can pretend he's handled everything "tremendously like nobody's ever seen before"??

I don't know much about these things and I'm happy to be told I'm wrong as it happens a lot but it doesn't seem to add up.

The Worldometers site states that deaths are being under reported, in NY anyway:

An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee

The commission data also show that, since the start of the crisis, about 200 Britons have been repatriated thanks to flights organised by EU countries with support from the mechanism.  They include four UK citizens who made it home from Georgia on a flight organised by the Latvian government, and 85 brought back on an aircraft the Irish government arranged for people stranded in Peru.

Is it something like a 50% death rate for anyone in intensive care with this?  He's got many faults and yes his general ineptitude could have cost many deaths, but i hope he's going to be alright. Who knows, the experience might give him a new perspective on life and what's really important.

From those aged 55-69 who are admitted to ICU with covid, 46% do not survive.

Boris is at the lowest end of that age range, but it is still dodgy.

The worst signal will be if you hear he's on a ventilator - that brings it down closer to 20% recovery rate.  His weight will not help.

I heard he is on an ECMO, which is an advanced ventilator. Which is for people who are severely ill. It basically siphons out your blood, oxygenates it and then pumps it back it in. Dont know how true that is though.

He isn't very fit either

Should you really be relaying it then if your not sure how true or not it is?
