Boris Johnson admitted to hospital

..a lot of people are dying after getting it while in hospital.not saying everyone is

Do we have any evidence of numbers for that?
And I seem to remember that when everyone else was preparing for lockdown, you were exercising your right to go to a child's birthday party....

Whitewave I agree, I suspect that Boris Johnson is much more ill than we are being told. As you said earlier, it would be disastrous to lose a PM at the moment.
I wouldn’t wish this terrible illness on anyone. I wasn’t a fan of Jeremy Corbyn, much prefer Kier Starmer, but I wouldn’t wish Coronavirus on JC just because I wasn’t a fan. Stay safe everyone.

MAYBE NOW HE WILL SEE that the NHS is poorly equipped ..a lot of people are dying after getting it while in hospital.not saying everyone is .but his lockdown is partly working ,but not everyone is doing lock down .thinking i'm young and fit .

I do think that the spin surrounding Johnson is at best unfortunate.

If he is well enough to be working on his boxes, then he isn’t ill enough to be inhospitable and bed. Blocking.

If in fact (as I suspect) he is too ill then they are lying.

They need to get a grip

I have a deep suspicion that there is a certain unpleasant poster, lover of vitriol and spitefullness, who changes her name from time to time and launches herself onto Gransnet for an interlude of sniping and confrontation. Sated with aggravating others she then slides back in to her lair and starts boiling in her own bile again. The style of posting is beginning to show a pattern - anyone else noticed this over the past year or so?

I hope that Boris will pull through this and that no harm has come to Carrie or their baby.

Here’s hoping that “what goes around comes around” doesn’t prove true for the ill-wishing armchair critics.

Yes,I read that too, so hopefully it's true and that she and baby are ok.

I read that his pregnant girlfriend has had the virus and recovered

I am amongst many who would prefer that Johnson was not the PM, but imo it would be disastrous to loose a PM at this stage of a massive crises.

I looked at this thread yesterday and added a comment, just come back to it now, but jumped to the last page. I don’t know what’s been going on but I’m glad I haven’t seen it. We all have enough to cope with without whatever was being said. I wish Boris well, as I said last night. Today it was reported he is being given oxygen so he is obviously very poorly. I really do hope he recovers soon, I’m afraid to think anything else. He has a new baby on the way, the country needs leadership, and Carrie needs him. His family must be extremely worried, as are all the families who have a loved one in hospital.

Unconscious?

How many posts has sooziewoozie had deleted on this thread now ?

In response to an earlier comment I would think medical staff would treat Boris in the same way they would any other patient regardless of his record on their pay structure.

And they thought this was going to bring about a kinder, more cohesive population having All experienced this awful pandemic.

This proves business as usual.

BTW why do news presenters say he ‘has a temperature’?

Probably because it's a perfectly acceptable expression which, as any dictionary will tell you, means that someone's temperature is higher than normal.

growstuff or maybe they're people who have been lurking until now, or have been posting on threads you have no interest in.

Let’s hope we are being told the truth, that it’s just for tests. He certainly looked unwell. BTW why do news presenters say he ‘has a temperature’? We’ve all got a temperature - he has a high temperature.
Get well soon, Boris. We need you.

Indeed! And there a lot of teenagers around with time on their hands. (Just saying.)

Isolating appears to affect GN members in different ways, fortunately it brings out the best in the majority.

I wish our PM a speedy recovery, and I do hope that Carrie Symonds is feeling better with no adverse affect on her pregnancy or unborn child.

I agree Romola. The voice of common sense.

Lot of new posters on here today! (Just musing )

I hope BJ has a good long convalescence to think about his record of indecision at the start of this pandemic. And I also hope that he realises that the Brexit transition period must be extended as leaders of all the EU nations struggle with the pandemic.

Suzie anyone will tell you I do not take cheap shots at people but I am astonished at your tone and unpleasantness.

Boris being ill and taken to hospital does rather negate all the comments about him not knowing or experiencing what 'ordinary' people are going through.

Be thankful for what you have and don't disparage others.
So easy to criticise.
