Trump taken to hospital

suziewoozie you clearly have a personal dislike of Boris Johnson which is your prerogative but please do not accuse our NHS staff of lying.

She isn’t. Read her posts and you will see!

I am assuming they have sent him to hospital while he is relatively ok so if he should get worse they won't have blue lights and drama rushing him in. Keeps things more discreet maybe.

I hope he is ok, he has to be having the best treatment surely. Coca-Cola and McDonald's will see him through. The time to worry will be if the tweeting stops.

Not one iota of sympathy for him from me. I guess that means (according to some posters) that I’m a horrible person. Oh well ?‍♀️

Boris Johnsonremained in hospital on Monday morning as a “precautionary step” following concerns over his “persistent” coronavirus symptoms.

Downing Street insisted that the UK prime minister remained in charge of the government, as ministers prepared for the country’s expected peak of the disease next weekend and intense pressure on the health system.

But Dominic Raab, foreign secretary, will chair the regular meeting of the government’s Covid-19 committee, the inner cabinet where key decisions relating to the virus are taken.

The prime minister spent the night in hospital and is having what have been described as “routine tests”.

A Downing Street spokeswoman said on Sunday: “This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus.”

Robert Jenrick, housing secretary, said the tests on Mr Johnson were under way, adding: “He will stay in hospital as long as needed, but I’ve heard he is doing well.”

Mr Jenrick told the BBC’s Today programme he expected Mr Johnson to return to Number 10 “shortly” but that the prime minister would follow medical advice on when he should return home.

The minister insisted Mr Johnson was not incapacitated: “He remains in charge of the government,” he said. “He will be updated regularly while he's in hospital.”

Yes indeed be did take work into hospital, but became very much worse and had to go into intensive care, no boxes in there, just a fight for life, unless.of course those Doctors and Nuses were lying?!!!!

suziewoozie So the doctors and nurses were in cahoots with the politicians to support the so called ‘lies’? Also if Boris was taken in initially as a pre-cautionary measure he probably would have taken his red boxes with him. Clearly he became much worse and was in intensive care (unless of course the staff were lying as you seem to suggest). I think you only had to look at Boris when he came out of hospital to see that he had been seriously ill and that this wasn’t a fabricated story from either the politicians or the hospital staff.

‘spokesperson confirmed his admission was a precautionary rather than emergency measure and added he "thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work".

They also urged the public to "continue to follow the government's advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives".

The prime minister travelled, without the need for an ambulance, to the hospital at 8pm on Sunday and is understood to still be leading the government response to the COVID-19 outbreak.‘

It wasn’t the staff who lied to us, it was the politicians. I’m referring to when BJ was admitted and comparing it to DT bring admitted. We were told it was precautionary and that he was working and had taken in his red boxes.

Well they are pumping enough chemicals into him from what I heard on the radio this morning so he’s either worse than he thought or the spokespeople say, or it’s a North Korea mock up
No idea which it is and wouldn’t care if it didn’t impact on the whole world
They appear to be more mature than some of us or less genuine oppsminty From a country that says ‘have a nice day’ to everyone when they really couldn’t care less what your day is like

suziewoozie could you also explain how the staff at the hospital lied to us re Boris Johnson? What evidence have you got that these amazing doctors and nurses lied. Again an absolutely appalling comment re our dedicated NHS staff.

All the money in the world won't help . He'll get excellent care but that's not a guarantee.

I've been impressed with American friends who loathe Trump and all he stands for. Their social media is usually filled with fierce criticism. As is their right.

Not now though. They are wishing him well. Along with the likes of Obama. Biden has withdrawn the negative adverts. They appear to be more mature than some of us. I'm sure the critics will be out in force once he's better.

There was an actor on Breakfast TV yesterday, talking to Kate Garroway. She was visibly shocked when this chap said he was jumping for joy at the news. She knows all about the horrors that Covid can inflict on people.

I am no fan of Trump and all he stands for but I find it rather sad when people , (not on here) are wishing him ill.

Are you accusing the hard working staff at St. Thomas’ hospital who have put their lives at risk throughout this pandemic of lying? Absolutely disgraceful comment. How low can someone sink to make such a statement about our dedicated NHS workers.

If he was an ordinary American citizen he wouldn’t be able to afford to go into hospital.

I’m cynical. It might improve the sympathy vote.

There is no particular treatment for Covid so being wealthy makes absolutely no difference to the progress of this virus. I am no fan of Trump, but certainly wish him well and a speedy recovery, as I would with anyone else.

Apparently been given two experimental anti- viral drugs in the form of a cocktail.

Melania probably encouraged Donald to go into hospital. She maybe felt she would rather isolate on her own!

This virus doesn't care how much money anyone has ! Or how well looked after you are with the best of everything.

He will be fine. He is a billionaire. He will have the best treatment on tap not available to millions of others. He will come out all super smug about being fit and in tremendous shape, and how America has the best healthcare in the world, and we shouldn’t worry about a bit of Chinese flu etc.

Presumably not such a mild case after all? Not really sure what to say without being a hypocrite. Just have to wish him well and hope he learns something from it.

Now I feel mean!

Not mean. Honest !

Johnson apparently walked unaided to the car that took him to hospital so they say - who knows? As if we are told the truth.

Looking at him walking to the helicopter, he doesn’t appear unwell.

Can’t stand him but wish him well.

On Newsnight they said that the facilities at the White House are nothing like they have in the hospital.

We can’t believe a word they say.
