Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[Phil71]

Boris in to intensive care.

Not good.

[Rockape]

Not good at all....they keep saying it’s precautionary, but we’ve seen young people dying, so very worrying!

[Ach]

Who's deputy PM?

[Jedi]

He doesn't have any underlying health problems, right?

Surely he will pull through...

[dc16]

Hopefully they don’t have to intubate and he just needs increased levels of oxygen via a mask.

That’s not good though.

[gooney]

Honestly I feel once most people go to hospital, things only get worse. this is why I would stay away from hospitals even if i have bad cough

[Phil71]

If this doesn't make these selfish fools stay indoors nothing will.

[Royal Gooner]

Who's deputy PM?

Raab . I'd have thought it was the Chancellor but without a deputy PM, there isn't really a clear line of succession because technically the Queen could appoint anyone to replace Boris if it came to that.

Just watching the BBC news coverage from the ICU at Kings in London.....incredible scenes.

Makes me feckin angry at the Chinese for unleashing this thing!

[UFGN]

Raab is in charge because he has the honorific title of First Secretary of State, given to him by Johnson. He Is the de facto Deputy Prime Minister.

Yep. They covered it up for months. Arrested and threatened any medical people who tried to talk about it.

What other countries would have done:

I think most wouldn't arrest doctors who dared to mention that an epidemic might be going on.
