Jesus!
Has this ever happened before with a prime minster ?

Jesus that happened quickly! Unless the tweets earlier were just pr
Hope he pulls through.
Shit, hope Boris pulls through.
Hopefully he recovers soon.
I can't watch 12 minutes of that. Some people are beyond help.
Also why aren't the police wearing any kind of protective equipment?
Blimey, what’s the recovery rate of intensive care patients?
Edit - 50% apparently

He’s in higher risk categories too.
Wow this is huge
Hope he will be ok.
Feck
Don't think so. This all feels like we're part of a shite sci-fi film now.
Christ.
s***.
Thought the panic was over when he was tweeting today (if it really was him) but this dosen't sound good at all given how the virus works.

Bloody hell. Get well soon boris.
Does that 50% still stand if he's not on a ventilator?
Wow... Unbelievable. It feels like we're living in a movie.
I feel like his condition is worse than what we're being told.
Yesterday it was a precaution, now it's in case he needs it.

If he dies I guess Raab will be Prime Minister for at least 6 months before a leadership election can take place.
God. This is just awful news.
How old is he ?
Churchill had a stroke in ‘53 that doctors and those close kept secret. Can’t think of any other examples.
Jesus. Hope he pulls through.
Thought that's how this virus works. Shit goes down quickly after a long incubation period.
Hopefully totally precautionary. If he's giving out orders (re Raab taking over) then surely he can't be that bad.
I did find it odd how they took him in last night. Something must've been mot right.
Isn’t much available. And the ones we have are shit. I went to a house the other day with one on and after about two minutes I was struggling for air so took it off.
Come on Boris, you can do it.
He looked like shit in one of the videos he did. But the one he did most recently, he looked much better in.
I think it ties in with what some people have described. They initially get a bit better before it gets serious.
Didnt believe the precautionary stuff and was expecting this. 10-14 days still with symptoms seems to be the general rule for ICU admissions, hes obviously be admitted at the low end to give him the best chance of recovery
What sad, sad news. Whatever side of the political spectrum you sit. All the best fella.
Last who died while serving was in 1860s I think.
I read once you’re intubated the mortality rate jumps to 80%.
I mean if you read a 55 year old had died it wouldn’t have even made the news but it being Boris Johnson in intensive care somehow makes it a bit scarier. I guess it shows no money can save you from this if it’s bad enough
