Absolutely correct.
I dont get why people must tell your their political affiliation on here or on twitter, before they say whether they want him to survive or not...
Is this wannabe hunk in charge of the UK right now?
What a dreamboat
What sort of outfit is that though.
Because you spouted a load of crap.
You said:
I'm not gonna sit here send him my best wishes.
The man was happy to let thousands die to achieve herd immunity so it's quite ironic if he's one of them.

The first sentence (yes I picked the second clause) makes you a wanker, the second shows your ignorance of the situation. Crack on.
Pretty much yes. And many countries wouldn't even let anyone know that the PM is in trouble.
Johnson has had severe pneumonia in the past, and I think he had a heart issue too.
Neither of which bode well for him now.
Neither of which bode well for him now.
I think it's a defence mechanism, in that knowing how social media works, if you even hint at support for someone, like saying you hope Prince Charles recovers, you'll get a bunch of moronic anti royals starting ranting about why has he had "special" treatment etc... so for the use of a quick "I'm no royalist" it wards off the more hard of thinking.
Look, if you don't have anything nice to say about Boris as he lays in intensive care with his pregnant wife in bits then maybe don't say anything at all, yeah?
I wasn't referring to this pandemic.
To answer the question though I'm already on record as saying they should've brought in strict lockdown measures sooner than they did, so that, for starters. I wouldn't have even entertained the idea of herd immunity and sacrificing so many vulnerable older people. And on a personal level I wouldn't have been giving it the big un about how many hands I've continued to shake in defiance of common sense.
I think it was tested in Japan initially. It's being tested by a number of US hospitals, including the one I'm closest to (Duke University).

If you don’t want to end up arguing all night, stop posting knob head posts.
A period of our polarizing political ideologies creating an environment were all the worst elements of humanity must be ascribed to the side you disagree with. A loss of nuance and reasoned discussion.
There's definitely a fair few who have outed themselves on here that could be done with being picked off, and removed.
Stupid cow needs to feck off. If anyone needs to be in hospital dying of this god awful virus disease it should be these absolute ignorant cnuts
It is a bit weird to be honest. Disagree with your stance on taxes, but hope you'll pull through mate.
Lots of people won't get the chance to recover because of his and his government's actions, which were obviously out of step with everyone else in the world at the time (except Donald Trump).
I don't wish him ill, but when his policy decisions are impacting the lives of millions in the UK, it's perfectly reasonable to point that out.

How the feck do you expect lockdown to end in the West without a vaccine unless herd immunity kicks in. No I should have added into the options doing what Asia seems to have done and introduces a level of surveillance and adherence that all western populations would be up in arms about.
I’d rather it be neither. Jeez man what’s wrong with you?
Hope he recovers. The guy has kids & a pregnant wife.
Awful. Hopefully this really is just precautionary and doesn't need to be a prolonged stay.
I don't understand why anyone should feel obligated to give him their best wishes. I don't want him to die or anything. However my best wishes and concern are reserved for everyone else who's fighting for their lives right now, but wasn't in a privileged enough position to do anything about this whole thing.
I'm working 60 hours per week in a public health, vigilance and medical support unit that coordinates Covid-19 in an Autonomous region of 240.000 people. I do not think I have an history of being arrogant in redcafe and I have been here for more than 10 years.
I am becoming arrogant now and feel entitled to it. Your questions are no longer worthy enough to be answered. They are mere repetition. I answered that exact question you just asked me last week or so.
I can’t believe there isn’t more anger at the actual UK experts and the original model.
Should the UK just sack off all of it’s expert advisors and teams and just rely on what everyone else is doing? I guess that’s what everyone wants.
His bluster is part of his charm unfortunately. A hard to dislike guy even when he's totally against what you personally believe.
The big problem is that this is a once in a lifetime world emergency. There is no handbook for how to handle things. Which is why so many countries have struggled and seen numbers balloon into the sunset. And plenty of world leaders have started from a position of totally denying and playing the whole thing down.
If the Czech figures are correct, they apparently have had only about 60 deaths in total. But have been in actual total lockdown for a month - no exercise etc.
Will the figures go up when lockdown is removed? Or have they handled it perfectly? Time will only judge in the future
I'm genuinely stunned at some of the stuff people are posting.
You’d think that’d be common sense really, but no.
Fair enough, but he wasn't 'happy for people to die'.
Boris has tried to keep going when he was clearly a sick man who needed to rest. You have to admire him for that, he's done his best to step up to the plate at a time of national crisis.
We haven't seen the worse of it yet so I can't the lockdown being lifted anytime soon.
Assuming the numbers fall throughout April I think we may start opening up things in phases but we need to see a proper dip in cases.
The science changed within 5 days...
In reality they realised what they were doing in the first place was bullshit and went back on it. They talked about introducing social distancing in the future if it was required but wasn't something they were currently looking at. 5 days later, social distancing came in. They completely botched and any denial of that is also bullshit.
True. Fair to say that it’s hard to estimate his chance of survival but he’s in a spot.
He‘s in intensive care. Shits baaad.
What a dreamboat
What sort of outfit is that though.
Oxford and Cambridge have an amateur boxing tradition and he boxed for Oxford.
phwoar!
Is this wannabe hunk in charge of the UK right now?
Me too mate , there are some horrible twats in this country.
It's all very easy to be Captain hindsight about things isn't it.
Much different to be the guy in charge in such a difficult job.
But either way, simple human compassion should make your first reaction, "damn, this is not good at all", rather than a snide "well, he did xxx and didn't do yyy"
Curve started to flat here in Portugal, 4,5% increase in cases today, lockdown measures starting to show results
Well said mate.
It is though in Denmark (although they aren’t locked down, they can still freely go out).
From 1st May they will slowly start opening up again which is surely the correct thing to do as this virus needs to move through society.
Although I’m not sure @Arruda won’t be here slating me again for this so maybe I’m chatting shit again and Denmark are wrong for planning to do what I’ve said countries will need to for a couple of weeks now.
Even for Iain Duncan Smith, his statement is fecking weird.
