I hope not, but i'm getting the feeling you might be right.
I'm hoping that in a few days we get the news that he's recovering/recovered and is out of ICU though.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
I'm hoping that in a few days we get the news that he's recovering/recovered and is out of ICU though.
I have to admit, I've tried to remain positive and jovial but this news is bringing some repressed emotions out. I'm no Boris fan but I certainly don't think he's a bad guy at heart. Hope he makes it for the country's sake.
Any medical theories on the male/female split? Appears to be a consistent trend of male numbers being higher.
I should be fine then, this whole situation has been turning me back in to an alcoholic
Maybe, i just don't know though. It seems very odd how they'd put someone there for monitoring, especially if they have a big influx of patients, which can happen at any time.
As i say though, you quite possibly could be very right. It's a grim situation no matter how you look at it
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm fully prepared to believe that his condition has been significantly worse throughout this than we've been led to believe. I just don't think that it would be a scandal for him to have been moved to an ICU bed if there is a surplus and the potential that he might need one.
And at the end of the day, he is the Prime Minister at a time of national trouble. I would think it fairly odd if he wasn't getting special treatment.

I bought two month's worth of ale 6 weeks ago. That's gone well. And gone a long time ago.
Higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and heart conditions in men I’d guess. Men have always been generally more unhealthy than women too.
I don't think you fully understand the point here. The consequences of the solution they wanted to opt for was easy to see from day one given the development in other countries, and it was piss easy to point out the obvious mistakes as well...And the poster you're quoting has been consistently wrong on the subject of covid-19
Women have better immune systems too
It would shock me more if he didn't get special treatment and the best possible care. Still, i'd like to believe that anyone in his situation would get the same treatment. Still, everyone with Covid-19 is in the best hands with some of the most dedicated staff you can get.
It also wouldn't shock me if his condition is severe and Number 10 is on damage control to calm everyones nerves. Hopefully this isn't the case and as you it's a case of surplus beds and being extremely cautious.
Higher smoking rate would be my first guess. Also in places like China and India, female children were selectively aborted not long ago so the general proportion of males in the population is higher.
At what point did I say that? Weird.
It's absolutely disgusting to wish someone, however, much you dislike that person the worst. Just be quiet if you can't be decent.
I've seen some filthy stuff in public bathrooms. Inclined to believe women have a lot better hygiene.
You haven't seen a women's bathroom.
FTFY
What an arsehole.
I have a bad feeling that we will wake up to the news that he’s died
Sorry If I have missed something obvious, what is this russian report ?

I know the feeling
I have been picking up my weekend ale on a Monday after work and running out before the weekend starts and having to restock and so on.Just got to thinking about all the shit that's gone down in the UK over the last 5 years now with Boris being hospitalised.. in an alternate world we could've had Ed Miliband elected in 2015 instead of Cameron and only now would we be coming to the end of his term, with probably about a tenth of the drama we've had
I'm going off football:
Gordon Taylor won't be taking a salary cut - from his 2 million a year

Same here, unfortunately. I really hope I am wrong.
He's a toad.
Mate people are throwing a shit-fit in here if someone so much dares to criticise the racist, not to mention he just recently romped the election with a massive majority. What's more likely to happen is that if he survives this and recovers well he'll be the second coming of Churchill and will be near enough untouchable as far as public persona goes.
Also, the guy who makes the final decisions getting the blame for said decisions is generally how stuff works, yeah.
He is, but it's the sheer amount of unbelieveable stories that are coming out that are tipping me over the edge to be honest. Not only footy, most if not all sport isn't coming out of this with a good look at the moment.
I think possibly because pre-menopause women have hormones that are cardioprotective (especially oestrogen), which is why women's risk of heart attacks only really catches up to men post-menopausal and why men have heart attacks earlier. Might also be differences in gender expressions of ACE2 protein along with loads of other things like smoking with increased prevalence in men
Enlighten us. I know there was some nasty stuff happening in the girls' bathroom in high school (used tampons in the toilet paper holder and such stuff). But in general I refuse to believe that women are anywhere near as careless as men when it comes to washing hands etc.
Feck. What is going on with Boris?
Come on big man get through this.
Come on big man get through this.
Prime Minister Lloyd George nearly died of Spanish Flu in 1918. He was 55 and was seriously ill for 10 days on a respirator. Same age as Boris, Hopefully Boris will have the same outcome and be ok.
Only going on what I've been told in the past by women. There's a reason they invented the hover.
Men shake hands more?
I've had that feeling since last night. VDO below (shared a few days ago by @Raoul) easily explains how the virus evolves and wreaks his havoc, once it enters your body. Generally speaking, its not a major threat for vast vast majority of people. But when it becomes a problem, you are in serious trouble. The numbers also back that up.
My sister told me a few days ago the degradation post ICU can be very rapid and that she's overseen patients die within a few hours after entering ICU. There is very little doctors can do, aside from make you more comfortable, buy your immune system some extra time via a ventilator, and hope your body can repair itself.
The language in the Press Release is written by savvy spin doctors, trying their best to make it sound least alarming as possible. But Im in no doubt, BoJo has entered the genuine problem phase, and could be just hours away from his end.

Trump:
Now is not the time to talk about the litany of intentional decisions Boris Johnson and those like him have made in recent times, which have landed the UK in this situation, with thousands of people less fortunate than him being in far worse situations. Don't you know he has <insert emotive topic which also can relate to those affected by his decisions>?
I wonder what Boris's doctors think of Trump contacting them and interrupting them while they're working
I bet he's pushing HCL too, the cnut.

Which are these 'two companies' who have some kind of magic dust?
It's quite incredible and also scary that in the space of about 3 weeks Boris has gone from bragging about shaking hands with patients to being in intensive care. I hope he pulls through this. There's also a clap for him tomorrow night apparently.
