Boris has Covid 19

[Hobbit]

As a reposte to that poor post we have moved three ventilated patients back to a normal respiratory ward today and off the vent. From my perspective I was surmising it may be a ventilator based on the cases I've seen at my ICU. It may be hi-flow oxygen but either way he's needing a lot of support to his lungs.

Maybe he's only on a nasal canula. Maybe he's on CPAP with a low PEEP. Perhaps he's on ASB with a high trigger level. Or ASB with a low trigger level. Or maybe he's really poorly and on IPPV at a very high O2 level.

Let's not scare the bejeesus out of people by telling everyone there's only a 50% chance of surviving a ventilator. The reality is very different. For someone Boris' age with early intervention it not a million miles from 100%.

it's starting to get a bit nauseating listening to some of the gloom merchants.

Totally agree.

If ventilators are no use, why are hospitals desperately trying to get more of them.
Or do some of the self acclaimed experts on here know better.

I am assuming that anyone with coronavirus reaching the point of requiring ventilation does actually seriously require it. Not having a ventilator available would be bad, that's why they are desperately needed.

I don't need to read anything new about this to be very concerned.

Why, if Boris is coherent I wouldn't expect anything to be said, announced or changed without it being run by him first.

I like the sentiment Robin, but I’d rather they let boris concentrate on recovery and let others look after the Country.

Plus I really don’t think the ICU Staff will want a patient being bothered by outsiders.

I’d imagine that rule is slightly different for a pm.
Not sure his condition will have been a factor if they wanted to get him in ICU, he’ll jump to top of list.

Only repeating what was just on sky news (for what thats worth) said at moment even the pm wouldnt get ICU unless needed .. only relaying second hand info tho

I've not heard anything about Boris going on a ventilator, they have said he continues to have a high temperature. Let's not start guessing but wait and see how he progresses.

Get well soon Boris.

Hope he’s okay.

In the spirit of " being in this together "... I'd like to wish positive outcomes and speedy recovery to all those caught up with this awful virus...

You can't bring yourself to say get well soon Boris?

 

[drdel]

Let's hope he comes through unscathed. I think most who don't have had serious underlying issues.

I hope Carrie Symonds gets fully fit and has family support, it must be a nightmare,

 

[jim8flog]

and now they want give him the clap.

Not quite sure why you feel Boris is excluded from my message of support to all those stricken with the virus...

 

[pokerjoke]

He’s covered everybody

 

[Ethan]

I hope that Boris gets better soon. I think his handling of this crisis, on top of the lack of pandemic planning and NHS neglect of previous Govts, has been terrible, but I wouldn't wish this nasty disease on my worst enemy.

Listening to Daily briefing and Kunsberg banging on about ‘who is running the country’ if Boris is not around... Silly lass, doesn’t she know that DomCom runs it
