Boris Johnson out of hospital

Glad he’s recovered.

 

Tbf they've both definitely had it!

 

Helen I take it then you can not get the virus again once you have had it.

 

I imagine it's a bit different when your first home is actually a functioning office and essentially a business premises

 

Here's hoping

 

Not the man we need for these troubled times. Boris does blustering, cheery optimism to a tee. Announcing daily deaths isn't his bag.

 

I'm usually pretty wary of conspiracy theories, but I don't believe he was a deaths door a couple of days ago on ICU - no one who's genuinely "50/50" to survive this virus is going to be at home 3 days later walking and talking - I just don't believe it.

 

There is a separate living quarters!

 

Seems to be the case.

 

Gowns

 

I suppose he didn't say that even if it was implied. Said it could have gone either way, which is very vague and can be interpreted many different ways. He was obviously ill enough to be in ICU and I suppose either way could mean if things had gotten worse.
They would always use his illness to create a positive spin, that's just politics unfortunately.

 

There is but isn't the treasury in the apartment? I could be wrong there

 

I think Blair and Brown swapped cos of Blair having a larger family and I think johnson might ge doing the same when his baby arrives.

 

Politics aside I'm glad he's on the mend.

I don't know anyone who has needed to go to hospital with it. I do know a few who've had it with flu like symptoms (well suspected they've had it, the dry cough, aching and temperature) . Their recovery was pretty fast. Back to feeling perfectly normal in a few days.

Whether that's the same if the symptoms are worse and you recover, I really don't know. But there isn't just Boris in this, there are also the team of medical staff who cared for him, who he name checked in his thank you address today. These people will be easily traceable. We live in a world where twitter transmits information around the world in a blink of an eye. My experience of NHS staff is that many, not all, but a high percentage, aren't all that keen on the Tory party. If Boris was lying they'd be quick to set the record straight.

I don't like the man, I certainly don't like him as a politician, but he'd have so much to lose if he lied about this. It would get out and his support would simply crumble.

 

In all honesty it could get out (not that I'm saying there was a conspiracy) but unfortunately the support wont crumble, excuses would be made and and believed.

 

A few unpleasant comments on here. I hope Boris makes a good recovery and gets back to work. On a slightly different topic - I've just come up with an idea how we can ALL protect our amazing NHS, and make the situation easier and cost less money. How about we start to develop a healthier lifestyle - cut out the junk food and sugar and Gregg's sausage rolls, fizzy sugary drinks and crap - or at least cut down and eat more healthily. Start to take some exercise - cut down on the booze or stop it altogether if you can. Don't smoke or vape. Then we could cut down on the number of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, obesity and all the things that the NHS has to deal with and we could concentrate on treating sick people. Do I practice what I preach? Yes I do. I don't want to sound holier than thou - I used to smoke and drink heavily and I still have some issues with chocolate - I know changing lifestyle is not easy but it has great rewards.

 

Average time to recover for patients admitted to hospital is between 21-42 days.

 

Someone I work with, has spent two weeks in bed, ill with the CV19; recovered nearly well enough to think about returning to some sort of work.
