That’s all they’re saying right now. He was admitted yesterday for “tests” after testing positive for Coronavirus a few days ago.

With the Foreign Secretary being the new boss, does he have to write a new Letter of Last Resort?

So what you’re saying is not to shake hands with COVID-19 patients ?

You would think the in situ ones will suffice until a more final decision is made.  Choose your people well and they will choose well in your stead.

Not shocked. When he was admitted yesterday, you knew it had to be bad, since they could surely get a doctor out to #10 to keep it low key if it was a minor issue. Even if he had to come in for CT scan or something, they’d no doubt make a show about it not being a big deal.

I hope that he recovers and will be returned to his awful self, but maybe a bit wiser. To paraphrase Willy Wonka.

Maybe he’ll at least adopt some of Prince Charles’ diet and lifestyle habits. Guy is 71, a nd bounced back in less than a week of home rest. Yes, it affects different people differently for a variety of reasons, but being a health nut probably doesn't hurt your chances

Obese and smoker are two risk factors. One thing that this will do is demonstrate what the best resources can do to fight this.

Plenty of stories about people dying with underlying conditions, others about people who had no underlying conditions dying. It’s a crazy thing.

If I'm not mistaken, hasn't his fiance (and pregnant???) had symptoms as well?

I do not, unfortunately for my access to affordable health care and multiparty(ish) democracy. I live in one of the marginally less stupid parts of a very stupid country. But as a Cars And Politics Nerd I have followed Mr. Johnson’s career with interest and mild nausea since he was merely a very annoying journalist.

Does anyone else see that BBC News graphic as a racecar  driver with his head bowed?

It’d make an awesome helmet graphic.

Nice stealth edit above.

Unlike 100 years ago, looking at the public persona of politicians does not inspire one towards examining traits of leadership.  The Iron Lady was an exception.

Australia?

If certain Pacific islanders are to be believed, the immortality comes from his father’s side.

I probably overstated the evidence. He has smoked but it is not clear he still does.

Being in ICU doesn’t mean he’s fucked. In fact, it doesn’t even mean he’s even hooked up to a ventilator or other fancy gadgets (according to ABC News Oz he’s not). But what it does mean that he’s under constant medical supervision, either because of the treatment regimen or the stability of his condition. Given the sheer likelihood  that he has pneumonia...I’d vote for the latter.

Yes. But he is still the first world leader to be hospitalized. He’s my age, too.
