Yes but it's no suprise. Between the both of them they've hosed the whole country, the key issue being that only 43.6% of voters consented.

Why would he be brought to the hospital if not to get ventilated. Does anybody truly believe that "just tests!" bullshit?

Well, it depends how you choose to interpret "artificial lung ventilation", which is not really a term that would be used, but does not connote non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Which would be an intermediate step

Given he's public school, a tory, possibly a fish man, and boris johnson, I generally assume he's attempted to sleep with at least 90% of the people he meets.

At this point I would be surprised if he hadn't tried to sleep with prince phillip.

I mean, we know he's got the Roni, so the only routine test he could be given is for blood oxygenation, right? Assuming he's having breathing problems, it's either supplemental oxygen or full on intubation, can't be any other reason to admit him.

remember when the left-wing narrative of Labour gains in 2017 was not because Labour was unsustainably triangulating on Brexit, or because it was running to the right of Ed Miliband on austerity and immigration when these were the top issues for voters, but because it had awoken the nation to socialist possibilities

My favourite ronya posts are the ones where he argues Stalin and Mao were also liberals except in rhetoric.

I don't expect it'd be "good" if Johnson died, since there's plenty of utter dipshits in the parliamentary Conservative party who will do their best to be just as rubbish as Johnson in tribute (Raab would probably be elected new leader after serving as acting leader while the leadership elections were going on - and we know how rubbish he is) But it would be interesting. Someone must start a "he faked his own death" rumour if he dies, that'll provide online amusement for years.

Had the displeasure of meeting Boris Johnson at a charity do once. He was surprisingly out of touch, and VERY unfunny.

Anyway yeah given that it's the PM and he's a rich tory at that, one can assume he can call on the best medical care possible. If it was just "tests" I have to think they'd do everything possible at home, which is eminently possible if it's drawing blood, taking a nasal swab, etc. as far as I know, but if he needs like a CT scan of his lungs or whatever then I think that's hospital gear only. Even so that much would be a short trip (And you'd imagine they'd prioritize him so he gets a slot ASAP, either because he's the PM or because you want the oval office out of your hospital immediately).

IANAD so this is all pure conjecture and speculation. I'll put it this way, I won't be surprised if tomorrow he comes home and is fine, but I also won't be surprised if the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actually carks it from rona.

And shortly thereafter I would cark it from laughing too hard.

The year is 2035. Britain remains divided into utterly irreconcilable camps. On one side, those who think Boris Johnson died of rona, and that this was very funny. On the other, those who think he died of rona, and this was a terrible tragedy and the first lot are ghoulish monsters. On the third side, those who think he did die but was assassinated by Corbyintes/Corbyn himself/Carrie Symonds/Russia/etc.. On the fourth side, those who think he didn't die, his death was faked, and he's relaxing in the same island paradise as Jeffrey Epstein.

e; Forgot the crowd who think he died of 5G.

Most likely it'll be Hunt or Gove since the last leadership race wasn't too long ago. Probably Gove as he'll be free to campaign for as long this isn't transmissible to his species.

idk, if he ends up a martyr to it then hopefully that will make it more difficult for the people trying to end the lockdown before we've got this properly under control to get what they want

although if he ends up surviving a really bad case of it, that would probably have the same effect
