Lots of people won't get the chance to recover because of his and his government's actions, which were obviously out of step with everyone else in the world at the time (except Donald Trump).
How the feck do you expect lockdown to end in the West without a vaccine unless herd immunity kicks in. No I should have added into the options doing what Asia seems to have done and introduces a level of surveillance and adherence that all western populations would be up in arms about.
I’d rather it be neither. Jeez man what’s wrong with you?
I don't understand why anyone should feel obligated to give him their best wishes. I don't want him to die or anything. However my best wishes and concern are reserved for everyone else who's fighting for their lives right now, but wasn't in a privileged enough position to do anything about this whole thing.
I'm working 60 hours per week in a public health, vigilance and medical support unit that coordinates Covid-19 in an Autonomous region of 240.000 people. I do not think I have an history of being arrogant in redcafe and I have been here for more than 10 years.
I can’t believe there isn’t more anger at the actual UK experts and the original model.
His bluster is part of his charm unfortunately. A hard to dislike guy even when he's totally against what you personally believe.
I'm genuinely stunned at some of the stuff people are posting.
You’d think that’d be common sense really, but no.
Fair enough, but he wasn't 'happy for people to die'.
We haven't seen the worse of it yet so I can't the lockdown being lifted anytime soon.

True. Fair to say that it’s hard to estimate his chance of survival but he’s in a spot.
He‘s in intensive care. Shits baaad.
Oxford and Cambridge have an amateur boxing tradition and he boxed for Oxford.What a dreamboat
What sort of outfit is that though.
phwoar!
Is this wannabe hunk in charge of the UK right now?
Me too mate , there are some horrible twats in this country.
It's all very easy to be Captain hindsight about things isn't it.
Well said mate.
It is though in Denmark (although they aren’t locked down, they can still freely go out).
Aye, the model was wrong they said.
It's not analogous but Harold Wilson resigned unexpectedly in ill health, later being diagnosed with cancer and early onset Alzheimer's. He was one clever bloke, many suspect he knew, sadly.
Totally agree. Politics shouldn't matter now, but unfortunately the Tories have underfunded education for so long, that's this is what we get. Or something.
I’m guessing Johnson would’ve entered intensive care much prior to the stage at which a random person would.
There was plenty of experts they could have chose to listen to which would have given them good advice. They chose the experts with the advice they preferred. All the talk back then was “more lives will be lost through the economy“. That was always a bollocks argument and completely underestimated the threat of this virus.
Aye.
Operation Last Gasp apparently got a giggle a short time ago.
As a leader of one of the most established countries in the world I'd have hoped he would taken a look around Europe and wondered if those experts were up to scratch.
Yes and no.
Many drugs (including the one you mentioned, the malaria druh Trump mentions, and a few HIV drugs) have been used successfully. The problem is that right now it is extremely hard to know if it was the drug who ceased the infection, or it was the immunity system of that person. For this reason, there are (I believe) 52 trials of different drugs going on, after which it will become clear if the drugs are effective or not. Hopefully at least one of them shows to be effective (if it is the malaria drug even better, cause it is quite cheap and easy to mass-produce).
Yes, you are chatting shit again.
What did he say?
