s***.
Thought the panic was over when he was tweeting today (if it really was him) but this dosen't sound good at all given how the virus works.

Bloody hell. Get well soon boris.
Does that 50% still stand if he's not on a ventilator?
Wow... Unbelievable. It feels like we're living in a movie.
I feel like his condition is worse than what we're being told.
Yesterday it was a precaution, now it's in case he needs it.

If he dies I guess Raab will be Prime Minister for at least 6 months before a leadership election can take place.
God. This is just awful news.
How old is he ?
Churchill had a stroke in ‘53 that doctors and those close kept secret. Can’t think of any other examples.
Jesus. Hope he pulls through.
Thought that's how this virus works. Shit goes down quickly after a long incubation period.
Hopefully totally precautionary. If he's giving out orders (re Raab taking over) then surely he can't be that bad.
I did find it odd how they took him in last night. Something must've been mot right.
Isn’t much available. And the ones we have are shit. I went to a house the other day with one on and after about two minutes I was struggling for air so took it off.
Come on Boris, you can do it.
He looked like shit in one of the videos he did. But the one he did most recently, he looked much better in.
I think it ties in with what some people have described. They initially get a bit better before it gets serious.
Didnt believe the precautionary stuff and was expecting this. 10-14 days still with symptoms seems to be the general rule for ICU admissions, hes obviously be admitted at the low end to give him the best chance of recovery
What sad, sad news. Whatever side of the political spectrum you sit. All the best fella.
Last who died while serving was in 1860s I think.
I read once you’re intubated the mortality rate jumps to 80%.
I mean if you read a 55 year old had died it wouldn’t have even made the news but it being Boris Johnson in intensive care somehow makes it a bit scarier. I guess it shows no money can save you from this if it’s bad enough 
He's not exactly an old man but it doesn't look like he lives a healthy life, imagine the pressure he must have been under for the past few weeks.
Awful news
The 50% stats sound bad but it's covering all admissions. It'll be well below that in his age range plus I'd imagine they'll have admitted him on lower risk than others so you'd think he'll be fine.
Still a mind feck. No matter politics man has a child in the way so all the wishe to his recovery.

That's terrible really really hope he pulls through
Any know how many that are put in intensive care make it out the other side?
feck. I know he isn't popular on here but I've always liked Boris. Really hope he pulls through.
Not true.
Like someone said, we first need to know is he's also been put on ventilator.
Isn't his wife pregnant too? Hopefully he makes it through.
Sick of saying it but post a source.
That's when in a ventilator. ICU is used for many other reasons.Blimey, what’s the recovery rate of intensive care patients?
Edit - 50% apparently
No just the ventilator
Great, so we're putting them in harms way. What are we gonna do when they get sick?
From what I've seen in other countries, the police are wearing masks and gloves
Assuming he is, then what percentage make it out?
Must admit unnerving BBC newscaster keeps pausing....reminds me of the night when Diana had the car crash and BBC were told she'd passed but there was an embargo so newscaster that night keep pausing as he was being told the news in his ear.
Not looking good anyway given the grim way this virus seems to work on its victims.
