Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #80

If his outcome is poor then I guess they will have to concede it's a big deal. Not death, just having oxygen like England's Prime Minister Boris Johnson who was touch and go.

Was Boris rushed to the hospital so soon after his positive test??

Thankfully he survived.

Boris had more than oxygen! He was on an actual ventilator. And yet many Americans continue to stubbornly downplay this. It’s almost like much of society has returned to a pre-germ theory era while the scientists are desperately trying to prove that germs exist and bring us back to the present.

If that’s him today he looks hale and hearty. The cocktail of drugs seems to be working.

That’s today. French Press

No, he was working from his prime minister Downing Street residence like it was just a bad cold. Later he took a turn for the worse and was rushed to the hospital, ended up on oxygen, can't remember exactly, ventilator? But he almost lost his life, at which point he took it more seriously.

Yes. And I’m not trying to derail the thread with a discussion about health care and what’s fair or poor me or anything like that.

I’m just worried, and frankly upset at the thought, that people will use the outcome for the president to support the belief that this is not a big deal.

And that’s a problem since his outcome is dictated in large part by care, including experimental and/or preventative, to which most people don’t have access.

We understand.

Some video in this link ... just under the 'thumbs up' photo ... of him walking to the helicopter at the White House.

Yes. And we have to remember that he fell ill in late March. Long before a lot of things we know know about effective treatments, developed.

It doesn’t appear Johnson was on a ventilator. He said it was 50-50 whether to put him on one.


“It was hard to believe that in just a few days my health had deteriorated to this extent. I remember feeling frustrated. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting better.”

He added: “But the bad moment came when it was 50-50 whether they were going to have to put a tube down my windpipe.”

Johnson described how doctors supplied him with “litres and litres of oxygen” to avoid a worst-case scenario.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was discharged Sunday (April 12) from St. Thomas' Hospital and will continue to recover from COVID-19 at his country residence, Chequers.

Doctors had moved him into the ICU on Monday (April 6) as a precaution in case he ended up needing a ventilator to breathe, The Washington Post reported. Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said at the time that Johnson was receiving oxygen, but that he was not on a ventilator, The New York Times reported.

Johnson described how doctors supplied him with “litres and litres of oxygen” to avoid a worst-case scenario. He understood the stark reality of his situation when the “bloody indicators kept going the wrong way."

I don't see Trump willingly going to Walter Reed if he didn't feel it was necessary. Sending many thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Did you see his twitter video? He looks fine. Totally healthy. Talks with ease. No lack of oxygen.

Yes, very happy to see that

I'm officially worried for our president. I will feel better if I can see him walk to the helicopter on his own......

I just saw that on the live ABC link. I also saw him walk off it and get in the presidential limo to be driven just up the road to the hospital. He looked Ok. Had a mask on.

Sky news is best one.
