SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

[Jippy]

That's when in a ventilator. ICU is used for many other reasons.



No just the ventilator

Thanks. Coin flip odds would be fecking scary.

 

[F-Red]

Worrying time for his pregnant girlfriend, that said i'm sure he'll be in the best possible care there.

 

[Brophs]

One in the eye for all those people who said everyone else in the world would have to die before they allowed Dominic Raab to be PM.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Assuming he is, then what percentage make it out?

Coin toss, apparently. But there must be other factors which increase/decrease the chance.

 

[DVG7]

Why couldn't it be the Orange idiot, why?

if it ever does happen, youll have people sympathizing for him too, its human nature to forget your opinions on people when they actually might die.

 

[RedTiger]

Never really took to Boris but Godspeed he makes it through.

 

[2 man midfield]

This could just be them lying again but it's worth posting

Who's lied about what now?

 

[Heardy]

Worrying time for his pregnant girlfriend, that said i'm sure he'll be in the best possible care there.

Sure I read she is symptomatic now too!

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Not a good sign.

I cannot stand the guy but putting my political views & differences to one side, I sincerely hope to God that he pulls through.

He’s in higher risk categories too.

On the other hand he's basically the person in the country with the highest priority. He'll probably get taken into ICU and cared for way better/more individually than regular people who made up the 50% death rate.

 

[kouroux]

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

Not all of them do, many countries face the same issues with masks and gloves.

 

[esmufc07]

Twitter really is the worst sometimes. If your response is anything other than well wishes then you're not a very nice person.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I am not a huge Boris fan, but I do think he is handling the current situation well, hope he recovers soon to carry on.

 

[TheGame]

Churchill had a stroke in ‘53 that doctors and those close kept secret. Can’t think of any other examples.

I think Anthony Eden was unwell and went on holiday to Jamaica to recover for a while but can’t think of anything else aside from Churchill.

 

[Jericholyte2]

This could just be them lying again but it's worth posting

From having worked as a respiratory physio and seen people moving to and from ICU, you don’t take someone to ICU as a precaution. You do it expecting a condition to worsen, fast, in order to have all of the necessary equipment in place ready to go.

 

[Grinner]

what is Remdesivir?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Genuine question... is the story of Boris shaking hands with Coronavirus patients a few weeks ago actually true?

 

[TheGame]

Like someone said, we first need to know is he's also been put on ventilator.

He hasn’t according to latest reports.

 

[Hephaestus]

I think Anthony Eden was unwell and went on holiday to Jamaica to recover for a while but can’t think of anything else aside from Churchill.

Think Blair had a brief stay in a hospital, just remember all the jokes about Prescott being PM for a day and no-one telling him.

 

[Arruda]

Nope. I have desired Tump's death for a long time. Never in any moment I felt the same for Boris. Bolsonaro is probably the only world leader I put on the level of Trump (with the caveat that there are a lot of leaders I don't know, specially in Africa and Asia).

 

[Sir Matt]

While obviously I hope Boris pulls through, hopefully he now understands how disastrous and idiotic his initial strategy and delayed response to the pandemic were. He wasted precious time and initially was prepared to plow straight on for "herd immunity" despite it being obvious that tens of thousands of people would die. It's very rare for politicians to have to suffer the repercussions of their own actions in the same way normal people do. Hopefully Boris will be one of the lucky ones who make it through, but there will be thousands deaths that might have been avoided with a more competent response.

 

[Jericholyte2]

He said it at one of the first press briefings.

How many minutes, give or take, are you saving by moving someone to an ICU vs being in a regular hospital room?

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Boris in intensive care.

Some of the replies in that are sickening. It really doesn't matter if you think he's a cnut or not. The guy is a human being with a baby on the way ffs.

 

[Sweet Square]

Who's lied about what now?

Ok lying might be the wrong word but it seems like they are holding information from the public.

Ah right

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Some people are just thick thinking they are clever, GO HOME.

Her tone is so smarmy, the copper did well not to be agitated by her. He handled her rather well. I couldn't have stayed that composed speaking to her. I was feeling angry just watching it.

Shes responsible for such a huge waste of resources compared to if she just moved on when requested. Sad to think she is one of far too many who are adopting the "I'm not afraid" stance.

 

[Sandikan]

Some people are just thick thinking they are clever, GO HOME.

Breath taking patience from those police there, really hats off!

Can only imagine she's an exceptionally lonely individual. And you just know if that was on youtube there'd be tonnes of halfwits applauding her, for some inexplicable reason, having wasted everyone's time, and no doubt getting a fine.

 

[SalfordRed18]

I'm sorry, I won't be happy if he dies, but I'm not gonna sit here send him my best wishes.

The man was happy to let thousands die to achieve herd immunity so it's quite ironic if he's one of them.

I hope it doesn't die simply it's the last thing the country needs right now, but I'm not going to suddenly forget him twiddling his fingers and allowing us to get in this situation.

 

[Sir Matt]

what is Remdesivir?

It's an antiviral drug initially created to treat Ebola that's being tested for COVID-19.

He had a heart op in 2003.

Yep agree, think they are trying to keep public calm but situation must be serious.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

He said it at one of the first press briefings.

Unbelievable. I remember him saying that he was still shaking hands but I didn't know if the handshakes with Coronavirus patients was actually true.

 

[esmufc07]

Do we think he actually was though, or more a case of Boris just being Boris? Wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter.

Still, doesn't matter at this stage. He's seriously ill and hopefully he'll be back to full health soon.

 

[Jericholyte2]

How many minutes, give or take, are you saving by moving someone to an ICU vs being in a regular hospital room?

It’s all about maintaining oxygenation and supply to the brain. Depending on the distance between wards it could be anything between 2-3 or even up to 10minutes (depending on organisation/ need to traverse floors etc). In this time a massive amount of damage could happen.

If you have the kit there and ready you can have him intubated in seconds, limiting the damage to a minimum.

 

[Cal?]

Why couldn't it be the Orange idiot, why?

As much as I dislike the orange one, I'd rather it be the Pooh.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

Coin toss, apparently. But there must be other factors which increase/decrease the chance.

There has to be, but this is to be found out further down the line, right now I just pray that Boris is on the right side of whatever they are.

I'm not even that keen on the guy, but I barely slept thinking about this last night, the impact of him not making would be terrible, people are tossers who say otherwise.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Boris in intensive care.

The responses to that tweet are just vile. Why can’t people seperate their politician opinions even when a man is potentially dying.

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Yeah have just read some the disgusting comments and as you said are downright sickening.
