The thing i don't understand about that is would they really put someone on ICU, given how in demand them beds are now, just as a precaution for monitoring?
I think it's bollocks. I think he's been in there since yesterday (hence that Russia report) and this is potentially getting the public ready for the worse.
He's unwell enough that the doctors think he may need ventilation, he's not gone there just for monitoring. So it makes sense for him to be in the unit now, with equipment there ready to go if needed. Things can change very rapidly.
Maybe, i just don't know though. It seems very odd how they'd put someone there for monitoring, especially if they have a big influx of patients, which can happen at any time.
Are you alluding that the people working around the clock to try to save lives in the ICUs around the world aren't doing their best for the patients that aren't the prime minister, and that they could squeeze out an extra 5% of good old fashioned healthcare if the patient's important enough?
Just quoting this incase anyone missed it, if you have nothing nice to say get on twitter with the rest of the numptys, the poor guy could be on his death bed.
That does make sense. I do work within the NHS, but i work within the operating theatres, so i don't know how wards/ICU work. I imagine that, as you say, situations can change rapidly, and i've been given a lot of training on monitoring/how Covid-19 affects patients etc.
I don't know how it is in England but in Sweden, we don't have arterial cannulas in most 'regular' non-ICU wards. Arterial cannulas allow for easy and repeated blood sampling which would reveal a deterioration that is not seen on the monitor where you typically just see heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure.Maybe, i just don't know though.

As i say though, you quite possibly could be very right. It's a grim situation no matter how you look at it
He really has and he won't even get the credit for it, instead everyone will just blame him for his scientists feck ups.
It kind of fecks up someone's argument of your words can be paraphrased as "this person has caused others to suffer so I'm going to be the same and wish he suffers too". An eye for an eye and the world goes blind, except for the one eyed guy who's left who just runs away and hides behind a bush, so to speak.
I hope not, but i'm getting the feeling you might be right.
I should be fine then, this whole situation has been turning me back in to an alcoholic

It would shock me more if he didn't get special treatment and the best possible care. Still, i'd like to believe that anyone in his situation would get the same treatment. Still, everyone with Covid-19 is in the best hands with some of the most dedicated staff you can get.
At what point did I say that? Weird.
