My understanding, which I hope is correct, is that Carrie Symonds is recovering from Covid. So physically she should be more or less OK. Mentally, though... :(

Thanks for that, Jim.

Pressed the button too soon - TTT you spend a lot of your time posting your thoughts on here. We don

[237SJ]

Try again (bloody internet) TTT you spend a lot of your time posting your thougts on here. Please don`t tell other people that they can`t

[jourdain2]

For Goodness' sake stop quibbling, people - this is serious.

237Sj - I couldn't help but read your post. I wish I hadn't. And I won't in future. I knew when my dad was dying too. I knew the facts.

I may post my thoughts but I don't go around predicting the death of people based on nothing but some sort of premonition.

[AuntPollyGrey]

The official line is 'Boris is in Intensive care but its just a precaution. ICU doctor: People are not given an Intensive care bed 'as a precaution' Who to believe?

[Ellipsis]

You can believe both.

[calmck]

We often moved patients to ICU as a precaution. Given that Boris is PM a wise move in my opinion

[ToraToraTora]

"People are not given an Intensive care bed 'as a precaution' " - they are when they are the PM.

[jim360]

I don't see the problem. People make predictions all the time. In this case I dearly hope they are wrong, but nothing to get offended about.

[TheDevil]

surely the whole reason for the ICU is precautionary?

Hard to believe he would be there because it's more comfortable //and the just had the spare room...

In regards to what 237Sj said, either ignore it or don't, but don't turn it into a bigger issue than what you feel it already was.

237Sj I hope you are proved wrong but unfortunately I share your feelings. :-(

the magic number is 50% - a toss of the coin
not odds I wd want (again) but not hopeless

and yes I am actually praying ....

[jourdain2]

PP that's at least 2 of us......

[Mozz71]

It must be serious, Peter's posts are making sense :-D

[jno]

PP, if it's purely precautionary and not something that would be done for all patients in his condition, then the odds might well be better than 50-50 as he'd be a statistical outlier?

[Ellipsis]

Just watching a report from an ICU on BBC News.

A harrowing place to be, especially conscious and 24/7. I doubt he would be placed there by choice.

[TheDevil]

I bet it will be a busy night for MPs tonight...

Awful news. I sincerely hope he pulls through.
