Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care after his coronavirus symptoms worsened, Downing Street have confirmed.
A statement from Number 10 said: "over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.
"The PM has asked Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary.
"The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication."

Maybe they are using Raoult’s protocol but Boris is showing minor QT prolongation and they need CCU room, or if they’re going to switch to remdesivir now, can have some minor side effects. But if he’s getting antibody plasma and either treatment above, and is still sliding sideways, got to turn it around by Wednesday...
Johnson has these conditions?
Not the best news.
Is/was he a smoker?
.
“He wouldnt be in ICU if he wasnt on a vent.”
Thanks I was afraid of that but didn’t want to believe the worst as they story didn’t say anything about it.
Prayers are up.
Well, somebody just needs to call over there and tell him it’s just the flu!
What’s ECMO?
And I don’t think that’s exclusive to the UK. Does anyone here actually think they have access to the same quality of health care as our “betters” in Congress?
lets just pray....we can't afford to loose him.....
“Every day, drop that rate by 10 points. 4 or 5 days on a vent and he is not going to make it.”
If you are put on a ventilator it drops to almost zero.
So those Russian reports may have been right after all.
Damn, this is not good at all.
Ruh-roh.
Damn... I things improve for him quickly.
“Johnson has these conditions?”
I have no idea.
this man is an important man, and he needs to be saved...
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. An artificial lung.

Some useful Go-To protocols out there
“Damn, this is not good at all.”
Hi gator, yeah, it’s time for us to offer some prayers up for Boris Johnson.
Not true we have successfully extubated multiple COVID patients
Clinical trials are ongoing to test chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as an agent in the treatment of COVID-19 or to prevent COVID-19 infection. These clinical trials are still not completed, so no conclusions have been reached on the safety and effectiveness of this medicine to treat or prevent COVID-19.
Until we have clear, definitive evidence that these treatments are safe and effective for the treatment of COVID-19, they should only be used for this purpose within a clinical trial.
