Absolutely played up (after probably released) to bring down Trump. But thw fly doesn’t off people like Boris—or too many where I am in the NYC region.

He wouldn’t be in ICU if he wasn’t on a vent.

Mr Johnson remains conscious and has been moved to intensive care as a precaution should he require ventilation.

I came to FR years ago because of Buckhead's genius exposure of the fake bush-rather-guard letter as a word document.

now I'm more likely to find people talkin' out their butt.

Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Pump blood out of the body (Extra Corporeal)

Run it over a membrane that is permeable to oxygen and CO2 to mimic lung function.

Pump it back into the to body.

Sometimes called a heart-lung machine

Yes, I misspoke.

I understood him to be worse off and just heard the opposite.

My apologies. Not talking out my ass, but shooting from the hip.

Anecdote. Dear friend, 72, diabetic, was on vent 16 days, then got tracheotomy and breathing on own. Still not out of the woods but the virus is gone.

Not necessarily.

Several years ago, I spent three days in ICU due to my heart defect and was only on oxygen.

You Corona Cheerleaders never cease your childish antics, do you?

How do you know he’s on a ventilator? Are you his physician?

Everyone knows that all ICU patients are on a ventilator. NOT!!

Are you asking if I had visitors and spoke with them?

Yes, I did.

After they got my heart rate back to normal, my Primary Care Physician kept me in ICU for three days so my heart rate could be carefully observed.

Of course, every individual and every situation is different.

Let’s hope and pray for PM Johnson’s quick recovery.

"Not true we have successfully extubated multiple COVID patients"

Reports have been up to 80% of covid-19 patients that need intubation die. Official numbers are hard to find, but there was a report in the UK that had better, but still bad numbers.

Of 165 patients admitted to ICUs, 79 (48%) died. Of the 98 patients who received advanced respiratory support—defined as invasive ventilation, BPAP or CPAP via endotracheal tube, or tracheostomy, or extracorporeal respiratory support—66% died.

The reported numbers from China were even worse, 86% who needed mechanical ventilation died.

The hat has not been my experience here. at least 50% are surviving but i don’t have hard numbers. I suspect it may get better than that

The relatively young Prime Minister of England is in the intensive care unit because of this virus, and the media is playing this up just because they want to hurt Trump? You’re delusional.

No, I’m not delusional. I have been accurately noting here for months now—this is a serious health crisis AND the media and others are using it to try to bring down Trump.

Have you not listened to the nightly whine as the media focus on stupid little gotcha questions? Do you not read and see the media bias every day?

I’m quite sure that if you haven’t, I’m not the one who’s delusional.
