This is interesting, you get a lot of frothing about the government at national level turning away from Europe which may be true for the sake of playing silly political games, but this is a tweet from a consultant at Guys and St Thomas'

It’s late and I had a beer. I’ve read that about 10 times and I can’t figure out what is being said.

His age, sex and weight will all be working against him at the moment, let's hope they're just keeping an extra keen eye on him

It means getting some plasma (part of the blood) from a former patient which is likely to be rich in antibodies for the virus. Think of it as a DIY vaccine

I read somewhere that Boris had problems with pneumonia in the past, is this true and how much bearing does this help with his fight?

I have never heard the Conservatives apologise for the state of british hospitals. For instance just 2 years ago my dad's final few hours were spent in a corridor, so I have a right to criticise Boris and conservatives laisse-faire attitude to this crisis and the NHS generally over last decade. No-one wants Boris to pass away but this situation is a leveller for us all. Most rational left leaning people want the extreme right wing finance driven toffs (eg. JRM) to show more compassion for the working classes. Maybe this is a wake-up call and we all need to realise we are in this together and for a successful country we need to work together better and support each other when we get through this.

No change in Johnson's condition overnight which is a positive apparently so hopefully that's a bit of good news.

Agreed NW. I think a lot on here have rightly said it’s more useful looking at the trends over a few days (On the other hand the media appear to react on a daily basis !!) In particular, confirmed cases and also hospital admissions (if/when the announce them). A downward trend here would hopefully eventually lead to a downward trend on fatalities in due course.

Fingers crossed it’s at least another stable(ish) day even if the fatality numbers aren’t necessarily decreasing

Well, that has to be the worst possible news ever if true and you could still pass on the virus.

Just been speaking to a doctor at Milton Keynes hospital and he says they are starting to fill up. His major concern was that the age of patients was much younger than expected, including a 23 year old nurse. Pay attention youngsters!

Definitely. The way Raab kept repeating the line yesterday "he's in good spirits" it just felt like they were trying to spin it a bit, odd behaviour.

All the best to Mr Johnson, hope he makes a speedy recovery.

When you're Dominic Raab the best strategy when speaking in public is to take a short, simple statement and keep repeating it.
Otherwise you end up with a 'Dover' moment

Didn't see it, what did he say? Also thought Raab seemed a bit nervy last night during the press conference.

Something else I'd forgotten about.

Remember when Boris joked that a push to source ventilators could be known as 'Operation Last Gasp'.

And before anyone starts, no that does not mean I want him to die ffs.

Not really as the deaths reported on one day can be many days old.

The new case count as a percentage of tests is the best matrix at the moment. The raw number of positive tests is likely to go up as the government t tries to ramp up testing
