Yeah he didn't look too good a few days back. Hoping he gets better, he's an amusing character...

Sure he's fine tbh

Not so sure...he was pure oxygen...often this leads to the ventilator...and that is often a one way street.

Ahh sh*t...in the case...hope he recovers

His underlying health issues might be working against his recovery.

Findings: Of them, 53·1% were normal weight, 4·2% were underweight, 32·0% were overweight, and 10·7% were obese. Patients with obesity, versus without, were tended to have cough (P=0·03) and fever (P=0·06). After adjusting for potential confounders, compared to normal weight, overweight showed 86% higher, and obesity group showed 2·42-fold higher odds of developing severe pneumonia. Despite a non-significant sex interaction was found (P=0·09), the association appeared to be more pronounced in men than in women. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for severe pneumonia in overweight and obesity was 1·96 (0·78-4·98) and 5·70 (1·83-17·76) in men, and 1·51 (0·57-4·01) and 0·71 (0·07-7·3) in women, respectively.​

The good news is that BJ is only 55 (Boris Johnson - Wikipedia) and so his risk of death is apparently very low.

Should young people be worried about coronavirus?

How convenient. The Royalty and their minions did not like Boris Johnson because of Brexit and doing what the British people wanted.

I can see it now.....see how dangerous it is....even this famous powerful politician got it. So taking away your Liberties is justified.

I heard a British guy saying his son went to a park in the country to walk his dog. No one around anywhere. Then a Bobby sox shows up and tells him what he is doing is illegal, not essential and he could be arrested.
