But he's still faking it, right?


People are told to isolate for 7 days from symptom onset. Is that really long enough if BJ is still ill after 10 days? How many other people were still ill but stopped isolating after 7 days?

Slow burner or possibly developed pneumonia.

Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital with coronavirus after suffering persistent symptoms for 10 days.

Downing Street insisted it was just a precautionary measure but Johnson’s admission on a Sunday evening comes after days of rumours that his condition has been worsening.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “On the advice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests. This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus.”

It is understood Johnson remains in charge of the government, although Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary and first secretary of state, is poised to take charge if he should worsen.

Johnson had been hoping to leave quarantine on Friday after seven days of self isolation but his persistent temperature meant he had to remain inside his flat at No 11 Downing Street.

The Guardian was told last week that Johnson was more seriously ill than either he or his officials were prepared to admit, and that he was being seen by doctors who were concerned about his breathing.

But Downing Street flatly denied that the prime minister’s health had seriously deteriorated, and insisted there were no plans at that point for him to be admitted to hospital.

Earlier on Sunday, Matt Hancock was asked just how ill the prime minister was. The health secretary told Sophy Ridge on Sunday: “He’s OK. I’ve been talking to him every day, several times a day… he’s very much got his hand on the tiller. But he’s still got a temperature.” He added: “He’s working away inside Downing Street. He’s in good spirits.”

Surely he needs to be tested again? If he still has the virus then that should affect the advice going out to people about isolating for only 7-days.

he's ten days in showing I dare say breathing problems he's in for a rough ride now

“Doctors will be monitoring important vital signs such as oxygen saturations,” said Dr Rupert Beale, who heads the cell biology of infection laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute in London.

“They will also check blood tests to see what the immune response to the virus looks like, and to assess liver and kidney function. They will perform an electrocardiogram to check the heart. More sophisticated tests may include a CT scan of the chest to get an accurate picture of the lungs.”

hmmm precautionary measures is not a ct scan liver-kidney test plus full-bloods and white cell count

He looked like shit on the steps of Number 10.
It could be the end of him or maybe, the reality check he was needing all along.
Still, I wouldn't wish him dead, he has too much to answer for.

It's precautionary when you're a Prime Minister. They'll run every test imaginable. Besides, this virus can lead to catastrophic multiple organ failure so I think those tests are to be expected.
