I need to reiterate. They announced he was in hospital. The only reason he would be admitted is if he were having trouble breathing.

The advice when a COVID patient is having trouble breathing is to intubate early. He's intubated.

Responses:

Not every hospitalized person is intubated. (He may well be, but the numbers I hear here don't support that everyone is) -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 13:47 15
- I was looking for a way to say this also. We have corona patients doing interviews here from the hospital. Also a World Leader is going to get - Bacon Apr 5, 13:50 13
  - They would send a full staff to 10 Downing. The ONLY reason he's in the hospital is for a ventilator. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:53 12
    - They are showing a video from Friday where he is talking about how he was feeling at the time. Quite a turn in two days then. -- nm - zork Apr 5, 13:55 11
      - See this I can see happening. People turn really quick with this thing. I still say there are other reasons than A SINGLE REASON VENTILATOR, that he -- (edited) - Bacon Apr 5, 13:58 9
        
        you can't drive a ventilator to someone's house. It doesn't work that way. -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 5, 13:59 8
        
        Possible that hospitals just can't spare the staff to send to one patient at this time? I realize it's the prime minister but these are unique times. -- nm - pmb Apr 5, 14:11 1
        
        He's not "one patient." he's the PM. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:35
        
        You are going down the other path from what I am talking about. There are many pieces of medical equipment you can't drive down the road. Hence why - Bacon Apr 5, 14:02 5
        
        If it were just for a scan, they would whisk him in and out. No test would require him to be admitted. I respect your POV. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:05 4
        
        I respect yours as well. I get very worried about absolutes when we are just speculating. Even if we have knowledge of what should be happening - Bacon Apr 5, 14:07 3
        
        It takes something EXTREMELY serious for any government to announce the leader has been admitted to the hospital. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:11 2
        
        The official announcement is that it was not for any thing urgent but that his symptoms are persistent -- nm - zork Apr 5, 14:15 1
        
        Of course they said that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:36
      - This virus is characterized by dramatic, rapid downturn. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:56
- He is the PM. He would only have to be in the hospital if it was the only option. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:50
