- Bozo has been pushing it hard here. Coincidentally, one of the major manufacturers here is a first-hour supporter of his. - Marlowe Apr 5, 16:35
- He does almost be seeming to try to *will* the drug to work. And he has to know it doesn't work that way. - ty97 Apr 5, 16:14 9

      - Thank you! -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:53 2
        
        It can be oddly entertaining. Seeing him fidget wanting to grab the podium. Bullying reporters almost to the point of yelling FU. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 14:56 1
        
        I wish I could see him like that. I can only see him as concentrated evil and be sickened by it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 15:47
    - I'm grateful to the brave ones. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:50 2
      - Those things need to be not televised. Everything you think you learn soon gets contradicted or proven false. -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 15:02 1
        
        Once again I disagree. People need to hear him for themselves. Those that don't want to watch don't have to. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 16:03

I suspect loosi is correct about BoJo. -- nm - amanda Apr 5, 14:23 11
- It does seem likely that they would avoid admitting a PM/President to the hospital unless absolutely necessary - ty97 Apr 5, 14:29 2
  - I think it’s more likely they err on the side of caution. If you don’t and he does decline, you’ve not been overly cautious with your national leader - Will Hunting Apr 5, 15:14
  - The Royal Army can send a full team to 10 Downing, and they probably did. There is only one reason for him to be admitted to hospital. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 5, 14:37
- I agree. But if the came out and said it right now, the English economy and everything else would go even crazier -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 14:28 7
  - apparently the odds of survival once vented is 50-50 and averages 2 weeks, people will notice if he's not around two weeks -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 14:29 6
    - I read somewhere you have a 20% chance. I have zero credible source for that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:34 2
      - This is the number I heard as well, so 50-50 would be great -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 14:35 1
        
        I heard Loosi's number also. But it wasn't age/underlying conditions broken down. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 16:00
    - I hadn't heard anything as rosy as 50-50 but I hope that's right -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 14:30 2
      - Italy was so overwhelmed only one of six got vented, and pulled off if no improvement in one week - zeitgeist Apr 5, 14:35 1
        
        FYI Italy has many more ventilators per capita than we do. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:36

- Fauci says it's "false" to say US has coronavirus under control: “We are struggling" -- (link) - budice Apr 5, 14:20 6
  - "Under control" as in we can guarantee less than 350M people in the US will get it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 14:25 4
    - "Hard Choices Will Have to be Made" which means who gets a chance at live saving measures and who gets a cot and morphine drip to ease the way -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 14:32 3
      - It means old people won't be vented. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:42 2
        
        Or will be until someone else, with better chance of survival, needs it. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 14:45 1
        
        They are not venting old people. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 14:49
  - He's right! -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 14:23
Scotland's chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood has resigned after breaching the UK lockdown by visiting her second home -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 14:17 9

    - That sounds contradictory to the social distancing rules -- nm - zork Apr 5, 14:23 2
      - Someone still has to deliver meals to the homebound -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 14:24
      - CMO, so, I am sure she would be helpful at a hospital. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 14:24
- OFFS -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 14:18 1
  - I assume she thought the rules were only for common folk. -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 14:21
COVID-19 - It's the real thing! -- nm - VMan Apr 5, 14:16
