Those two states would be generally incompatible. I've been in intensive care and it certainly didn't seem to be a place where patients are taken as a precaution - it's a place where you are taken when you are very ill.

Dont know how much of this is true but article in The times seems to suggest that although he is in intensive care he may not be as bad as some in there. It also says that he is being seen by the top man and Saint Thomas is one of the top if not the top hospital for respiratory diseases. It also says that he has been moved to the private part of the hospital. All in all, the impression i got is that yes he is being treated by the NHS but is getting the VIP treatment, as you might expect. I am no fan of his politics but hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember - we're all in it together... Yeah I expected it on the 27th - the day he announced he had tested positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Getting bored of the daily briefings now. They just arent answering the questions posed to them and are just repeating what is said every day. Are we near the peak yet? What is the peak? Peak infections or peak deaths? Wasnt the original prediction we would peak around Easter weekend? From a friend who works in the NHS:- "Who knows, I think it's worse in larger hospitals in bigger cities but they've been preparing us for this surge for 3 weeks, they keep saying it's coming but it never does! I dont think anyone actually knows anything" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the models they are using suggest a drop in cases but the proof will only be known when the totals come in. If they start giving people the idea the worst is over how many do you think will be back out or having their mates round because we’re over the worst? I think it is peak infections because the deaths follow about 2 - 3 weeks after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d expect the prime minister, regardless of which party he/she leads to be treated with a little more of a priority the rest of us mere mortals.

I was made redundant from my first ever job and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. I took a backwards step and a pay cut but ended up in a company where, through a stroke of luck, I was able to work my way up through the company a bit quicker than normally would have been the case. Hope all works out for you and I think the great outlook you have taken on the matter will stand you in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
