Now in intensive care.

reply

In intensive care even though he doesn't need to be in on a ventilator... I wonder if the illustrious nationalized healthcare in the UK puts everyone into an ICU room just in case they get worse... Yeah.. I think we know the answer to that. Most people are probably only put into an ICU when they can't breath and then only if their death panels decides to waste a few quid on them.

WTF

reply

Go look at the reports. His own doctors said he didn't need to be in an ICU bed but they were putting him in one just in case he got worse. Why should that fat fuck get special treatment when he was part of the reason the country is fucked by the virus. He should have shut down the border in January but he didn't and now people are dying and he is getting special treatment. The people in the UK should be saying what the fuck.

reply

Yeah, it's one thing to comment on Boris, but you were making sweeping generalizations about a health system that you seem not to know anything about. That's what the WTF was for.

reply

Well his special treatment while the general population die is a reflection of the system. He should have been treated like everyone else, left in a lobby for half a day and not given the time of day unless he couldn't breath on his own.

reply

He's the Prime Minister you fucking idiot. Of course he's going to get special treatment.

reply

Seriously. I think they still close down entire wings of hospitals when Presidents get sick.

reply

So what. His life is no more important than the the random man or woman on the street. If the politicians were treated the same as everyone else they would never let a healthcare system they depended on turn to shit or become underfunded but when they know they get to skip ahead of the line then they don't care anymore what happens to the rest of the people using it.

His life IS more important than the random man.
Stop talking shit.

reply

All life is priceless and if you don't understand that basic concept then you are an idiot.

reply

so you dont like him then?
His life IS more important than the random man because lots of other lives depend on him , like it or not, unlike , say , you.

Yes i know another faceless politician will step in to take over , but even just that transition will probably cost many lives .

Also He is properly ill - they were talking about force feeding him oxygenm at above atmospherioc pressure , like some sort of turbo.

Also he's not getting special treatment - many people are in ICU , many are dieing there.

reply

You admit he is replaceable. Then he deserves no special treatment. And yes he is given treatment above and beyond what others get. He was moved into an ICU bed when he arrived just in case he needed a ventilator... What does that mean for the person that really needs an ICU bed but can't get it, it means they are more likely to die.

And no, lives would not be lost if he died. He isn't a doctor helping people so he does nothing to save lives.

reply

I do understand that. I also understand that some people are more important than others.
Get over it

reply

More than some people, I'd say some positions. A former prime minister that is retired and living in the countryside should have the same priority than any other citizen.

However, the current prime minister should have the highest priority. Not because of the person, but because of his position.

reply

Agreed

Get well soon.
