Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

Johnson has been taken to Intensive Care

Boris is intensive care - breaking news!!

Christ deteriorated quickly

Bidding Boris a full recovery.
He is in the best of care I'm sure.

geez ... I understand that not many people have come out of ICU

This virus is getting more worrying by the day. A month ago we were told only the elderly and those with serious underlying conditions were at serious risk. Now it seems no one is safe.

Requires no words really.....

Ummm who did you hear this from ? As far as I recall no experts or doctors were saying this, it's a deadly infection and can be lethal for anyone who contracts it, no matter their age, as had been stated from the beginning, unless people in Britain were being told something different to us in Ireland.

Me too, Even though I’m not a fan of the conservatives

Well. Based on what NY city surgeons are dealing with. If Boris gets to the point where he needs a ventilator, only about 15% of those are coming off them alive in NY.

Boris's symptoms also fall in line with what they have been seeing happen to patients.

All it looks like Covid-19 needs to kill you is, being in your 50's and being slightly overweight. Which is pretty concerning in America.

Here's a recent interview with a NY surgeon as they are dealing with their outbreak.
