Anyway she was blond beautiful & fabulous but now no more; 94 is a good age RIP Honor.
Johnson taken in to Intensive care. This is not looking good. Much as I dislike him I wouldn't wish that on him or anybody.
Not being ventilated at the moment according to news reports. A serious development though. I hope supa is now at home.
While I don't have any time for Boris Johnson, I don't wish him ill, well not at this time anyway.
But I have a gut feeling that this isn't going to end well; ITU means that he isn't running the show and is probably on oxygen.
They really need to take note of Tony Blair and get on top of the logistics of mass testing, that is the only way out.
Otherwise there could be mass civil disobedience if we have a hot spring, and people cramped together in flats and terraced houses see no end to the lock down.

I'm dubious given the false upbeat reports only hours ago.
Daft bu88er should have gone to bed like any sensible person with a fever would have done.
Get well soon Boris, soft lad.
Wouldn’t have made any difference Scouse. For reasons which are unclear some people get it bad. Most of them still get over it so let’s hope for that.
From what I have read your chance of survival depends on two things. First your general health and secondly even if you are healthy the response of your immune system. With some it over reacts to the virus causing fluid to build up in lungs which leads to pneumonia and multiple organ failure. The survival rate of those who are put in intensive care is quite low. Even though the mortality rate of Covid 19 is low (anything from 0.5 to 2.5%) it is unpredictable.
Spart it depends. There is a difference between those admitted to ITU who need ventilating and those who don’t. Of those who are ventilated, if they get Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) then the outlook is poor. This is when the lungs get severely damaged, often irreparably. Viral pneumonia can be nasty and there is no specific treatment, just supportive and hope it gets better. But there are plenty who have had Coronavirus pneumonia and recovered with oxygen and time. It doesn’t sound great that there seems to have been quite a quick deterioration over the course of today but perhaps they are being cautious, or else getting him in a ITU bed while there is still one in London available.
I can see why the herd immunity idea was quickly shelved. You would have to be very heartless to allow people to die. The guy in Brazil is still quite keen on it.
Hi Vidal and rest of the crew, yes back at home, still struggling with breathing, but just isolating and trying to rest, anyone that’s not been a witness to this horrible virus, when it hits you, it really takes you down,
Any way lads stay safe!!!!

Good to see you back Supa
Thanks for letting us know, really pleased that you seem over the worst.
Good lad supa
Re herd immunity, there may be no alternative. It’s unlikely that there will be any specific treatment no matter what Trump may say about chloroquine (and he has a financial stake in a company that produces it, can you believe it?). Nor is it likely that there will be a vaccine until some time next year. So it may be the case that nearly everybody will become infected at some point and that the lockdown is simply slowing it down.
But it’s also possible that much of the herd is already immune. We don’t know whether those admitted to hospital are just a small proportion of those infected. It might be the case that the flattening off of deaths around the world is an indicator that it has ripped its way through a large chunk of the population, with a reducing reservoir of non-immune individuals still to be reached. Until we see what happens when lockdowns are relaxed, or are able to test immunity in the wider population, we won’t know. China and South Korea have not seen “second waves”.
My mate was really ill in early December with flu and breathing difficulties. He had been congregating with a large group of lads who had just returned from the Macau Grand Prix just before he got poorly. He's wondering if he may have had it?
Great to hear you are home on on the mend Supa.
Great to have you back Supa. You will be immune for the near future so no need to social distance, a small consolation for your suffering. China hasn't recorded any new infections this week. It took around 4 months to get to this point. If we follow the same trend than we should be fine by July, fingers crossed.
I noticed that some epidemiologists are saying that closing schools was a mistake as children were highly unlikely to get anything but a mild infection but of course the children have teachers and the children go home.
Children nearly all get mild or no symptoms. The evidence suggests that they are also not very infectious. Parents of school-age children haven’t had a higher incidence of infection. Probably they develop immunity rapidly and don’t shed the virus in significant quantities. So they probably aren’t significant vectors of the disease. School staff rooms and communal places could be though.
One of the main reasons postulated for the high death rates in Spain and Italy is that many households are multi generational, thus kids were mixing and coming home to infect grandad. Not such a problem in the UK where we abandon our grand parents.
Gove the latest to self isolate.
I wish him no harm, but the rest of the world rejoice.
Strange I find it hard to feel ant sympathy for Gove or his equally odious wife. Might be prejudice because he looks like the sneaky kid at school who always grassed you up with the teachers.
any not ant, Don't know what ant sympathy is other than a potential track for the alternative persona of Stuart Goddard.

That's great news, supa
2 items of footy (remember that?) news. Chelsea rumoured to have Max Bird on their shopping list for the summer. What would be a fair price? 20 million and loan him back for a season? Also talk of the entire Championship going into collective administration with cancellation of all contracts. The plan would then be that the owners all agree to buy the clubs back again and there would be agreement that clubs wouldn’t poach other clubs’ players. It might be a cheeky way of wiping out debt. Could it work?
Mornin' Vidal - hope all is good on the Salop Medical Front
So, where/how did the Daily Mail source this story?
That sounds like genuine fake news, somebody has read that Debenhams are intending to do that.
Players on fat contracts need to take a pay cut simple as that, not the non playing staff.
They aren't playing or training so why should they keep drawing full wack?
