Just read that Boris Johnson (UK Prime Minister)
has been put into ICU with covid-19.

He had previously been admitted to the hospital for treatment.

That's some bad news.

Yes. Less than half of the ICU cases are coming out alive and his age
is not in his favor.

Reports I've read/heard is that he is not on a ventilator or even on
oxygen ..but they are available if his condition further deteriorates.

Don't know what the survival rate is for patients who require ICU care
but are not put on ventilator.

My guess is they are taking every precaution due to his position.

I agree.
