    Not good.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52177125

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for tests, 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus, Downing Street has said.
    He was taken to a London hospital on Sunday evening with "persistent symptoms" - including a temperature.
    It is said to be a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor.
    The prime minister remains in charge of the government, but the foreign secretary is expected to chair a coronavirus meeting on Monday morning.
    Mr Johnson is expected to stay overnight and is having what have been described as "routine tests", according to BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.
    In a statement, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: "On the advice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to hospital for tests.
    "This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus."
    She added: "The prime minister thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the government's advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives."

    If a funeral became necessary, would anyone go?

    A sitting PM and possibly no ceremony.

      It's from the Guardian, but still:

      "The Guardian was told last week that Johnson was more seriously ill than either he or his officials were prepared to admit, and that he was being seen by doctors who were concerned about his breathing."

        Apparently, he's been moved into intensive care

        Boris moved to ICU

        I was only joking

              What a nightmare for his fiance, who is pregnant and probably besieged by scumbag journalists.

                  Latest BBC piece says he’s on O2 but no vent.

                      They should keep him in ICU until he is COVID-19 free. There are enough cases of recovery then sudden reversals that they need to be extremely careful.

                        I'm sure they are being quite careful with him.

                          I’m sure his home care has better staff to patient ratio than any ICU any of us would ever be in.

                            I wonder if they have a ventilator and/or ECMO machine at 10 Downing.

                              Ecmo outside of a hospital setting seems really unlikely.

                              I wonder if he’s still on O2
