The survival rate on a ventilator is more like 5%.

That's overall for people put on ventilators, but here's a personal example of where that number comes from. My father suffered a massive heart attack a couple of years ago. EMTs defibbed his heart back to beating and got him to the hospital, where they put him on a ventilator and a dozen other machines. Two days later, after no improvement (and probably another heart attack) we took him off the life support. Now, as far as I'm concerned, he was dead when he hit the floor. The rest was just medical intervention that had an all-but-zero chance of delivering anything positive. But technically, he was on a ventilator and he later died. I assume this in not an uncommon scenario.

Do they have a VP or someone who takes over? Or is an election held ASAP?
Get well Boris!

If Boris dies, the ChiComs & globalists will have secured a major scalp for their aggression.

Dominic Raab would be caretaker PM and then a leadership vote for the conservative party.

James Delingpole said on Breitbart this morning that the NHS has said no one is to receive the Hydroxychlorquine and Zpack and that he was concerned for Boris Johnson’s health.

It won’t do any good to tell the NHS the treatment works in the USA, as they will treat him like that little boy they let died a few years ago...

There has been no specifics as to a ventilator yet.

Mr. Adjunct Professor of Medicine would have him on a Breathalyzer.

If I were Boris, I would have that private jet ready to take me to the U.S. pronto - Trump would get him the best care.

the NHS has killed so many over the years...

No, it’s close to 50/50 overall. But it’s much worse for those with serous pre-existing conditions.

RE: I wonder if they tried hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Zpack.

That drug combo has been known to work wonders for those who are in the early symptoms of the disease.

Unfortunately, for those already on ventilators, the Effectiveness of HCQ + Zpack is not well established :(

is Hydroxychlorquine and Zpack unsafe? I don’t understand why anyone is opposed.

Like, what is the downside?

(Or is it just that they don’t want to find a cure? Because Trump said this might work?)
