Russian News Agency Says Boris Johnson To Be On Ventilator For Coronavirus, U.K. Media Reports Hospitalization
Inquisitr ^ | April 5, 2020 | Jonathan Vankin

The British Prime Minister revealed his positive coronavirus test on March 27, but at the time described his symptoms as mild.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson was hospitalized on Sunday, nine days after revealing that he had tested positive for coronavirus, according to reports in the U.K. media. On March 27, when he announced his positive test, Johnson said that he was experiencing only mild symptoms. But according to a report from The Guardian, his hospitalization followed “days of rumors that his condition has been worsening.”

According to a source cited by a state-run Russian news agency, RIA-Novosti, Johnson’s condition is indeed considerably more serious than the British government is letting on.

In a report that has not been corroborated by British or U.S. media outlets, RIA Novosti claimed that Johnson was “urgently” hospitalized and will be placed on a ventilator.

The Russian news agency said that its source for the information was a person “close to the leadership of the national health system” in the U.K.

Any conspiracy theories out there yet that are probably true?

I don’t put anything past anyone anymore.

Probably not a conspiracy, but it wouldn’t knock me out of my chair.

One gal did once but that was a different situation.

Learning from the American media I see. Anonymous sources. Sources "close to the leadership"; "familiar with the situation"; etc., etc.

If true, it would be sad to learn he didn’t take hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin combination regimen.

With persistent fever Boris might be too healthy and is suffering “cytokine storm”.

A study published in Lancet showed 92% of patients on ventilators dying anyway. That’s 12 out of 13.

Along with high dosage zinc.
Hydroxychloroquine’s method of killing the virus is, it provides a path for zinc to enter the virus and the zinc prevents the virus from replicating.

Polonium 210 poisoning? Anthrax? He hung himself? Arkancide?

Jesus, I heard that only 1 of 10 who need a ventilator make it. Hopes and prayers for the PM.

Of course it’s a conspiracy. Everything else is.

Everything.

Boris doesnt strike me as a healthy person.

that story is interesting. Many people think they are recovering only to get hit again and be worse off.

Perhaps they think they are recovering because the fever is gone..but the cytokine storm is raging inside.

This is a scary disease. You just dont know how your body will react.

Boris could get oxygen at his home. No reason to go to the hospital unless they are worried he is about to crash.

The only place I am seeing the claim is from Russia.

We should know by tomorrow because Brits won’t be able to hide it much longer if true.
