British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 55, was admitted to the hospital on Sunday on the advice of his medical doctor. Johnson has reportedly suffered from persistent symptoms related to the Wuhan coronavirus since testing positive for the virus back on March 27th. 

A spokesperson for the prime minister said Johnson's hospital admission was a precautionary measure rather than an emergency one. 

"This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus 10 days after testing positive for the virus. The prime minister thanks [National Health Service] 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," the spokesperson said. 

Thank you to everyone who is saving lives by staying at home this weekend.

I know it's tough, but if we all work together and follow the guidance we will beat #coronavirus.#StayHomeSaveLives— Boris Johnson #StayHomeSaveLives (@BorisJohnson) April 5, 2020

While self-isolating, Johnson has continued to lead the British government's response to the Wuhan coronavirus. British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is set to become acting prime minister if Johnson is no longer able to carry out his duties.

My question is Boris getting the best care? Maybe, maybe not. The plasma / non FDA approved (yet) anti vital treatments may not be available outside a Hospital environment???

Any chance that he was attacked with some firm of poison or concentrated vial of Coronavirus?

EU does not want Britain to leave and killing Boris could have a detrimental effect to that.

“British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is set to become acting prime minister if Johnson is no longer able to carry out his duties.”

Great! At least the Brits know their country will be in good hands. / sarc

This is not a good sign. Let’s hope the overweight PM can rally himself as his fellow Brit the Diamond Princess passenger did. I’m sure President Trump is staying in contact.
