As UK fights coronavirus, Johnson in intensive care

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson - one of the best known figures in the land - is now stricken with Covid-19.

Boris Johnson was moved into an intensive care unit at 7pm this evening after his condition deteriorated. The London Times newspaper reported that the prime minister received oxygen treatment when he arrived in St Thomas' yesterday evening.Tonight the BBC reported that Mr Johnson was given oxygen before being taken to the Intensive Care Unit.

When he was taken to hospital yesterday, Mr Johnson asked Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, to take charge of running the cabinet, and in particular the daily Covid-19 sub committee. Indeed, if he is in an intensive care unit he shouldn't even try to do any part of the job: his focus now must be his own health.Officially the cabinet takes collective decisions, and the prime minster is "first among equals", so in theory the other ministers should just get on with the job.

Can not believe RTE blamed the fact that men smoke more than women for the reason why more than twice as many men than women are dying of Covid-19. When the reality is that there is about a 3% diff between men and women who smoke.
