But it was plain from the PM's most recent video appearance, last Friday, that he was struggling to throw off the virus - and he was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital in London on Sunday evening.
Mr Johnson has now spent a third night in hospital - and since a large part of the 55-year-old's stay has been spent in intensive care, Mr Raab's claim that Mr Johnson will soon be back leading the government's fight against coronavirus looks optimistic. Prompting alarm among Tory MPs, medical experts are claiming Mr Johnson may be off work for at least a month, and his recovery from the shock of a spell in intensive care may last until the summer.Professor Paul Hunter, an expert in infectious diseases at the University of East Anglia, told the Daily Mail:"If you have been sick enough to go on intensive care and you survive - and only about half of patients survive - clearly you will need some time to recover.
"I would expect most people who were that ill, to need at least a month or possibly two to be sufficiently back and to be able to function.
"A period of inactivity will have an effect on physical function, typically characterised by a loss in muscle mass and strength. It depends on how bad the duration and magnitude of illness was and it also depends on the quality and amount of time invested in rehabilitation."
No there isn’t. Why are you making shit up?
Iceman_cometh1 Power vacuum? That sucks
What a ridiculous and scaremongering headline this is. Which part of the word 'deputise' do your team not understand. Dominic Raab is deputising (look it up) then do us all a favour and pull the plug on your awful 'news' reports. irrelevantMSM
This just speculation and almost could be construed as fake news. Get a grip Sky news and try being constructive and not decisive
Non story sky you shower
slynews Source?
Unnecessary headline and report trying to further raise people's paranoia levels, I expect better from so called journalists and editors at this time.
The media are pathetic. Inane questions at the daily news brief. DominicRaab told you who was in charge and that government was continuing but that’s not good enough for the media. I wish we could vote certain reporters out of office! 😂😂
Will media STOP making matters worse!! This is a very difficult situation, common sense, you cannot give exact dates for testing targets to be met. So many factors can influence the progress of testing. Journalists asks the same stupid questions every day.
That’s it I can’t read this crap anymore you guts are just pathetic & like the BBCWorld just serve no purpose or good
Typical Tories shouldn’t it be the Home Secretary in charge not the Foreign Secretary...weird...? What’s wrong with Pretty Patel for the role 🤔🤔🤔
“Some MPs are calling for a caretaker prime minister to be appointed” - NAME THEM AND NAME THEIR PARTY - typical lazy journalism from Sky News.
A completely unfair article. Stirring up division where none exists. There is no so called vacuum of power.
Stay classy sky.....🙄
Is it only the press making these claims? Don’t you think there are protocols in place in case there was a sudden death of a prime minister?it’s a non story.
Typical Sky News rubbish!
Sky 'news' continuing to make up any old bullshit that they can report on.
Who is claiming there's a power vacuum? Hestletine? Why didn't they ask me about it? Or my dad? I mean, he's been dead 20 years, but it's about as much use as asking Hestletine, innit?
Did you just make this story up .... jeez when will the media learn
Bullshit! It's only been one day! Typical sky news click bait....
Err... the power vacuum sounds like Dyson sent the wrong prototype to Boris' ward.
BorisJohnson We need to stop contributions to world Health Organisation China has got them in its pocket, we cannot trust them anymore. Corruption
What a joke. You are trying to make easy stories “power” and “lift the lockdown” because you can’t be bothered to cover difficult stories. Poor, lazy and inappropriate journalism - you are being found wanting daily.
Happy that I cancelled my sky subscription, pitty I can't do the same for BBC news, more that die the better you you seem to like it.
Sky trying to undermine an elected government, who's pulling your strings ? Dark forces at work here.
Msm really has nothing to do right now huh?
Priti Patel should lead
Sky news your suppose report the news not make up the news. Your the TV version of The Sun.
Give us a harsher lock down. It’s needed for about 3 months. Help us save lives
If you want FakeNews Sky's your man!
SKY trying their pathetic best to stir up trouble with blatant lies. Unfortunately for them, the majority of people see straight through the bullsh1t
Who’s claiming this power vacuum? Ah yes the press! Nobody else thinks it exists.
Is it just me or are these guys getting worse!? 🤪
all this mud stirring is because they are trying to push the government to end the lockdown. Well, be careful what you wish for, too soon and deaths will explode, and we will make Italy and Spain numbers look good in comparison to what will come here. Stop it
Whos claiming that, you adamboultonSKY BethRigby
FakeNews
Well they are some of the most powerful men and women in the country so that's surely a natural occurrence anyways despite the PMs current health battle.
Who is making these 'claims' except you lot in the media? The rest of us are largely getting on with it and accept that we have a Cabinet system, not a Presidential one, and it's worked pretty well since the days of George I. How about some real news?
Just give it Giggs until Boris is better
Mr Raab could not have made it clearer. The cabinet then him as he is deputising the clue is in the word. This pandemic would be a lot more tolerable if not for you and the written press asking stupid demoralising and repetitive questions.
Sky has no chill man. Seriously.
Is it a result of 5G & CoronaVirus
Well I thought boris Johnson wernt to bad surely he can answer a couple of questions or is he as bad as they are making out
All the media but especially SKY are making themselves look absolutely ridiculous and moronic. This article proves this.
The media just want an issue because there's nothing else to report on.
keep your family immune system strong.--
The Media are obscene, particularly the Television Media. At this time all people want from them is some gravitas. And some sympathy and support for our Prime Minister.
