'Today 300 new ventilators arrived from China... I'd like to thank the Chinese government' Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove says the UK government has been 'working to increase ventilator capacity across the NHS'

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he will sign an executive order allowing medical students who are about to graduate to begin practising now, after a further 630 coronavirus deaths were reported in the state. That is the biggest daily increase so far in the state.Mr Cuomo also thanked the Chinese government for donating 1,000 ventilators, due to arrive at New York City's JFK airport later on Saturday."I want this all to be over.

"This stresses this country, this state, in a way nothing else has, frankly, in my lifetime. The economy is stressed, social fabric is stressed. It's right across the board." Mr Cuomo said that it was taking its toll on people and communities."You can't even begin to quantify the effect on society and the effect on individuals and the burden that we're dealing with."

: I urtuuh

Private care will see her through.....don't worry

I wonder what else you might catch from you know who.

Esta conquista vou através de uma dupla faça interesse financeiro ao dinheiro público perante o mundo e toda a sociedade que esses dois ordinário usavam como faz para se promover como dois casal perfeito perante a vida e a trajetória das pessoas a qual não respeita

Glad she is OK but can't help compare to two nurses I know who are pregnant and still having to go to work and have no choice in when they or their colleagues will be tested. Nice she can rest in bed probably with staff...different world !

Why isn't she being tested. Why are they still using podiums, re virus,instead of conference calls? Why did they not stay further apart in Westminster. Yes I know camera angles distort. But they were close. It is hypocritcal to ask the people to do it if you don't yourself.

Jackanory Jackanory 🙄😴

Why is this news ? People are dying everyday of coronavirus, but she gets the focus of attention as she is the mistress of the PM.

Take care Carrie. ❤

Before we get all dewy eyed about the lovely pretty mummy to be, remember that this piece of work ran off with Johnson while his wife was fighting cancer of the cervix. She might like to think of that while she is trying push Johnson's latest baby through hers.

Surely the sensible thing to do is test

Feel more sorry for her having to spend time in bed with Boris tbf.If true wish her & baby well but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s ploy for Bojo to lay low for longer as death toll rises. Cynical ? Maybe, but Govt. and truth strangers to one another

What difference does it make if she has been tested? She has been ill with the symptoms. Testing doesn't change that. Too much nonsense about testing. If she gets tested, will it make the symptoms go away? No.

Wish you and Boris all the best god bless..💛

And we are supposed to believe the PM's pregnant (!) fiancée wasn't tested, even though Boris J. is positive...Yeah right 🙄🙄🙄

Hope she gets well soon - must be very worrying when you are pregnant! Boris looks shattered - feel for you both!

If the PM’s pregnant fiancée can’t get a test what chance have the rest of us got?!

I hope they are both ok,but I don’t believe she’s not bn tested.

That was a quick recovery

Go to hospital for treatment, don't just stay at home.

Don’t believe

BBCPolitics WTF? Heartless piece of shit PM allows pregnant fiancée to guess it's his Covid19 keeping her in bed and unwell for a week? Still, he has lost count of how many he's fathered, so is incompetent at best and malicious towards those that lent Tory candidates their votes just once.

That's what happens when you spend too much time together. No doubt Boris has got it in hand like everything else

Post only up for an hour an already the lefty meltdown brigade spouting their bekind style of politics.

Hasn't been tested my arse 🤣🤣

Keep SAFE❗

Is she dead? No thankfully but 3000+ people are and many more are in a serious conditions. If anyone is getting my sympathy it will be these people. This is not news.

God bless her

Ooh please those phrases steer wide open for interpretation.... Snigger snigger

did her DOG go for d a i l y SELF w a l k i e s ?

Why is this news?

Wonder how she caught that! Couldn't be from some oaf that insisted he would continue shaking hands with virus sufferers by any chance. Proof +ve he had no idea of what we were facing.

geraldi23591291 I don't wish any ill on either of them or their baby, I just don't believe them.

I hope she gets well soon, and that she stays off his f*****g laptop.

Look after yourself rest and hurry back we need you only when you have recovered.

Why thank the Chinese government fir creating the fecking issue in the first place FFS

Hope she and her baby keep safe

He tested himself but not his pregnant missus?! New low for the thatch-headed disaster merchant.

May they feel better soon

Who really gives a fuck?

No testing, no confirm case.

The prime minister his fiancee and everyone stay safe and only listen to the government guidelines for advice

Lies!!

Sympathy card.

I do not share her or her Fiance's politics, far from it. However I hope she gets well soon.

I didn't know bestiality was legal in England. I hope the baby looks like her :D

Poor girl. That’s scary for her .

They're not married so technically she's just a pregnant bit of.....

Why get tested if on the mend

'On the mend' so she's not bothered with test then!?

Hope shes ok,but shes deffo been tested.

You'll get some dickheads on here disputing it because she hasn't been tested. If she had these same people would have demanding to know why she qualified for testing.

Hope that both Carrie and her baby are safe and well, despite the Covid-19 virus. And to anyone who has applauded or posted derogatory comments about this sad situation, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Spaffer Bozos need for sympathy really has now fathomed the depths of depravity. Sick Cummings game play.

Get her tested. I don’t care what the armchair commentators on here say.

Glad she's on the mend.

Imagine, if you're not tested how do you know if you carry the virus? Should you just go out after 14 days without being tested? This is the incompetence I find weird with this govt and that the media supporting this govt keep ignoring probably on purpose. 🤷‍♂️

Not buying it

Have a speedy recovery!

Labour voter here to say, I hope Boris' child isn't ill or dies from COVID complications that would be devastating for him. Poor lad.

F^*k it. And f^*k the companies that moved all manufacturing offshore to China. Reckoning will be here.

How stupid is that. Crazy

Yes, aren't we *so* grateful fotlr *ALL* they've given us lately! NOT!!!!!!! Stop Huawei's invvement in our country, in any way, now!!!!!!!!

傻屄乌泱乌泱的

Oh yeah we all thanking China alright 🙄😷😵

We’re all human beings we need unity not division

Extraordinary. Plenty of things going on right now that we won’t ever thank them for.

CHINA LIED, PEOPLE DIED.

Stop boasting about what you should have done weeks ago. The uk was well ahead in the game yet we are only ordering stuff now & NHS staff are under protected that they are falling ill and dying! Please think ahead! BorisJohnson MattHancock DHSCgovuk

How many millions were given to Dyson for ventilators to be made in China. Hopefully now the government will see the need for a post brexit industrial strategy.

Sounds like a small price to pay for decimating all of humanity. Have we also thanked the worlds largest authoritarian regime for allowing yet another virus to cross over into the human population from one of their disgusting animal markets. No? Allow me - thanks China :)

Send them back?

I think we'll need a few more... .

So that's 330 pf the 30000 then I'd laugh but their incompetence is going to kill people.

They've probably got a built in infection.

a lot of people said it started in China,we all knew that alright,we thought it must be ended in China,too because the westerns are more clever and developed and more prepared,right? but guess what, no prepare,not clever,not enough supplies and hospital, definitely not developed

Politely,you should say “Thank you” to China, but don't forget the fact is ……

Only 300 ventilators can buy one country dignity, even though they create the catastrophe then acting as 'world saver'. Hopefully,I think all British can have awareness of lacking basic manufacturing capacity will not only endanger national security but demean country soul.

That is why we need to thank you China They output virus and medical, then we thank you, that all ChinaLiedPeopleDie ChinaVirus COVID2019 ChinaMustPay

Are they safe and uncontaminated?

What will trump say though?

How about some oxygen

quinlateefa tell me stop tagging you under every ventilator tweets oh 😂

Er shouldn’t we be vetoing anything that comes from China?!? After all, they caused the pandemic in the first place! God knows how reliable their medical equipment are! michaelgove

Erm... yeah... em... thanks .. eh .. China 😐

Don’t trust China!!!

Least they can do

why thank the fucking Chinese authorities their the fuckers who started this shit ….. I am not saying Chinese people they are as innocent as the rest of us

We should have nothing fromChina again!!! They’re probably faulty! We have shown we can be self sufficient.

Well, British people kneel down begging for the mercy of our Emperor Xi Jinping as well. Brilliant

A week ago my friend in China offered 1,000 ventilators at $25,000 each for immediate delivery. Falling on deaf ears.

I'm very amazed Britain has to rely on China for ventilators. Can't any British manufacturing company go into manufacturing of ventilators. Britain seems to have sold its birthright. Britain and all countries should rethink sourcing of supplies after this pandemic.

Foolish is always foolish

Always the same bull with Gove

f***k china they start this virus and keep under the blanket

You better check that they work all you get from that country is fake .

Ventilator numbers should be in the 1000s

Thank the Chinese government?

It's like somebody stabbing you in the chest then giving you a plaster to put on the wound

Prof Allyson Pollock,”We’ve lost nearly two months in getting on top of this epidemic that’s what the scandal is really. Clearly we don’t have the capacity to do contact tracing but we can train volunteers and combine that with mobile phone apps as in Singapore and South Korea”

bbc5live Probably fall apart after an hour

How the fuck can China supply us, before our own British made ventilator companies can be made?

Even the UK got ventilators from China. Why can't Nigeria ask for some from elonmusk?

New York got 1000 !!!!

Firstly I would check they work. Secondly...........................and so they should, they started it.

the fucking Chinese government, who have polluted the world & unleashed this virus, they are solely responsible

Change of tone I see. First he accused China of not being forthright with the seriousness of the virus despite their extreme efforts in battling it. Now that the UK got some supplies it’s all ‘we’re friends again’

bbc5live We should not be thanking totalitarian regimes. In any capacity whatsoever.

This is the proof that China has achieved gaining power over British govt through WMD Corona. Govt is happy to accept those ventilators but yet do not want to support the British efforts towards patriotism and loyalty

Hans Brinker is alive

I'd double check them and triple test them...just in case..😏

I hope it was a sarcastic thank you...It’s like a window salesman throwing a brick through you window and then ringing your doorbell to ask if you want it fixed.

Probably all duds.

Thanking them? They're the ones who caused all this. We wouldn't be needing fucking ventilators!

Yeah, it’s the least they could do really isn’t it...

bbc5live That’s the least they could do I suppose..

bbc5live Have they got to be quarantined ?

Is that some kind of dark humour? Thank the government who’s actions are responsible for a global pandemic? Got to be a joke, surely.

He should make sure they work first

thank china for all the deaths that's about all

Don’t we need 30,000 extra So we’re now on 330 extra

💪💗

5g nonsense eh?

BBCPolitics china sets your country on fire with a pandemic then offers you half a cup of water to put it out and you thank them? Am I the only one confused by this?

China? China tried to hide this from the world

Sums up these updates and the participants.

Why didn't this Tory Government take the ventilators made by GTech in Worcestershire. need to hold this Government to account!

So we're up to what 8330 When you told us we had 12000 2 weeks ago? 🤔

Chinese ventilators 😩. Be as good as the products they flog us then!

300?😂😂 probably don’t even work ffs

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

probably all faulty

Wait, we trust China. After they started all this?!?!

Hope they work.

Can you retweet or get this to someone who can act on this and adopt this method of ventilating 7 people with a single ventilator !
