Has to be serious for such a high profile government official to have to be treated at a hospital

How surprising...Thought that they might treat him at the Shell station.Comment -
we will pray for him...Comment -
Hopefully not but i think he is in trouble big timeComment -
Silly statement. He has the best doctors to treat him privately. Would not be admitted to a hospital unless it was really serious i.e. needing access to ICUOriginally posted by 19th HoleComment -
Oh silly silly...
it's obvious the disease has progressed.Comment -
If he is on a ventilator isn't it something like 80% chance of dying?
Maybe this is why Justin Trudeau has been in hiding alone for a month. Too risky to go out anywhere right now.Comment -

Ventilators Are No Panacea For Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients
HEALTH NEWS FROM NPR
Most coronavirus patients who end up on ventilators go on to die, according to several small studies from the U.S., China and Europe.
And many of the patients who continue to live can't be taken off the mechanical breathing machines.
"It's very concerning to see how many patients who require ventilation do not make it out of the hospital," says Dr. Tiffany Osborn, a critical care specialist at Washington University in St. Louis who has been caring for coronavirus patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
That concern is echoed by Negin Hajizadeh, a pulmonary critical care doctor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell on Long Island, N.Y.
"We have had several patients between the hospitals across the Northwell system that have come off the breathing machine," Hajizadeh says. "But the vast majority are unable to."
The largest study so far to look at mortality among coronavirus patients on ventilators was done by the Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre in London. It found that among 98 ventilated patients in the U.K., just 33 were discharged alive.
The numbers from a study of Wuhan, China, are even grimmer. Only 3 of 22 ventilated patients survived.
And a study of 18 ventilated patients in Washington state found that nine were still alive when the study ended, but only six had recovered enough to breathe on their own.
All the early research suggests that once coronavirus patients are placed on a ventilator, they will probably need to stay on it for weeks. And the longer patients remain on a breathing machine, the more likely they are to die.
"We're not sure how much help ventilators are going to be," Osborn says. "They may help keep somebody alive in the short term. We're not sure if it's going to help keep someone alive in the long term."
Patients need a ventilator when their lungs can no longer deliver enough oxygen to keep the body going. And it's an extreme measure, Osborn says.
"We give sedation so the person goes to sleep. Then we provide a paralytic that stops their breathing," she says.
Next, a long plastic tube is inserted through the trachea and vocal cords. That allows a machine to deliver small puffs of highly oxygenated air to the lungs.
Unfortunately, Osborn says, "the ventilator itself can do damage to the lung tissue based on how much pressure is required to help oxygen get processed by the lungs."
And coronavirus patients often need dangerously high levels of both pressure and oxygen because their lungs have so much inflammation.

Another risk from being on a ventilator is that the tube carrying air and extra oxygen to the lungs provides a pathway for dangerous germs. Many ventilated patients get a new lung infection, a problem known as ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Ventilators have been seen as critical to treating coronavirus patients because the devices are very successful when used to treat common forms of pneumonia, says Hajizadeh.

It's to show him using the NHS, and that he's not a hypocrite by being in charge of a public health care system but using private healthcare himself. He will essentially be receiving private healthcare as in the UK all the best doctors work in both sectors so he can be treated by the best while still receiving NHS treatment.Originally posted by asiagambler
All high profile politiicans and Royal family members do this for political reasons.
From media here it is simply precaitionary and he is still running Government. If he did die, you'd probably be surprised to learn a high percenbtage of people might celebrate it in the UK.Comment -
When Margaret Thatcher died lots of people celebrated. So no doubt the same despicable people would celebrate Boris Johnsons death.Originally posted by ichiro4thehallComment -

Idiot bragged about shaking hands with coronavirus patients. I don't mind if he dies. Might be a wake-up call to some and ultimately save more lives in the long run.

Unlikely since I'm not an idiot and I take precautions, both for myself and others. If more people did that countless lives would be saved. Guys like Boris and Trump are incredibly dangerousOriginally posted by DwightShruteComment -
