He is in the ICU because he is special, the Premier of the United Kingdom, breathing unassisted rather than he is in the ICU because he is in a serious to grave situation, ventilator....
I agree with the assessment of his doctors, special treatment person.
The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge have sent their best wishes to the PM and his family.

Yes. AFAIK typically a patient is receiving some assistance with their breathing while they're in ICU either through intubation or ventilation.

He has had the virus for over a week, which is a bad sign. However, he does not need a ventilator at this time. He is in the right place and hopefully will begin his recovery soon. Hoping to hear good news soon!
I now understand he has left the ICU and is steadily recovering. So relieved!
The current PM and Ms Symonds were married this morning in London at Westminster Cathedral.
Mail on Sunday Exclusive: Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds 'wed in secret' | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9632763/Boris-Johnson-Carrie-Symonds-wed-secret-Bank-Holiday-ceremony-Westminster-Cathedral.html)
QuoteBoris Johnson married girlfriend Carrie Symonds in a secret ceremony this morning, the Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Mr Johnson, 56, exchanged vows with Ms Symonds, 33, in Westminster Cathedral in front of a handful of close friends and family - becoming the first Prime Minister to marry in office since Lord Liverpool married Mary Chester in 1822.
It comes just six days after the couple - who became engaged on the Caribbean island of Mustique in December 2019 and have baby Wilfred, aged one - sent out save-the-date cards to guests telling them to keep Saturday, July 30, 2022 free for a marriage celebration.
Despite sending out the cards, the couple are understood to have been secretly planning the small ceremony for six months.
Under current Covid rules there is a limit of 30 guests at weddings - although the cap is expected to be lifted on June 21st - 'freedom day' - when most restrictions are expected to be lifted.
With Mr Johnson set to be back at work next week, it looks unlikely the couple will have a honeymoon The 30 guests were invited at the last minute, with only a handful of church officials were involved in the preparations for the service at 2pm today: armed police stood guard as visitors were ushered out half an hour earlier by staff who told them the building was going into lockdown,
Ms Symonds wore a white dress, without a veil, for the ceremony and walked down the aisle to the strains of classical music.
They kissed after exchanging their vows for Father Daniel Humphreys, who baptised Wilfred into the faith at the same cathedral last autumn.
Ms Symonds is a practising Catholic. Mr Johnson abandoned his mother's Catholicism and became an Anglican joining the Church of England while at Eton.

Westminster Cathedral? Again unusual for a British PM. I didn?t know that Carrie was a Roman Catholic. I?ve never read that much about her, to be honest, but their baby being baptised there should have given me a clue!
Honestly I was surprised too but even more so when I read that Boris had been raised as a Roman Catholic too but changed his denomination to CoE when he was attending Eton College.

I never knew that. I wonder if he did so for political reasons because years ago, a Roman C could not hold certain offices of state.. as far as I remember. Tony Blair was married to a RC and was sympathetic to the faith, but he did not "change over" till his political career was finished...
Glad to hear that Boris has married his lady and done so quietly.. its better than I expect of him....
They seem like an odd couple on so many levels, and both don't seem harmed by Boris and his massive marital baggage.

Charlotte Johnson-Wahl the mother of PM Boris Johnson has passed away at age 79.
Boris Johnson?s mother, Charlotte Johnson Wahl, dies at 79 | Boris Johnson | The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/13/boris-johnsons-mother-charlotte-johnson-wahl-dies-at-79)
QuoteCharlotte Johnson Wahl, the mother of the prime minister, has died at the age of 79.
The portrait painter passed away ?suddenly and peacefully? at a London hospital on Monday, the family said in a statement shared with the Daily Telegraph.
The prime minister has previously described his mother as the ?supreme authority? in the family. At his first Conservative party conference in 2019, Johnson said his mother had taught him ?the equal importance, the equal dignity, the equal worth of every human being on the planet?.
It's a girl! :flower3:
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie announce birth of a baby girl (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/uk-prime-minister-boris-johnson-wife-carrie-announce-birth-baby-girl-rcna8160)
QuoteLONDON ? British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's wife Carrie gave birth to a ?healthy baby girl? at a London hospital on Thursday morning, a spokeswoman for the couple said in a statement.
?Both mother and daughter are doing very well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all their care and support,? the spokeswoman said.
The baby is the couple?s second child together, after their son Wilfred was born in April 2020. They were married in May this year.
Johnson has been married twice before and declines to say how many children he has fathered. He had four children with his second wife, Marina Wheeler, a lawyer.
The happy personal news followed a dramatic day for the U.K. prime minister on Wednesday.
Johnson came under increasing pressure Wednesday to explain reports that his staff last year held a Christmas party that breached the country's coronavirus rules, when cases were rising and people across the country were banned from holding most types of gatherings. He ordered an inquiry Wednesday and said he was ?furious? about the situation.
hmmm. I wonder what they will call the kid. problaby something Victorian like Maud or Edith
@Amabel2 -Their daughter's name is Romy. :flower3:
Boris and Carrie Johnson share first pic of baby girl - and reveal unusual name - Mirror Online (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/breaking-boris-carrie-johnson-share-25714998)
QuoteBoris and Carrie Johnson have revealed the name of their baby daughter. Mrs Johnson revealed the pair's second child's full name as Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson.
On a visit to a vaccination centre earlier in the day, Mr Johnson spoke to a woman with a baby in a pram and revealed his daughter's name was Romy.
And posting on Instagram, Mrs Johnson revealed the other meanings behind the names. She said Romy was after her aunt Rosemary, while the couple had picked Iris from the Greek for rainbow.
This could be a reference to the fact Mrs Johnson previously spoke about having had a miscarriage and a baby born after a miscarriage, stillborn, or neonatal death is known as a rainbow baby.
The arrival of their newborn baby means the PM has at least seven children: Lara, Milo, Cassia and Theodore with ex-wife Marina Wheeler; Stephanie after an affair in 2009; and Wilfred and the new baby girl with Carrie.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson fighting to save leadership over Covid party scandal (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/uk-prime-minister-boris-johnson-fighting-premiership-covid-party-scand-rcna11886)
QuoteLONDON ? British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is fighting to defend his leadership as fresh reports he and his staff held parties during Covid lockdown sparked a growing storm of criticism from lawmakers, the media and bereaved families across the country.
Johnson apologized in the House of Commons on Wednesday for attending a ?bring your own booze? party in the garden of his Downing Street residence and office in May 2020, confirming reports that have led to intensifying calls for him to resign.
But his apology and explanation that he thought the gathering was a work event were met with incredulous jeers from opposition lawmakers.
Members of Johnson's own Conservative Party have also been openly critical, with some of Britain?s highly partisan newspapers turning on him too.
?I have learned enough to know there were things we simply did not get right and I must take responsibility," said Johnson, 57, during a highly-anticipated lunchtime showdown with lawmakers in Parliament. "With hindsight," he added, "I should have sent everyone back inside."

Downing Street announced last week that a member of his family had tested positive for the virus. It did not state who the relative was but it is understood to be his daughter Romy.
A source said she had suffered with the virus 'quite badly' aged five weeks but was now 'on the mend'.
A respiratory virus in a very young infant is terrifying so I am glad that she's recovering.
Yes indeed. Nobody would wish Covid, or especially a respiratory infection, on anyone let alone a baby.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak speaks out on protesters arrested at Coronation ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/coronation-2/prime-minister-rishi-sunak-speaks-out-on-protesters-arrested-at-coronation-189516/)
Quote
The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has defended the actions of the Metropolitan Police following the decision to arrest members of the anti-monarchy group, Republic, ahead of the Coronation.
The group?s leader Graham Smith was among the people arrested. He was later released, as were the other 64 people detained. The Metropolitan Police issued a statement saying they regretted the arrests as they had found no proof of intent to disrupt the Coronation.
However, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed his support for the police force and their actions, not just on May 6th 2023, but in the days before the Coronation, saying in part: ?Of course, people have the right to protest freely, but peacefully, but it is also right that people have the ability to go about their day-to-day lives without facing serious disruption. And what the government has done is give police the powers that they need to tackle instances of serious disruption to their lives.?
The Prime Minister is referencing a law passed just days before the Coronation, the Public Order Act, which allows officers to stop and search anyone they suspect is planning to cause disruption.
The Conservative government has defended the law, saying that people have been complaining about apparent inaction in the face of other protests by other groups that, over the last few weeks and months, have caused disruption to people?s daily lives.
Opposition parties have accused the government of undermining the United Kingdom?s ?basic tenets of a free and democratic society,? calling for the act to be scrapped.
Rishi Sunak told reporters that ?police will make decisions on when they use? the powers given to them by the Public Order Act.
Mr Sunak added: ?We also live in a society where the police are rightly operationally independent of government. They make the decisions on the ground in the way that they see fit. [?] It wouldn?t be right for me to interfere with their operational decision. But it is right for the government to give police the powers they need to tackle serious disruptions [?] but again those are operational decisions for the police on the ground at the time.?
