LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved out of intensive care, his office said Thursday.

In a statement, a spokesman at 10, Downing Street said Johnson “has been moved this evening from intensive care back to the ward, where he will receive close monitoring during the early phase of his recovery.”

Johnson had been in intensive care for three days after his symptoms for coronavirus worsened. He tested positive for the virus two weeks ago and at first had only “mild” symptoms.

    Good for him.

    I wish him good health, and that he takes this experience to heart and it makes an impact on his policy decisions going forward. It would make him a better leader.

  2. Johnson, belatedly, grasped the seriousness of the pandemic. He no doubt totally grasps it now. In the United States of America, we are plagued with a president, an administration, and a party controlling the Senate that does not grasp the situation at all. Indeed, for the president, it is just another platform on which to practice and parade his malignant narcissistic personality disorder.

    I wonder how he would have fared “in hospital” if he was Joe Schmoe instead of BoJo?

  4. Glad he is out of ICU…

    His recovery must be attributed to his idol sending over to him those MUCH NEEDED 200 ventilators!

    British Trump…Can US have those ventilators back please?

  5. He’d still be leaving hospital, but with a toe tag…
