Highly unlikely that the UK is going to lets its Prime Minister die. Most people that do develop severe symptoms can recover with treatment, treatment that Boris Johnson is certainly going to get. 

@DrMacintosh he can run, but he cant hide

you should see my AWP skills in cs:go, he can't avoid that

@DrMacintosh it's not a matter of "let", they can only do so much.  After a certain point, people can and do still die, even given all the healthcare in the world.  Modern doctors are amazing but not yet gods.

I mean, COVID-19s biggest threat is your lungs becoming non functional. As long as you’re on a ventilator and being monitored your probably fine. 
 

Most deaths from COVID-19 come from lack of proper care or underlying conditions.

Mr Johnson is not known to have any underlying health conditions.

However, he has been open about his struggle with obesity in the past.

Obesity has been categorised as one of the risk factors for coronavirus.

welp, look at that

I mean, it makes sense. He’s pretty phat. Ate 7 too many biggie mackies in his day. 

On one hand I hope he makes it. On the other I consider this just desserts for cutting what I think was 30000 nurses from NHS hospitals.
