According to The Times (yeah, I know) 80% of people admitted to IC don't make it out.

I see a number from the CDC that is 80%... 80% of ICU fatalities due to Coronavirus are 65 and over. Nothing else similar.

I believe it was 48% of those who specifically get intubated go on to die. I forget which country specifically cited those outcomes, but high figures like 80% have been strictly anecdotal.

Not all people who go into IC are being intubated, but it is a very large portion of them.

I've heard numbers more closer to 50%, but it's still bad. I didn't expect his condition to worsen.

Thanks for fact checking guys. 80% did seem quite high when I heard it.

Didn't mean to scaremonger.

I keep thinking famous people getting it is not actually true, and is just a way to get people to take this seriously. Part of me realizes that's crazy

Boris Johnson dying from coronavirus would be the most fitting symbolic end to Brexit, all things considered

Its 50% as others have said.

I strongly dislike and disagree with Boris Johnson but I really hope he pulls through, nobody deserves this. To add to that, if he dies Dominic Raab becomes acting PM and he is even worse and even more out of his depth.

You're not wrong, but if anybody deserves it, it's somebody who suggested intentionally letting an entire nation get sick at the same time resulting in millions of people being unable to get the intensive care he's receiving now
