Breaking news out of London.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had been diagnosed with Wuhan coronavirus 10 days ago and was hospitalized yesterday, has just been moved into intensive care.

No. 10 Downing Street announced the distressing news just now. They noted he had been taken to St. Thomas’s Hospital yesterday. Then it was said he was being hospitalized as a precaution. Now, they’ve said his condition had gotten worse.

“Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. He asked the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise him where necessary,” the announcement said.

Johnson had tweeted earlier, presumably before things worsened, thanking the NHS for taking care of him.
