Do You Believe That .....

[Barsel]

Boris Johnson is on a general ward as reported? Surely he would be in a private side room?

[naomi24]

General wards do have side rooms. I think he's in one of those.

[woofgang]

Wards nowadays are not like the old nightingale wards but divided into bays.

[sanmac]

I would think that he would be in a private room. After all, he is the PM and should get preferential treatment.

[naomi24]

Our local hospital has bays with about four beds in on one side of the corridor and single rooms, bathrooms, and staff desks on the other side.

[Buenchico]

Some wards have individual rooms included within them, so it's poosible to be 'on a ward' and 'in a room' at one and the same time. For example, I was on Stowupland Ward at Ipswich Hospital for my prostate of three months ago but actually located in a room on my own.

[ummmm]

Ward is just a general name.

[Barsel]

With it saying General Ward, I thought that meant with other patients. My local hospital has 4 beds in each ward but there are sidewards off the corridor (some I believe have en-suite) and a door you can close. I expect he is in something like that.

[Arksided]

I wish him well whatever ward he's in.

[ummmm]

He needs to be isolated so would have to be in a side room. He is the PM after all...

[rockyracoon]

He'll have his own room, imagine the security that might need to be with him.

[Theland]

A chance for him to meet the people.

[Old_Geezer]

He doesn't need security. He's wearing a mask !

[douglas9401]

Albeit a different to the one he'll don when the bill comes due.

[Canary42]

He should be isolated, so if he's in a general ward this is a mistake as it only serves to lend credence to the conspiracy theorists who are claiming his illness is a hoax, which is the last thing we want.
