Boris Expected to Return to Work Next Week After Recovering from Coronavirus
Breitbart, Apr 21, 2020

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to return to work next week following his recovery from Chinese coronavirus.

Prime Minister Johnson had caught the virus in March. After experiencing symptoms for ten days, Mr Johnson was admitted to Saint Thomas’ Hospital in London on April 5th, before being transferred to intensive care on the 6th.
 
Spokesmen confirmed that while in intensive care, Mr Johnson was not on a ventilator, but receiving oxygen therapy. After spending three nights in ICU, Mr Johnson was moved to a general ward from which he was released on Easter Sunday. Since April 12th, Mr Johnson has been convalescing at the prime minister’s country retreat of Chequers. First Secretary of State Dominic Raab has been deputising as the country’s premier.
 
Government sources have said that in recent weeks, the prime minister has been slowly increasing his workload. One source told The Telegraph: “The things he’s doing at the moment go way beyond steering the response to coronavirus. The Prime Minister has been asking for policy papers on other things, domestic and foreign, so he has increased his workload significantly.

“Everyone is expecting him back in Downing Street some time next week.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson was so badly affected by coronavirus because he is 'significantly' overweight, an NHS doctor revealed today.

Consultant cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra said there is a ten-fold risk of death from the disease - which has so far killed more than 20,000 Britons - if patients are obese.

He pointed out that other 'slimmer' members of the Cabinet - like Health Secretary Matt Hancock - recovered much more quickly and were not hospitalised.

Mr Johnson, 55, has long struggled with his weight and in 2018 revealed he weighed almost 16 and a half stone, which at 5ft 9in puts him in the high risk category. ...

This aspect has been reported on, but not very much. A very large percentage of those dying from the virus - certainly in the U.S. - have been obese. Apparently, it's "fat shaming" to mention it.

While there may not be a direct correlation, obesity often goes with poor eating/dietary choices, lack of daily exercize, cardiovascular problems, etc.

IOW it seems that covid19 ampliphies the impact of other health-negatives.

As do most respiratory illnesses.
