Britain Cheers As Boris Johnson Released From Hospital Though he hasn't yet made a full recovery, Boris Johnson was released from St. Thomas' Hospital in London where he was being treated for severe symptoms of COVID-19, giving Britons one more thing to celebrate on Easter Sunday, even as the country remained on lockdown. Last week, Johnson was briefly moved to the ICU and reportedly received some oxygen support, though he was never put on a ventilator (a process that would've required placing the PM in a medically induced coma). The PM released a statement last night thanking the NHS for their service and for his treatment, saying he "owes his life" to the NHS. According to the BBC, it's unclear when Johnson will return to work. In the mean time, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will continue to run the country in Johnson's stead. Now, get ready for a wave of "Boris is dead" conspiracy theories, as one twitter wit pointed out.
