"thoughts with ～" / "worrying time" Please help me understand following news correctly. 1) Does "thoughts as well with his partner..." in the text mean in other words that "he is concerned about her (that's why he decided to be hospitalized) ? I don't get well what "with" means here. 2) What does "a worrying time" mean? Does it means "Now it is difficult time" 3) Does "them" mean Johnson and Carrie in the text "A worrying time for them both" ? here news text: Officials say the 55-year-old prime minister was conscious and did not require a ventilator at the moment, but was moved as a precaution in case he did. Johnson asked Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to temporarily take over his duties while he's hospitalized. It may be just that he hasn't rested enough. But there will be thoughts as well with his partner Carrie Symonds, she is pregnant with their child. A worrying time for them both.

In what emotional tone do you usually speak "So that's it!" or "So that where you were!" As I suppose "So that's it" means "Now I realize what it is". So I thought "So that's it" is the same as "I see". But the text I'm reading makes me think that this phrase may be used only when you are unsatisfied, angry. Is it right? Let me refer to some examples: Basil: You know I can't pay for more help. But you don't care if you ruin the restaurant! Naoko: Basil, I could pay for it. I'd be earning much more than a waiter's salary! Basil: So that's it. you'd be earning more... than I would. Naoko: (stunned) It is possible, eventually. Naoko: I went to see Mike today. I'm worried about him. Basil: So that's where you were! I didn't think you'd admit it so coolly. I'm sure he's not making enough to live on. Basil: Of course not! He's made a stupid choice! He's ruining his life! Please give me advises. Thank you.
