The Doctors who were treating Boris Johnson for coronavirus prepared to announce his death after he was taken to ICU, British prime minister stated on Sunday, in his first detailed comments about his illness.
“It was a troublesome old moment, I won’t deny it,” he was cited as saying by the Sun on Sunday newspaper in an interview. “They had a technique to deal with a ‘death of Stalin’-type scenario.
UK PM Johnson, 55, first declared he had contracted COVID-19 on the 27th of March but maintained he had only mild symptoms. Yet he did not shake the illness after a week of self-isolation.
He was moved to a hospital as a precaution on April 5 for additional tests but after 24 hours he had to move to ICU.
Boris Johnson spent three days receiving “oxygen support”, and admitted after his discharge on April 12 that his fight for life “could have gone either way”.
