An Englishman survived 222 days with COVID-19, stroke, heart attack, coma

The plague killed one of the island’s most feared serial killers

An Englishman who is considered perhaps the most affected by the coronavirus in Britain and was treated for 222 days in the hospital has been discharged in good condition. Ali Sakalioglu showed symptoms of COVID-19 in late March, when the island was first declared a national blockade due to the pandemic.

The 56-year-old taxi driver suspects that he was infected while working. He called the British health care phone for coronavirus and was advised to isolate himself at home. However, his condition rapidly deteriorated and in early April he was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

but it does not improve. He was transferred to another hospital, where he underwent a tracheostomy, but suffered a heart attack and was put into a medical coma. For three months, doctors fought to save him. He also suffered a stroke, collapsed lungs, and sepsis. Three times the hospital informed his family that he would die and prepare for the worst.

However, Sakalioglu, an avid poker player, managed to beat death. But the damage to his body is so severe that he must be transferred to a nursing home, where he will be taught to walk and take care of himself again.

Thus, after seven months of fighting the effects of the coronavirus, Ali can now return home to London. His nine grandchildren have decorated the entire house with balloons and are competing to be the first to hug him.

“We can win the battle against coronavirus, just as we won World War I and World War II,” Ali told The Sun. He called on the British to follow the rules set by the government for self-isolation so that hospitals can cope with and help those most in need.

Britain is in a second lockdown, which Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised to end in early December so people can travel with loved ones at Christmas. The 14-day quarantine for those arriving in the country is considered reduced to 7 days if a person tests negative after a five-day stay.

However, the number of infected continues to grow, as reported Thursday.

and the death toll since the beginning of the epidemic has exceeded 50,000. Among them he turned out to be one of the most brutal serial killers in the country. 74-year-old Peter Sutcliffe, called the Yorkshire Ripper, died in prison, refusing treatment. He was serving a life sentence after being convicted in 1981 of killing 13 women and attempting to kill seven more between 1975 and 1980.
