British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that doctors prepared to announce his death while battling the coronavirus at the hospital last month.
The UK Prime Minister spent three nights in intensive care at St Thomas in London with the disease, where he said that doctors gave him “liters and liters of oxygen”.
He described it as an “old, hard time,” and told the Sun on Sunday: “They had a strategy for dealing with a” Stalin’s death “scenario.
“He was not in particularly bright shape and knew that there were contingency plans in place.
“The doctors had all kinds of arrangements for what to do if things went wrong.
“They gave me a mask, so I got gallons and gallons of oxygen and for a long time I had that and a small nose.”
Johnson, 55, said it was “hard to believe” that his health had deteriorated in just a few days, and said “he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t improving.”
The bad time came when I was 50-50 if they were going to have to put a tube in my windpipe.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom told the newspaper that “the indicators were still going in the wrong direction” and that he asked himself: “How am I going to get out of this?”
“The bad time came when I was 50-50 if they were going to have to put a tube in my windpipe.
“It was then that he got a little bit … they were starting to think about how to handle it presentationally.”
He said he was initially “in denial” about the severity of his illness and that the doctors were right to “force” him to go to the hospital.
Johnson shared his experience of the disease, as the number of people who died in hospitals, nursing homes and the wider community after testing positive for Covid-19 in the UK starting at 5 p.m. Friday’s increased to 28,131, an increase from 621.
The death toll has come closer to that of Italy, which is now 28,710 and is the highest in Europe, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
And the number of daily tests completed and submitted in the last 24 hours fell to 105,937.
Of these, the number of people evaluated was also reduced to 63,667.
It comes when questions arose about how the tests are counted after Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Friday that he had reached his goal of 100,000 Covid-19 tests per day.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of Communities said that the UK Government was “optimistic”, people will download a phone application to track the spread of the coronavirus.
Robert Jenrick said he thought the “vast majority” of people would download the app and “play their part,” although he insisted it was only one element of the plan to stop the spread.
Tracing contacts will be central to the UK Government’s efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus and will involve alerting people who have been in contact with an infected person and asking them to isolate themselves.
It has been widely used in South Korea, Hong Kong, and Germany, where outbreaks have been contained more quickly.
The UK government intends to use an application and telephone equipment to carry out the tracking.
Jenrick said at the Downing Street daily press conference: “Following up on contacts will depend on everyone in society playing our part, but I am optimistic about the prospects for that.
“This has been a national effort so far, if you think about the different measures that we have put forward, the restrictions, the vast majority of people have endorsed it and I think they will do it again when we can launch the app on a national scale.”
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jenny Harries said tracking contacts “working at scale and effectively” is “another important task but (there is) a lot of preparation underway.”
