Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, has disclosed that doctors were getting ready to announce his lost of life as he battled the novel virus after testing positive.
He made his first public appearance on Monday, 27th May, 2020, after fully recovering from the pandemic disease he was fighting for nearly a month.
However, on speaking with the Sun UK, he disclosed that he was in a life-or-death struggle against the novel virus, saying that he was depending on litres and litres of oxygen to survive.
As stated by Boris, medical doctors already made arrangements on how to declare his death if things went wrong.
Boris said:
“It was a tough old moment, I won’t deny it. They had a strategy to deal with a ‘death of Stalin’-type scenario.
“I was not in particularly brilliant shape and I was aware there were contingency plans in place.
“The doctors had all sorts of arrangements for what to do if things went badly wrong.
“They gave me a face mask so I got litres and litres of oxygen and for a long time I had that and the little nose jobbie.
”Reality struck me when I was wired up to monitors and moved into intensive care.
”The indicators kept going in the wrong direction and I realised there was no cure for Covid-19.
”At this point I kept asking myself, how am I going to get out of this?
“It was hard to believe that in just a few days my health had deteriorated to this extent.
”I remember feeling frustrated. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting better.
“But the bad moment came when it was 50-50 whether they were going to have to put a tube down my windpipe.
“That was when I knew they were starting to think about how to handle it presentationally.
“It was thanks to some wonderful, wonderful nursing that I made it. They really did it and they made a huge difference.
“I can’t explain how it all happened but it’s wonderful to see that I pulled through.
“I get emotional about this near death experience but it was an extraordinary thing.”
Remember that on the 29th of April, the Prime Minister and his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, announces the birth of a baby boy.
