UK Prime Minister,
Boris Johnson has revealed that doctors prepared to announce his death as he
battled the coronavirus disease after testing positive.
The Prime Minister
made his first public appearance on Monday after fully recovering from the
disease he battled for nearly a month.
Speaking with the
Sun UK, Boris said he was in a life-or-death struggle against the virus, adding
that he depended on litres and litres of oxygen to survive.
According to him,
doctors already made arrangements on how to announce his death if things went
wrong.
He 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.”
Recall that the
Prime Minister and his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, recently welcomed a new baby
boy after battling the disease.
