British PM Johnson says doctors prepared to announce his death as he battled coronavirus, ending up in intensive care, last month.

“The doctors had all sorts of arrangements for what to do if things went badly wrong,” Johnson said.

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson displaying his Get Well Soon cards sent in by children while he was ill with COVID-19, at his office in 10 Downing Street, central London on Tuesday, April 28.He admitted he initially brushed off the seriousness of the situation when he tested positive for the virus in late March, saying he was “in denial” and kept working. But he was thankful that his doctors “forced” him to go to the hospital.

When his health deteriorated further, Johnson was moved into intensive care, shocking the nation in the midst of a"The bad moment came when it was 50-50 whether they were going to have to put a tube down my windpipe," Johnson said."That was when it got a bit . . . they were starting to think about how to handle it presentationally.

Johnson is now back to his regular duties at 10 Downing Street and is, once again, in control of the country’s response to the outbreak that has claimed 28,131 lives in the U.K. as of Saturday — a death toll that’s just slightly lower than in hard-hit Italy. He is expected to reveal his plan for how the nation will gradually exit the lockdown and restart its economy later this week.

I’m sick of hearing this. It’s not news and who gives a shit. Prepared to announce it? Did they stand there practicing how to say his fucking name?

I wonder if the statement contained any cheering

Was Boris Johnson on a ventilator in ICU?

Oh come on. He wasn’t even on a ventilator. At the time they played it all down. So they were lying either then or now.

It's expected in medical practice. Nothing supring there. Was him to dye unexpectedly how do you expect the doctors to report. They had to be prepared for worst case scenario

But It was all just a hoax, remember?

We all remember he was ill and ended up in intensive care. He thanked NHS for saving his life. Now, Instead of harping on his own ‘importance’, ‘Johnson needs to put his leadership skills to saving more lives and easing safely out of lockdown.

all they had to do to keep him alive was play the WW2 speech by Churchill and just add ( we will fight on the beaches, we will fight in the - intensive care... and tara ... he's awake ... british style 🔌

Damn the luck. Could of gotten rid of one POS leader.

Ah... BorisJohnson do you think you can talk to Trump about his stupidity?

Wouldn't it be epic if he blared that news out to Trump during a briefing

Dearly Beloved... let’s hear the obit at least

Wish doctors could have announced it

“Almost” doesn’t count! 💁🏾‍♂️

Yet he lives so why report the stupid theories. If he had bad doctors opinions it because he had a 98% chance of living. Stupid

His people gave the doctors an emergency, just in case statement that they didn’t have to use.... lol like what tf is there to see here

BS

I trust none of this politicians. will talk after they announced his death.

dmrider just goes to show, thots 'n' prares don't work

Is that ICU bed head he is sporting?

Ah well, better luck next time

dmrider No spoilers. Did he die?

Is that a recent picture? He looks like death warmed over.. soo...

just being hopeful

josh_emerson That would have been a Hard Borexit.

Praise God you are alive

Johnson is a excellent story maker. lol

Yeh yeh yeh, boring, move along.

He already looks like a zombie so it is understandable.

Didnt always agree with that man but in these trying times its always sad to see someone go, May his legacy echo through eternity.

Look at him. Are we sure he didn’t die?

Did he say what he named his son? I couldn’t open the video - maybe it was there.

Hopefully, you will remember that for life. Or, you are dammed!

What's the Miracle medicine ? I heard crickets everytime...lol

I bet those doctors were low key disappointed...

I'm not really fond of the scruffy bastard, but I'm glad he's well. Perhaps his experience will temper his guidance. And the birth of his son.

Lucky to survive..!

Probably the best thing that could happen to the UK

Stunt or what ? 🤔

Did they let him read the obits? Man, that would be like a visit with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

At a glance...i swear this was tRump...

FakeNews ThoughtsAndPrayers IDontReallyCareDoYou COVIDー19

They must have been very disappointed.

Fake news, he was never even sick. Give him an Oscar for his performance!

He wants sympathy he's a liar.

Trump wanna b needs to go away

RIGHT and the good news.. he recovered so quickly from his death bed? hmm a hospital admin called my family with the same news but I didn't recover so quickly? Maybe it's because he's so young & vibrant? 🤣 At least when I was in hospital.. they gave me a comb! 😉

Until he got that Trump vaccine...

Two words Boris: lucky bastard!!! Shook any hands lately? Did Donald call to express his sympathy?!?

Apparently he was at death’s door at the same time as being in “good spirits” and reading Government briefs. Quite a feat.

QUE DEJE DE SEGUIR HACIENDOLE CASO A TRUMP!!! Y PIDA AYUDA A CHINA!!!SU PUEBLO ESTA MUERIENDO...

Sometimes it takes not so bright people a long time to figure things out

So now he believes it’s real ?

Did someone tell them you look like that all the time ?

But didn’t good ole Boris say he didn’t believe in the virus

BorisJohnson You look like you have been poisoned, same as me, they poisoned me too.

Dr 1: “Boris Johnson is dead. Ahem. Boris Johnson is dead”. Dr 2: “Why do you keep saying that?” Dr 1: “I’m preparing to announce his death” Dr 2: “Don’t you think that will cause confusion?” Dr 1: “Don’t be silly. Boris Johnson is dead. Boris Johnson is dead. Okay, ready”

BorisJohnson GCHQ ArmyCGS I have reason to believe you might have been poisoned Boris, some poisons only have to touch the skin. I know how that is.

(Little flashack, March 3 2020 : The Prime Minister tells a press conference: “I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands.”

I respect him. He used his body to prove the power of the virus.

I've heard some bullshit come from him but this takes the cake. Bravo on your performance Boris.

They didn't know how tough you are. Glad your OK

And the shit just keeps getting deeper.

Never forget, narcissisticBoJo imagined the virus didn’t apply to him, merely people he didn’t like and was more than willing let 250K Britons die to cull the herd to get his “herd immunity.” Poor. Immigrants. Black. Brown. Until he nearly died. Then he changed his tune.

And then Brad pitt showed up and said hey PM Johnson, you time ain't up... You shall live for another couple decades... pm johnson asked... Who are you? Are you the angel of death from that flick? Pitt answers and says yes, I am black... Joe black. Meet Joe black!!!

The PM says a lot of things - many of which are best taken with a pinch of salt. Worth noting also that this interview was with the sun newspaper dontbuythesun

Wow ! My dreams Led me to ICU unit where Trump, Pence, Mitch , Jared , Jr, Ivanka , Barr, Minuchin , Jim the little whiny one thst covered up Sex abuse at OSU! , Burke ,Graham, Grasse, Blackburn, Nunes ! Gotta say great dream !!! No ventilators! FEMA had em all!

'Success is not FINAL, failure is not FATAL. It is only the COURAGE to continue.' Winston Churchill baby

Thank God he’s fine.

Somebody help that poor man with his hair!

Geez that Coronavirus must have been serious. Can add Boris to the herd, he’s potentially got some immunity, maybe, for a while, or maybe not

Omg thank god he is ok

with no pneumonia? he is such a scam

Good for this brave leader backing on track...

BorisJohnson I’m glad to see you home Boris, I’m also happy to see you leading in this time. And I apologize that America, a staunch friend of the U.K. Has left it’s post as the worlds leader, and it pains me to say. It may take a little until we’re once again a shining city on

Okay. Is he now willing to change his mind about Brexit? Or is he the same wacky nationalist he was before COVID? That’s what people want to hear about.

Guess you should have listened to how bad the virus was and not dismiss the facts!

Nothing worse than cancelling a party at short notice.

Dude got lucky.

Man looks like death hope he is recovering

I thought he was done as well. Maybe it was all a hoax?

Well since he kissed the door of death has he grown as a person? Had an emotional awakening? Has he evolved? Well then I’m not interested

Resist urge to comment inappropriately...

But money saved him.

Honestly, he looks rather dead in this photo.

Wait, wasn't this all a hoax?

How is it that David Bowie and Prince died in the same year, and both Boris Johnson AND Kim Jong Un cheated death in the same month?

That's not true is it

He looks rough.
