U.S President Donald Trump said American people are praying for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Point to be noted that British PM was moved to ICU (intensive care unit) after his Covid-19 symptoms worsened. Trump was appeared at his daily White House briefing on the Covid-19 coronavirus and said, “I also need to send my best wishes to a very good friend of mine and a friend to our nation, Prime Minister Boris Johnson. We’re very saddened to hear that he was taken into intensive care this afternoon, a little while ago. And Americans are all praying for his recovery. He’s been a really good friend, he’s been really something very special: strong, resolute, doesn’t quit, doesn’t give up”.

Trump said intensive care is big stuff and also called Johnson a warm guy who really loves his country. He was asked if he or vice president Mike Pence would reconsider their own behavior in light of the prime minister’s worsening illness. Trump said they might get more coronavirus tests. Both have tested negative in previous tests. The president said he had informed 2 genius companies to get in touch with the prime minister’s doctors although it wasn’t immediately clear what they would be offering. Trump said, “We’ve contacted all of Boris’s doctors, and we’ll see what is going to take place. But they are ready to go. But when you get brought into intensive care, it gets very serious with this particular disease”.

President Trump said, “It’s a very complex treatment of things that they’ve just recently developed. They’ve already had meetings with the doctors, and we’ll see whether or not they want to go that route”. He was also asked about Johnson’s relatively late decision to create an effective lock-down in the country. Trump replied, and said many people were thinking about riding it out, meaning, whatever it is. He said countries acted once the numbers of cases and deaths became monumental. The United States actually moved early with its travel bans from China and Europe. He added the British PM made a decision very quickly thereafter to do what they did, but the UK is now suffering greatly as a nation right now.
