US President Donald Trump said Boris Johnson thought ‘It Was Over’ when he was hospitalized with the widespread coronavirus. He said the UK Prime Minister disclosed coronavirus in him about his experience with the potentially fatal virus during a phone call on 21^st April. The conversation between the two leaders took place a week after Johnson left intensive care at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. The comments of US President came after Johnson insisted in an interview with The Sun that he never really thought that I wouldn’t come back. UK Prime Minister said that thoughts of the impending birth of his son Wilfred (arrived last Wednesday just 17 days after his father’s discharge from hospital) gave him an extra amount of power to shake off the illness.

The British PM was asked if he feared at any point that he might not live to see his new child, he replied and said, “Well, yes, of course. We’ve all got a lot to live for, a lot to do, and I won’t hide it from you, I was thinking about that, yes.” Johnson added, “I suppose there was some terrible, as I say, some natural buoyancy or refusal to give in or harbor negative thoughts. I never really thought that I wouldn’t come back from it. It was more frustration.”

It is noteworthy that the UK has experienced a significant amount of increase in deaths because of coronavirus during the past several weeks. President Trump delivered his words during speaking to Fox News at a virtual town hall, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. He said, “I spoke the other day to the prime minister of United Kingdom, Boris. He was a victim of what happened. He thought it was over. He thought it was over, it was vicious, and he made it. He’s a great guy and he made it, but he has first-hand experience – the ultimate first-hand experience.”
