Prime Minister Boris Johnson's admission to intensive care is a source of great concern in the UK and beyond. Once again, proof that the Covid-19 can harshly reach healthy subjects, whether anonymous or powerful.
On Monday, "during the afternoon, the Prime Minister's state of health deteriorated and, on the advice of his medical team, he was transferred to the intensive care unit of the hospital," according to his spokesperson.
Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, his official statements about the severity of the epidemic have changed a lot. Boris Johnson said on March 3, "Rest assured that I will continue to shake hands." Before backtracking on March 12: "This is the worst health crisis of our generation".
