Medics were expecting Boris Johnson to be rushed to hospital three days before he was finally admitted – and only realised that he wasn't coming when they saw him clapping for the NHS that evening on their television screens. .....
A Government source described Mr Johnson
as 'resistant' to the idea of going into hospital for fear of it looking
like he was receiving preferential treatment, but Downing Street last
night insisted that he acted on the advice of his doctors. It was agreed on April 2 that he would remain in self- isolation above No11 with his symptoms reviewed on Saturday morning. However,
Ministers, aides and friends now say privately that he should have gone
into hospital much earlier. 'It was clear he was in a terrible state
all week,' said one. According to NHS
sources, the team at St Thomas' were already 'scrubbed up and in PPE'
[personal protective equipment] at a secret entrance to the hospital on
Thursday evening when they were told that the PM was no longer coming. "
