Coronavirus-stricken British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s fever started easing as he remained in intensive care Wednesday — as Queen Elizabeth II sent a message of support to his pregnant fiancée, according to reports.
Johnson, 55, showed promising signs as he spent his second night in an intensive care unit, where he still did not need a ventilator, The Times of London reported.
“He’s comfortable and in good spirits,” health minister Edward Argar told ITV’s “Good Morning Britain,” according to The Times.
The New York-born leader is being cared for in London’s St Thomas’ Hospital by a team led by the UK’s leading lung doctor, Dr. Richard Leach, according to the Daily Telegraph.
“Richard is a brilliant doctor who knows everything there is to know about respiratory care. He’s saved thousands of lives,” a former colleague told the UK paper.
“The Prime Minister couldn’t be in better hands.”
As he remained in ICU, the Queen revealed she sent a personal message to the PM’s fiancée, Carrie Symonds, who has been isolating at home while also stricken with symptoms of the virus, isolating at home.
“Her Majesty said they were in her thoughts and that she wished the Prime Minister a full and speedy recovery,” stated the official Royal Family Twitter account.
Not everyone was so supportive, however — with a town mayor sparking outrage by writing on Facebook that “he completely deserves this” because he is “one of the worst PMs we’ve ever had.”
Sheila Oakes, the mayor of Heanor in Derbyshire, later apologized, telling the BBC she “made a mistake.”
“I didn’t think what I said would upset so many people. It came across as not a nice thing to say,” she said of the huge backlash.
