In an interview with GB News by two Tory MPs, Philip Davis and Ester McVeigh, Johnson also claimed that “a lot of nonsense” had been said about parties breaking the downdown on Downing Street. Davis and McVeigh, both lockdown skeptics, asked the prime minister about the comments Monday by Brexit opportunities minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, who said some lockdown rules were “rude and inhumane”. ». Asked if he agreed, Johnson said: “Yes. I accept. And I think some of them – I understand why people feel that, and I think people particularly felt the loss of the ability to see loved ones in nursing homes or meet properly for funerals. I mean, it was just horrible, not to say anything about the loss of religious functions that are so important to the spirit of the people. So, I come to the part where I talk about the middle ground. “ Asked about the possibility of full quarantine in the future, Johnson said he could not rule it out, stressing that the primary goal would be “to move forward with the vaccination and vaccination program as soon as possible”. Pushing the lockdowns, he said: “Look, I think it would be irresponsible for any leader, in any democracy, to say he would rule out something that could save lives. And I think the things we did saved lives. There could be – I have to be completely honest with you – there could be a new, more deadly variant, there could be a variation that affects children, badly, that we really need to limit. I’re not going to remove any options from the table. “But I do not think it will happen. “I think we are now in a phase – and this is the view of all the advisers I am talking to – that we are now in a phase where the virus is completely gone and we have a massively vaccinated population in the UK.” Asked about parties in and around Downing Street, for which some officials have been fined by the police and for which Johnson is facing the possibility of being fined himself, he largely refused to discuss the matter. “A lot of nonsense has been said about what really happened; but I just think it’s much better to wait until the end of the investigation before I say anything else,” Johnson said. “I have said that I will not comment on it, what I will do is say much more in the end. And that’s what we’re dealing with – I have to let the police do their job. “ Asked about his time with Covid two years ago, which included a period in the intensive care unit, Johnson said oxygen saturation levels had dropped by 80 percent in the 1980s. “You should have about 94%, or over 94%, blood oxygenation and I think when I got in I was somewhere in the 80’s, I think, and then I had a very rainy night and, you know, I fell even lower.” said Johnson. He said that the doctors told him that he needed treatment. “It was not my idea. I think that when you go through something like this, you do not really think about it in those terms. “I was thinking, you know, all the things I had to do. I mean, I literally spend most of my time thinking, “I wish I could get out of here because I’m pretty sure I have to do a press conference tomorrow morning, I’m pretty sure I did, I have to make some announcement or something.”
