When the Prime Minister was infected with Covid-19 virus his life was saved when he was given free flow oxygen treatment at St Thomas’s Hospital in London, which was 40 to 60 litres of oxygen per minute for many hours or perhaps several days.

Apparently St Thomas’s Hospital has unusually large supplies of oxygen.

I am 80 years of age and have MS and together with many other people with MS in Eastbourne, we are high on the risk list of being infected with the Covid 19 virus and if infected we, like the Prime Minister, should all be treated with free flow oxygen.

I recently read an assurance from the medical director for East Sussex NHS Trust, Dr David Walker, that ‘all patients requiring high flow oxygen will receive it. We have expanded our oxygen capacity accordingly’.

Freeflow oxygen treatment gives the infected patient a good chance of surviving the aggressive hypoxemia which inflames the lungs, as must have been the case with the Prime Minister.

It is a medical fact that oxygen heals inflammation and inflammation causes hypoxia, a serious reduction of oxygen in the body tissues.

My question is how many Covid-19 infected patients in the Eastbourne District Hospital have been given free flow oxygen treatment and how many lives have been saved and will I be given free flow oxygen treatment if I am positively infected with the Covid-19 virus?
