UK: Prince Charles says he's lucky after recovering from coronavirus

Britain's Prince Charles said his experience with COVID-19 made him better understand what others with the illness had gone through and expressed sympathy for those who lost loved ones without being able to be at their side. In an exclusive interview with UK broadcaster Sky News, the royal said he had been "lucky" and "got away with it quite lightly," but that the experience had made him more determined to "push and shove and shout and prod" to address issues surrounding the virus.

He also said he tried to get the point across that "we should have to treat the planet as if it was patient long ago," and that nature had to be taken care of if the world was to avoid other threats in the future. "No self-respecting doctor would ever have let the situation, if the planet is a patient, reach this stage before making an intervention," Charles argued.
