The Guardian article from May 2020 which others have linked (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/26/last-iron-lung-paul-alexander-polio-coronavirus https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/26/last-iron-lu...) has more information on his life than this BBC one and his thoughts on the present pandemic. Given that his death was recent, I too am curious as to whether there are any further details on his acquiring the illness but suspect there may be little to report on. If you read the Guardian article he is not apathetic at all but expresses a sense that it will likely be what finally gets him.
