COVID-19: Still 'a long, long way' until lockdown restrictions can be lifted, Matt Hancock tells Sophy Ridge On SundayLoved ones should know that the care our NHS workforce is providing is what you'd want - diligent, respectful and unrelenting. But, in the darkest moment, it can't replace a wife, a son, a daughter, at the end of the bed.I happened to walk into his world on his last full day on Earth.
As we spoke his voice got weaker. He was convinced he'd caught the virus at work, a key worker delivering bread.He told me how much he missed his wife Linda."Oh I miss her," he hadn't seen her for two weeks. The operations room recorded over 300 infected patients in the Royal Free on Wednesday, a lower figure than their peak in spring 2020 - however this time they had far more non-COVID patients, meaning the pressures were higher.Dr Mike Spiro, an intensive care consultant told me London hospitals were close to full and they had been considering transferring patients to the Midlands.
On the third floor, what in normal times is a recovery room for surgery patients, has now been adapted. "I do understand people want to get together, you know and see their relatives. This is the result. I feel like I want to cry in many moments. I mean, I can't do my job properly." Next to her, Evelyn Griffin and Patricia Terrer, two therapists who would normally work with special needs children in the community, were putting mittens on for a 41-year-old COVID patient to stop her pulling at the tubes.Image:Standing next to one bed was consultant interventional cardiologist, Dr Roby Rakhit. He explained the patient's condition.
His daughter Ana held up a grandchild and Nicolae lifted heavy hands to wave at the young face. Ana was elated."We just prayed, we thank God and we prayed again and for everybody there you take care of him. God help us, he's a miracle and we just thank to God."On the eighth floor of the hospital, a step down from intensive care, another patient Sidali Yousfi was slowly becoming less dependent on the equipment that is helping him to breathe.
Very sad situation; i feel for all the families who have lost loved ones. We must take it seriously.
Blame China for this stupid Covid
Pretty sure this was aired yesterday, don't keep banging the doom and gloom bus. You are part of the problem Sky News
Stop pushing this lockdown agenda sky just because your own lot broke the rules! They are just as guilty as the ravers and the wedding goers. Think we have forgotten do you?
This is the harrowing reality of life. Risk of illness is part of life. Look after yourself and your immune system will look after you.
We can't go and visit our loved ones .Yet reporters and camera crews are allowed to film .
Just like being diagnosed with cancer but then not having the treatment you expected 😒
Sadly that happens to many people every year yes even before covid and sadly will do afterwards. Now give it a rest.
Didn’t ask tbh.
Average age 59?
Everyone send this to MattHancock and BorisJohnson and tell them their agenda of Herd Immunity isn't working and killing people. This is SARS, not a strain of flu like they trying to tell us...DONT BELIEVE THEIR LIES.. WE ARE ALL EXPENDABLE TO THEM!
A very difficult watch anybody that thinks it don't exist go back to your caves.
Excellent viewing, more on the wall reports needed to get the message out, COVID deniers do not listen.
How many of these stories have you carried since the pandemic started? Yes we know it’s serious and frontline staff are overworked but it’s like the same report every day.
It would seem so in this country since almost every other country in the world has better survival rates based on deaths per head of population.. Something is going wrong in this country.. and people just seem to keep ignoring it.
More fear porn
And the scaremongering continues. This is heartbreaking for the ones who get it bad but we never hear about the hundred of thousands who get it and are fine.
Awful keep strong ☹️♥️♥️♥️
That comment about the high oxygenated mask “like sticking your head out on the motorway” when my grandmother was in hospital they turned that specific type of machine off as they said it spread covid? They said she was lucky to receive it as in the first wave it wasn’t allowed
Scaremongering shite house tactics laa,,, hope they all burn to peaces ahaah
What happened in wards before this particular coronavirus existed? And people died of other causes? Was it pre Tik Tok?
The NHS is not fit for purpose
I just want to say thank you sky news! I work at the royal free, I’ve only been there 2 weeks and on my third shift I was asked to work on ICU as a newly qualified nurse. Thank you for showing what I deal with on every shift!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do yer part fellow Brits wear a mask.
