An ambulance worker and ex-policeman fighting for his life in intensive care against coronavirus sent his family a heartbreaking text before he was put into an induced coma.
Jack Frost, a medical technician for East of England Ambulance Service, had been facing the killer bug head on responding to calls since the beginning of the outbreak.
When the 63-year-old, from Cambridge, suddenly fell ill he put it down to exhaustion from working long hours, but his bosses told him to self-isolate when he developed a fever. "He was just feeling a bit under the weather and then he had a couple of days off and it really hit him, he was feeling really unwell," his daughter Alex, 25, told CambridgeshireLive.
