A heroic doctor fighting the coronavirus has shared a devastating diary from the frontline. The UK’s death toll yesterday reached 1,019 – a jump of 260 – with 17,089 confirmed cases and the entire country under quarantine.
NHS workers are putting their lives at risk every day in a bid to contain its relentless spread. This unidentified medic works in one of London’s worst-hit hospitals, which has seen 20 people die in just 24 hours.
In the horrifying diary extracts, they tell how the wards are swamped with patients – and underequipped medics are being forced to make life-or-death decisions, as reported in the Daily Mirror.
