Must watch interview with Dr David Hepburn tonight. Tells @adavies4 all patients in ICU are aged 50 or younger and if we don’t stay at home, more people and health care workers will die. #c4news 7pm https://twitter.com/adavies4/status/1245085996779278337">https://twitter.com/adavies4/...
"When the reports started coming out of Wuhan, we were led to believe that this was something that was particularly dangerous for the more elderly patients but I would say all the patients we& #39;ve got an intensive care are in their 50s or younger at the moment."
"Our youngest patient is in her early 20s. And there are patients who are very well, a chap who& #39;s a fitness professional but there are a lot of patients who do have any pre-existing medical conditions. They& #39;re not diabetic or anything like that."
"Our team are very caring & will if necessary sit with those patients & hold their hands. No one should die alone & no one should die without someone holding their hand & talking to them. Ideally it will be family but we haven& #39;t quite got to the stage that we can facilitate that"
