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
"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'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's a fitness professional but there are a lot of patients who do have any pre-existing medical conditions. They'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't quite got to the stage that we can facilitate that"
