One of the UK’s longest-suffering COVID patients has revealed he was confronted by a conspiracy theorist during his 10-month stay in hospital and heard bogus claims that the virus is a hoax.
Cancer survivor Andy Watts, 40, told Sky News he feared he would die after falling seriously ill with coronavirus in December last year.
The father-of-two spent eight months in intensive care, including five weeks in an induced coma, when doctors considered switching off his ventilator after his condition deteriorated.
But after a remarkable recovery, he finally left the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, southeast London, in October – 300 days after being admitted for treatment.
