A Covid intensive care unit with patients so weak they "can't even move their fingers" has opened its doors to the horror of the frontline against the disease. It's extremely rare for loved ones to witness what happens on a Covid intensive care unit, such is the cruelty of this disease. Greg is among seventeen patients who are intubated and hooked up to a ventilator when we visit the intensive care ward. At Wythenshawe, a second Critical Care Unit had to be set up as Covid patients flooded in last year. The 59-year-old can now breathe on his own, having been discharged from ICU to a Covid respiratory ward.
