A coronavirus survivor thought to be Britain's longest-suffering patient has been left vomiting every day. Jason Kelk, 49, from Leeds, was rushed to hospital with a chest infection last April, which turned out to be Covid. But the damage wrought by the virus to his stomach has reportedly left him with gastroparesis, causing him to suffer regular vomiting bouts. 'Long Covid' — which includes breathlessness, brain fog, and muscle pains — strikes around one in ten people who suffer the disease, according to estimates. Studies suggest Covid can also disrupt the digestive system, with some scientists calling on health authorities to recognise diarrhoea as a possible symptom of Covid.
