- BY LIAM THORP

A MEDIC administer­s life-saving treatment to a Covid-19 patient amid harrowing scenes in intensive care.

Nearby in the Royal Liverpool Hospital’s red Covid ward, colleagues are flipping a patient on his front to help him breathe. A nurse admits the

previously healthy middle-aged man’s survival chances are “not good”.

Another nurse said: “People need to realise that this could happen to anyone, these people weren’t expecting this to happen to them.

“The virus is still here and we need people to do the right things.”
