Covid: Inside the critical care ward where Covid patients are fighting for their lives

Although Covid figures are continuing to fall across the UK there are still patients left fighting for their lives. Those who were worst affected, who couldn’t even be helped by ventilators, are on ECMO machines, which take over the work of their hearts and lungs.
