The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “‘It’s like a warzone’: What it’s like at a London hospital amid the second wave” – below is their description.
An intensive care unit consultant at a #London #hospital had a message to those denying the #coronavirus pandemic on social media, saying that working in ICU wards treating Covid-19 patients is like ”working in a war zone.”
Dr. Umeer Waheed spoke outside London’s Hammersmith hospital saying that he would “love to invite those people into these hospitals and show them exactly what’s going on”.
He said healthcare workers are ”stretched” as the number of people hospitalized due to Covid-19 is still rising.
More than 39,000 patients are being treated in UK hospitals, 80 percent more than during the first peak of the pandemic last April as health workers are battling a more contagious variant of Covid-19.
