- 4 years ago
“I honestly felt myself slipping away,” says Stephanie King, as she describes the moment her battle with coronavirus took a deadly turn.
“I was at home with my family, more than a week after my symptoms had started, and I remember saying to my husband ‘if you don’t get me some help now, I think I’m going to pass away.’
“He called 999 instantly.”
Stephanie, a singer from Dronfield in Derbyshire, was rushed to Chesterfield Royal Hospital earlier this month after paramedics arrived at her home to find her oxygen levels dangerously low and her temperature at nearly 41.
A swab for Covid-19 came back positive the next day.
