And the Legendary British motor racing driver, sir stirling moss, has died aged 90. In about ten minutes, itll be time for the film review. But first, were showing a special programme coronavirus what you need to know. Hello and welcome to this bbc news special. Im annita mcveigh. Stay with us over the next 30 minutes as we share the latest information on the coronavirus outbreak. Well take you into an intensive care unit in a London Hospital to show what doctors are confronted with as they care for patients who have severe cases of covid 19. Plus, chris morris from the bbcs Reality Check Team will bust more of the myths about coronavirus. And a reminder that there is further advice, news and information about coronavirus in your area on the bbc news website. But first, the dramatic spread of the pandemic has put Health Services in some countries under immense pressure through the sheer scale of people requiring specialist treatment. 0ur medical correspondent fergus walsh and cameraman adam walker got exclusive access to one intensive care ward at University College hospital in Central London to give us this rare insight into what Health Professionals are having to face on a daily basis. It is completely unimaginable and we are not at the peak yet. This is the front line in a war. Apart from two patients, every patient we are looking after has covid. We cant cope, we just cant. Every day, some battles are won. This is one of the doctors here. And some are lost. All the patients here are critically ill. We are planning for many more patients, so all our theatres to be full of Covid Patients and possibly beyond. It is, you know, we none of us have ever seen anything like this. This used to be a Recovery Area for patients after surgery. Now its an intensive care unit for covid 19 patients. A huge part of the hospital has been transformed in order to deal with coronavirus. Ive been in intensive care nursing for about 23 years now and ive never seen anything like this even the london bombings. Never seen it in such a short, condensed period of time. Many of the patients here are elderly or have Underlying Health problems, but not all. I think perhaps i was a bit naive when i we started. Id assumed that it would be the older and sicker. In here, weve got a mixture, from people in their 40s to their 70s, a lot of them have high Blood Pressure and diabetes or a bit of respiratory disease. But some of them who are coming through are young and fit. The patients here have severe pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs. They must be heavily sedated while on a ventilator a machine which takes over their breathing. Patients can spend two weeks like this. Many drugs are being tested but there is, as yet, no proven treatment for coronavirus. So its oxygen and. . 0rgan support, and amazing nursing care, really. One thing that helps is turning the patients onto their front. It increases the oxygen getting into their lungs. What seems like a simple procedure takes time. And lots of pairs of hands. 0k, everyone all right . Yep. Ready, steady. 90. With ventilated patients, extreme care is needed. All of this while staff wear full personal protective equipment. Well done, thats great. 0k, can we check on the ventilation . Their only barrier against coronavirus. Every time a doctor or nurse goes on to the unit, they must don full safety gear. You cant wear this and work for more than a couple of hours because youve got a crushing headache, you know, youve got a dry mouth. You have to get out. Staff write their names on their aprons so they can be quickly identified. So theres an emergency on the itu. The head of Critical Care was asked via a walkie talkie if he would give a second opinion. But he needs to be there, so the full kit has to be put on. They use walkie talkies because their visors mean they cannot communicate on phones. It is draining, physically and mentally. Its really hard, and some of our staff really cannot cope with it. You know, weve got a huge number of nurses, doctors, physios and not all of them can deal with it, so they can only spend a short time, or notjust any time. Its not uncommon for some of our staff to have panic attacks and finding this so, so stressful. So weve got to support people some people just cant do it. Despite the possible risk to themselves, the medical staff carry on. 12 hour shifts, 60 hours a week are the norm. They worry about the patients, about each other, and about those they love. I think its very hard on our families. My kids are at home. My wife is home schooling. Its easy, in a way for me im doing myjob, and busy all day. They dont really know what its like here, whether we are bringing home the virus. And theyve just been amazing. Just let me do what i need to do, and im just incredibly grateful to them. What is striking here is the sense of calm. In the face of adversity, doctors and nurses simply get on with thejob. The staff here are dealing with the biggest challenge ever faced by the nhs. They can save many of the patients but sadly, not all of them. And still, more patients keep coming every day. Coughs. And no one is sure how long this will last. For now, they can cope. But that depends on all of us playing our part. What is your message to people watching or listening to this . If people dont stay at home and they sneak out, this is going to continue to happen, and our staff are going to be exposed for longer, we are not going to have the equipment to do the best that we can by everybody who needs it. We do need to flatten that curve and it is so serious. And ijust wish people would really, really listen to what the government and we are saying. It is harrowing to see the devastation caused by coronavirus and humbling to witness the resilience of nurses and doctors the heroes of this crisis. One of the latest countries to advise people to wear masks or cover their faces in public is the united states. Despite the guidance from experts at the World Health Organisation, that medical masks should be reserved for Health Care Professionals and not used by the general public. Israel, indonesia and morocco are now amongst countries that have made wearing of face masks compulsory in public. The bbcs science editor has been investigating how effective wearing them can be. A computer simulation of someone coughing in a supermarket. This is new research, still to be confirmed, that shows how coronavirus could spread and linger in the air, infecting people nearby. The scientist involved says the obvious conclusion is to avoid places that might be busy. First of all, dont go there if you dont need to go there. If you need to go there, go there only as seldom as possible. And stay there as short a time as possible. If someone is showing symptoms they shouldnt be going to a supermarket or anywhere else but there is growing evidence that people can have the virus and not show symptoms. And thats one reason why the Us Government and many others, are now urging people that if they have to go out, they wear a mask. In morocco, for example, there is now a Government Order to wear masks. With the threat of prison or fines to back that up. But the World Health Organisation and the British Government believe measures like this just arent needed. Here in the uk, the guidance is its Health Care Workers and carers who should wear masks. And the worry is that supplies might run out if the public are trying to buy them as well. There are different views about this among scientists. One is that if you wear a mask, you might reduce the risk of passing virus to others. Another is that once you put a mask on, you might get a false sense of security. You might think you can get close to people again or stop washing your hands so often. And you might treat the mask much too casually. Wearing a mask must be consistent, its not on to wear a mask and decide to take it off and smoke a cigarette or eat a meal, it must be worn full time. At the same time as the mask is taken off, the outside surface may be contaminated as well. And hands become contaminated and then could serve as a source of infection. In any event, more and more countries are demanding that people wear masks. In indonesia, they are handing them out. And the Italian Region of tuscany is scaling up deliveries because everyone will have to wear one. Attitudes are changing fast. Finally, throughout our series, weve been hearing from chris morris and the Reality Check Team who have been myth busting some of the big stories, treatments and cures you may have heard about covid i9. We are all going to be in this for the long haul and separating fact from fiction is really important. So here are some myths you should be aware of. Number one. Lemonjuice protects you from covid i9. There have been plenty of claims about things you should eat or drink to thwart coronavirus. And the lemonjuice myth just wont go away. It started with a viral social media post containing advice from a fake chinese scientist. To be clear, lemonjuice is obviously not bad view, in fact, all fruit and vegetables are essential while nearly all of us have to stay at home. They can help keep you healthy. But they dont stop you getting a virus like this. Myth number two. Mosquito bites can infect you with the virus. We know you can get diseases from mosquito bites but there is no evidence at all that the little brutes can infect you with coronavirus. Again, remember, this is a respiratory virus, spread mainly when someone who is ill coughs or sneezes. And the best way to protect yourself is to avoid close contact with anyone who is sick. And keep washing your hands myth number three. Blood donations will get you a free test. Some people are hoping they might get a free coronavirus test if they donate blood. Thats absolutely not the case. But theres been a persistent false belief on social media that it might be. So, the best advice for now, try to stay healthy, while scientists work towards medical breakthroughs.
