One of Britain's longest suffering Covid patients has called for people to take up their vaccine a year after she was struck down with the virus. Fatima Bridle has warned of the “true horror” of Covid and revealed she had a vivid dream when she was in a two-month coma battling the virus that it wasn't her time to die. The 35-year-old contracted coronavirus when she flew back from a holiday in Morocco in early March last year – before the global pandemic had taken hold. She spent 141 days in hospital, 105 of which were on the brink of death on a ventilator battling the virus, sepsis and pneumonia.
