A Leeds man on the road to recovery from the coronavirus he feared would kill him has praised the "stunning" care he received from the NHS.

David Bolus thought his chances of survival were less than fifty-fifty after he was admitted to intensive care at Leeds General Infirmary and put on a ventilation machine.

The 53-year-old, who considered himself "relatively fit" before contracting Covid-19, said that for days he focused only on breathing in and out, before turning a corner and "sobbing uncontrollably" as he came to terms with what happened.
