A lot of it comes and goes but…recently, well ago months I had COVID 19. Covid 19, and I was in hospital, in St James in Leeds. I didn't know I was in that because I was unconscious.

My wife was a nurse, well she’s a retired sister and she was talking to them at St. James, where I was. They said to her “we don’t think Fred’s going to - probably he’ll die.” But for some reason, I don’t know what the reason was, I opened my eyes. I didn't know where I was because I was not fully conscious before even it all happened. They moved me to LGI in Leeds which was a lot better. I was walking about then. Talking to two or there others - there were a couple my age. And that was it. And eventually after three weeks he allowed me to go home.
