Coronavirus: Conversation with bereaved relatives of health workers

We have a conversation with bereaved relatives of three health workers. The son of Sophie Fagan, a nurse in London for more than for over 50 years who died last week from Covid 19, describes her as a legend. The niece of Dr. J Ronald Verrier, a critical care surgeon in New York, describes her uncle as a gentle giant. His niece is also a doctor dealing with Covid-19. And Giacomo in Northern Italy speaks about his father Vicenzo Leone and explains how he appeared to be on the mend before dying suddenly.

And our health expert today is Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto. As we do each day, he will answer listener questions. We will also discuss why Covid--19 patients apparently getting better can sometimes die suddenly, as well as the role that oxygen levels in the blood play in full recovery.
