Author Michael Rosen Says He Was Hours from Death with COVID-19 | Good Morning Britain

After being admitted to Intensive care with Covid-19, popular poet and broadcaster, Michael Rosen was told his chances of going home were 50/50. He said doctors warned "he might not wake up" before being placed in an induced coma for 47 days. He later found out his respiratory system, liver and kidneys were on the point of failing, and looking back said he was "probably two or three hours off departing this planet".

The after-effects are serious, wide-ranging and long-lasting." He is recovering with characteristic humour - his walking aide he's called "Sticky McStickstick"- and a huge sense of a debt owed to all those in the NHS who saved his life and now nursing him back to health. He says he's been overwhelmed by how his wife and family "hung on in hope" over those 7 long weeks - and has a message for Kate about Derek.

We are also joined live by two of the therapists from St Pancras Hospital who have helped Michael during his recuperation.
