Dr Duncan Steed, a Christian Navy medic, tells us his coronavirus experience.
The day I came down with the coronavirus was shocking. I started to feel a bit rotten, thought I’d overdone it on my cycle ride. The next morning, I was drenched in sweat; I couldn’t move or bend the top half of my body. My temperature was 38.3C. I realised I had it.
Living on a Royal Navy base, I couldn’t self-isolate. I went into isolation in a separate building with 134 rooms, me and one other guy. I spent six days there. It was horrendous and claustrophobic. Food was delivered in a polystyrene box by someone in full PPE. I couldn’t even taste the food.
