BBC, 16 Jan 2021

As of Friday 15 January, there are a record 37,282 Covid patients in UK hospitals, with just under 1 in 10 of them mechanically ventilated. Over the past seven days, over 1,000 new deaths a day have been reported.
The NHS and its doctors and nurses have never been under this sort of pandemic pressure.
In this special report, we take a look inside one of the NHS’ busiest hospitals in the epicentre of the second wave.
Newsnight’s Lewis Goodall reports.
