This caller told LBC his harrowing tale of Long-Covid and the impact it has had on his daily life.

"James, I work on the frontlines and I really want to warn people Covid-19 is dangerous. It nearly killed me back in April."

Phil called in during a debate about the on-going impact of Covid, he told LBC's James O'Brien that he thought some of the public were not taking coronavirus seriously enough.

Setting out his harrowing tale he said at the age of 39 he spent "four weeks in hospital, nearly dying."

Telling James the impact of Long-Covid the caller said: "Since then I've not been well at all, still breathless, chronic fatigue, I've had heart problems."

He revealed to LBC he has a constant tremor as well as pins and needles.

"James, people aren't scared of it, and they should be."

Phil said he is a father of three children, and while he is surviving he is still off sick and maybe worse he is unable to pay with his kids.

The caller said he thought medical works should spend more time emphasising "how dangerous this virus is."
