THIS is the haunting moment a dying Covid patient, 73, desperately begged to see wife again, hours before losing his fight against the killer bug.<\/p>\n

Key Worker Tony Brown died in Barnet Hospital, London after spending weeks in hospital hooked up to a ventilator <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Thursday the bread delivery man told Sky News he had not seen his wife Linda in a fortnight.<\/p>\n

He said: "Absolutely terrible. It's very, very frightening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI've had some very bad nights, very worrying nights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTwice I went to ring my wife, to tell her I weren't coming back. It is very hard."<\/p>\n

\u00a0"Oh I miss her. I really miss her.<\/p>\n

"But I hope to one day. Hopefully, I will. That's all I want now. I don't want anything else in life."<\/p>\n

Mr Brown believed he had caught the virus while at work and blamed people for not wearing masks and ignoring social distancing.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He said: "If people would have taken a lot more care when this come out and hadn't ignored it, we wouldn't be such a mess we're in.<\/p>\n

"We wouldn't have had so many deaths, so many people who are critically ill. And the NHS are fantastic, brilliant."<\/p>\n

He added: "We just all hope that we will live, and come out of it."<\/p>\n

By Friday Mr Brown had died, but had managed to speak to his wife over the phone.<\/p>\n

Yesterday a record 4,000 Brits were fighting for their lives on ventilators amid fears that the Covid death rate could grow even further.<\/p>\n

More people are using ventilators now – 4,076 – than during the peak of the first wave of the virus last year.<\/p>\n

And UK Covid deaths grew by 610 but cases have dropped by 22 per cent in a week, with 30,004 new infections yesterday.<\/p>\n

The drop in cases continues a downward trend since the latest lockdown was introduced, but deaths have risen 11 per cent in the last week.<\/p>\n
