A Worcestershire father who spent 70 days in intensive care with Covid-19 says he feels like he's been given a "second chance at life".
Forty-three-year-old James Stevenson, from Kidderminster, was in hospital for 100 days after getting the virus in December.
At one point his condition got so bad doctors told his partner Kate to come in and "say goodbye".
Mr Stevenson is urging people under 50 to get vaccinated.
"I was having a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that I wasn't going to get home, so I'm over the moon," he said.
"Just thankful that I am here, I've got a second chance at life."
