Just met a fellow dog-walker this morning, who’s an anaesthesiologist at a local hospital - Leeds ICUs are filling up with COVID patients again.

Learnt something new about COVID from her - COVID patients (even non-ICU) with no previous history of kidney problems are suffering from medium to severe kidney damage, requiring dialysis - this is a challenge, as the system is set up to cater for around 6,500 new patients needing dialysis a year, and it’s looking like it will be 10s of thousands in the very near future.
