'Don't take any chances': warning of woman with Covid-19 shared online – The Guardian, Theguardian.com

A 90 – year-old woman who filmed herself after while being treated in hospital for coronavirus has urged the public to not take any chances amid the pandemic.

Tara Jane Langston, who lives in London, has been described as a healthy mother of two by her family before she contracted the coronavirus and became seriously unwell.

In a video, which has been widely shared on social media, Langston warned the British public to take the risks more seriously.

“If anyone is thinking of taking any chances, just take a look at me. I’m in the intensive care unit. I can’t breathe without this. They’ve had to sew that into my artery. I’ve got a cannula, another cannula and a catheter. I’m actually 10 times better than what I was before. I’ve lost count of the days.

“If anyone still smokes, put the cigarettes down because I’m telling you now, you need your fucking lungs,” she said.

Langston, who is lying on a hospital bed, is seen struggling to breathe and coughing in the video. “And please, none of you, take any chances. I mean it because if it gets really bad, then you’re going to end up here.

“My body is fighting this. I’ve not seen Richard, I’ve not seen the girls since Friday and I’m just going to fight this. So once again, don’t take any chances. ”

Her sister, Nicole Poppy Keatley, confirmed Langston was still in hospital after contracting the coronavirus. She said her sister had originally posted the video in a WhatsApp message that was later reshared on Facebook.

“One of the people she works with shared it. Never asked her or told her it went viral while she was in her hospital bed and didn’t know till the next day, ”she said.

Langston told the Daily Mail: “It’s like having glass in your lungs, it’s hard to explain, but every breath is a battle.

“It’s absolutely horrible and I wouldn’t want to go through anything like this ever again. I’d been ill for about five days before I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. ”

Langston said she was initially diagnosed with a chest infection and given antibiotics before she was taken to hospital.

Once the video went viral, there were many comments claiming it was fake. Keatley said she was ignoring the negative comments. “Everyone’s going to have an opinion or conspiracy theory.”
