Not Just Crew S1 E5 Covid-19 Special: Matt Dockray Surivor.

Not Just Crew Covid-19 Special: Matt Dockray (Survivor) Warning: A small amount of bad language. When lock-down first became a "real thing" at the end of March 2020, because of Covid-19, and the weather was really glorious. I’m really not sure how many of us were taking it too seriously. Although it was lock down, I had just stared ten days leave and was in need of a rest. All I really knew about Covid-19 was that it was a killer, but as with most disasters, they always seem to be happening elsewhere in the world. The penny first drop for me when I saw my friend & colleague from Virgin Atlantic, Matt Dockray on Sky News seriously ill in a NHS ICU (intensive care unit) hospital after he put up a Facebook post Which went viral (no pun intended). Matt who had always kept himself fit and is an ex rugby league player, warned the world animation how seriously this virus had to be taken. Matt who is well on his way to a fully recovery joined us on Not Just Crew to tell us of his experience. Since leaving hospital he has made several media appearances including good morning Britain and then YouTube favourite lads Bible, and is currently writing his survivor story on a blog entitled, Ordinary survivor.  www.ordinarysurvivor.com Along with fellow hosts Alex Chisnell and Simon Costello. Matt spoke to us and was happy to take questions.  You’ll be able to see the visual version of this podcast on our YouTube Channel NOT JUST CREW!
