This is the last thing patients with severe cases of COVID-19 see before they die

[Chris Smith]

• A doctor recorded a short video to show people what coronavirus patients who develop severe cases of COVID-19 see and feel before they die.
• The clip went viral on social media, with the doctor urging people to wear masks and protect themselves to avoid having to fight for their lives in an intensive care unit.
• "This is what it looks like when you breathe 40 times a minute, have an oxygen level that's dipping well below 80. This is what it's going to look like," the doctor says, standing over a smartphone camera in full gear.

The global coronavirus death toll has nearly doubled since mid-October, with almost 13,000 deaths recorded on November 24th -- a new record. As the number of daily cases has been rising steadily in the past few weeks, so have fatalities. The US alone registered nearly 2,300 deaths on Wednesday, just a few hundred short of the previous records from March and April. Doctors are saving many more lives than in the first wave of the pandemic, thanks to several breakthroughs that have allowed them to introduce new treatment protocols in COVID-19 therapy. But as the number of cases goes to record highs regularly, the death toll will continue to climb.

A doctor who has treated hundreds of COVID-19 patients in the ICU and has seen dozens die fighting with the illness shared a video that quickly went viral on social media a few days ago. In the video, the physician simulated the last moments that patients with severe COVID-19 cases experience before they die.
