Covid-19: Teenager Joseph Flavill wakes from coma with no knowledge of pandemic

A teenager who woke from a 10-month long coma has no knowledge of the coronavirus pandemic, despite being infected with the virus twice.

Joseph Flavill is still recovering in hospital after being hit by a car last March - shortly before the first lockdown.

His family say the 19-year-old's condition is slowly improving.

His aunt Sally Flavill Smith told BBC News that it was something “we’ve been hoping for every day during lockdown.”
