From one of the 5000 untested break-ins fans who watched with no ticket no doubt
- Piers, 56, said he believes he caught the Delta Covid variant at the final
- He has been wracked by fever, cold sweats, coughing, sneezing and aches
- Piers said 'This is definitely the roughest I've felt from any illness in my adult life'
'My confidence that the event would be 'covid safe' had disintegrated,' he
recalls, noting the masses of ticketless yobs breaching security.
'As I'm sure everyone who gets it feels, it's a strange, disquieting moment to
know I have this killer virus inside me,' he writes in tomorrow's Mail on
Sunday.
Doubled-jabbed with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, the former Good
Morning Britain presenter spoke to a respiratory expert who told him that no
current vaccine protects fully against infection with some of the new variants
but, crucially, they do all provide strong protection against hospitalisation or
death.
Piers describes how his body was wracked by fever, cold sweats, coughing,
sneezing and 'strange aches' – and, at one point, 'alarming' chest pains.
'I'm still here – unlike so many millions around the world who've lost their
lives to Covid in this pandemic,' he writes.
'For that, I owe a heartfelt debt of thanks to the brilliant scientists up in
Oxford who created the Astra-Zeneca vaccine with such astonishing speed.'
