'The day we were able to hear his voice was incredible'

Sue Martin tells the story of her husband Mal's recovery from Covid-19

In April 2020, Sue Martin told Mishal Husain how her husband Mal had contracted Covid-19 and his chances of survival were almost zero. Three months later, against all odds, after 61 days on a ventilator and 80 days in ICU, Mal is possibly coming home this week. Sue spoke to Mishal again to explain what has happened to their family since the first interview and the impact of an unexpected public reaction to her family's heartache.
