A young man with Down syndrome who was given just 24 hours to live after contracting the CCP virus survived against the odds. Upon his release from the hospital, jubilant medical staff led him straight into the arms of his mother for an emotional reunion.
Thirty-four-year-old Ben McCafferty was admitted to Bradford Royal Infirmary in West Yorkshire on April 6, 2020. Ben’s stepfather, Neil Margerison, said he didn’t expect his son to survive the ordeal.
