Gilbert Barnedo – a Nurse in London, England – passed away on 11 April, 2020 due to COVID-19. Gilbert was 48 years old.
Barnedo had multiple sclerosis but despite this dedicated his life to helping others. A crowdfunder page set up for him reads: “He has been stable for so many years, however, recently he was blue lighted to the hospital for suffering with bilateral pneumonia and was later found out that he contracted Covid-19 which may have been the main cause of his rapid deterioration. He has fought very hard for many days, but eventually, his frail body was not able to take the disease full on. Shortly, he died of respiratory arrest.”
