In the middle of a row of unconscious coronavirus patients, Maria Roessen is a rare and wondrous sight.

The 66-year-old is dressed in a pale blue hospital gown and sitting perched up in a chair in Sunshine Hospital’s intensive care unit under a bubble-shaped plastic hood with monitors attached to her chest and a tube hanging under her nose.

She is weary-eyed, ashen faced and wearing a pair of bright orange and white socks.

“It’s been hell,” she says, pausing to take another deep, wheezy breath. “I thought I was going to my maker.”

As Victorians revel in newfound freedom following the world’s longest lockdown, behind the sealed off doors at the hospital’s COVID-19 ICU unit, the care is relentless.
