He created subsequent posts, some of which were videos. In these posts, he advocated for people to not underestimate the severity of the virus and to follow the guidelines of the government.
Pastor Tweets 'Jesus Is My Healer' After Surviving Coronavirus
"If you get coronavirus and you have to go into the intensive care unit, that means you are going to struggle to breathe, you could go on a ventilator, so please listen to all the advice of the government,” he said.
I have Coronavirus I have spent the last week fighting for my life in ICU. I wanted to share personal video about how deadly and dangerous this is. Can you help me retweeting this out. We must protect our amazing NHS staff. #coronavirus #Covid19 1/2 pic.twitter.com/UKFYsPEkh7

Despite the scary experience, Mark recovered from the illness. Upon his release from Ulster Hospital, Mark thanked people online for their prayers, thanked the staff, and of course had Jesus to thank.
“Jesus is my healer,” he said in his post.
