Boris after hospital 2

good afternoon I've today left hospital after a
week in which the NHS has saved my life. no doubt about it
no question it's hard to find words to express my debt
but before i come to that i want to
thank everyone in the entire UK
for the effort and the sacrifice you have made
and are making. when the sun is out and the kids are at home
and the whole world seems at it's loveliest
and the whole world is so inviting
i can only imagine how tough it has been to
follow the rules on social distancing
i thank you because so many millions and millions of people
across this country have been doing the right thing
millions going through the hardship of self isolation
faithfully patiently and with thought and care for others
as well as for themselves
i do want you to know that this Easter Sunday
your efforts are worth it and are daily
proving their worth because
we mourn every day those that are taken from
us in such numbers and that the struggle
is by no means over we
are making progress in this incredible national battle
against cironavirus
a fight we never picked against an enemy we don't
entirely understand.
we're making progress in this national battle
because the British public
formed a human shield around this countries
greatest national asset
our national health service
we understood and we decided together
if we could keep our NHS safe
if we could stop our NHS from being overwhelmed
then we could not be beaten and this country
would rise together and overcome this challenge
as we have overcome so many challenges in the past
in the last seven days off course i have seen the pressure
that the NHS is under.
I've seen the personal courage not just of the doctors
and nurses but if everyone the cleaners the cooks the
health Care workers of every description physio's
radiographers pharmacists
who've kept coming to work kept putting themselves
in harm's way. kept risking this deadly virus
it is thanks to that courage that devotion
that duty and that love
that our NHS has been unbeatable.
i want to pay my own thanks to the utterly
brilliant doctors leaders in their fields
men and women several of them for some reason
called nick took some crucial decisions
a few days ago which i will be grateful for
for the rest of my life
i want to thank the many nurses men and women
who's care has been astonishing
I'm gonna get some names so please forgive me
but i want to thank polling and Shannon and
Emily and angel and Becky and Rachel and
Nicky and Ann and i hope they won't mind
if i mention in particular two nurses who
stood by my bedside for forty eight hours when things
could have gone either way.
Jenny from New Zealand on the North side
to be exact and Louis from Portugal near purto
and in the end the reason my body did start
to get enough oxygen was because for
every second of the night they were watching
and they were thinking and they were
caring and making the interventions
i needed so that is how i also know
 that across this country
twenty four hours a day that for every second of every day
there are hundreds of thousands of NHS stars
who are acting with the same care and thought
and precision as Jenny and Louis
that is why we will defeat this coronavirus
and defeat it together.
we will win because our NHS is the beating heart
of this country. it is the best of this country.
it is unconquerable. it is powered by love. so thank you
from me. from all of us to the NHS.
let's remember to follow the rules on
social distancing stay at home. protect our NHS
and save lives thank you and Happy Easter.
