boris after hospital

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.
