“It’s hard to find the 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.
“The reason in the end 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.”
“The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it.
“Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past.”
