If Winston Churchill Had To Deal With Covid
(A piece inspired by the speeches of Winston Churchill)

The gratitude of every home in our Island and indeed throughout the world, goes out to the healthcare
professionals who, undaunted by the odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are
turning the tide of the pandemic by their prowess and devotion.
Never before was so much owed by so many to so few.
All hearts go out to the Doctors, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day; but we
must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, all our healthcare professionals
put themselves at risk, caring for the sick using all their skill, often under the hardest of conditions. On no
part of the NHS does the weight of the pandemic fall more heavily than those working in intensive care,
who play an invaluable part in the care of the most seriously ill.
We shall remember the efforts of our Teachers, our delivery drivers, and our Politicians.
We shall remember the other key workers, too many to name, but equally important.
We shall acknowledge the efforts of the community who have followed social distancing guidelines whilst
supporting their neighbours.
All have helped us through these difficult times.
