The UK prime minister is now in intensive care.
There is no discrimination with this virus.
I have little regard for him as a politician, but neither do I discriminate in my sadness for any of the individuals and families losing a loved one at this time.
And so for him, and for every single person fighting for their lives in hospital right now, I pray for recovery, for a return to health, and that our NHS can - despite all the difficulties - be the lifeline needed at this time.
I have just spent an hour chatting to my friends - one of whom has been a whisker away from hospital admission. She is much better and there are slight signs of improvement in her husband after 12 days of illness.
such a pertinent image, helen. i share your view on b j as a politician, and also your concern for him and everyone else fighting this ghastly virus. and, once again, for all the health workers, and others, who are putting their safety on the line for all of us
The picture goes well with your day and its events. I have been praying for so many infected and suffering. It's good to hear that even though the improvements are small that your friends are getting better. Will keep praying...
It was good to read of your friends' improvements -- good news is getting harder to come by. Wonder if your PM will be a message for leaders around the world. We could certainly use better leadership in a lot of spots!
What a perfect picture to illustrate your day and your thoughts. I'm thankful for the improvements of your friends, and I'm hopeful we'll hear similar news for your prime minister. The roller coaster of emotions continues, and so do my prayers.
I agree with your thoughts about Boris. It's a thankless task for the governement to sort this mess out, they have made mistakes and bad calls for sure , but they are trying their best. One thing post Corona, they dare not break up the NHS
Good to hear about your friend and the slight signs of health improvement.
I love the reflection, it makes a lovely abstract.
