Hi Rick, Glad to hear your son got through it in one piece. It must be very worrying for you all at the front line, and I read every day of doctors and nurses succumbing to it.
It is a very heroic effort. Over here I think the NHS will be politically untouchable for a generation once this is over. At least, I hope so. Over there I hope it brings a realisation that there is a place for a decent healthcare system that supports everybody in society.
