Over the last year thousands of NHS workers have saved our lives and provided round the clock care, and it’s time we all said a big Thank You!
Over the past year the Coronavirus has spread throughout the nation, causing many people to become very ill or isolated. The virus caused us to go into lockdown, making us shut our doors and keep the world out. People had to come up with new routines and methods of working from home, going to school through home learning and still carry out our jobs, keeping companies and businesses running. Yet even with all of these rules, thousands of people have gotten sick and many have died. And so, thousands of people who work for the NHS have put their lives at risk to provide round-the-clock care to those in need. Thousands of lives have been saved because of those who have helped get the virus under control and made our lives happier and healthier.
Hundreds of thousands of people have owed their lives to the NHS, and Covid 19 has proven just how much they mean to us. As a sign of appreciation, hundreds of children have drawn rainbows and put them in their windows to show how much we care. On Thursdays at 8:00pm we all went outside to clap for our carers and our heroes. Now, we have been through a whole year of Covid and we are finally getting the vital vaccines we waited so long for. Some people regret that the Coronavirus happened, but some people say it has brought out the best in the world and we have seen the best of the community. On May 17th indoor spaces will be opened and as of this week outdoor spaces will be opened. This is because NHS staff and volunteers have helped with testing, giving out vaccines, and providing essential treatment for patients. We owe them so much and the coronavirus outbreak has proven that time and time again that they are the heart of the nation.
To this day a massive 1.3 million people work for the NHS including volunteers, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, paramedics, radiographers, support workers, dentists, pharmacy staff, midwives and healthcare scientists, all doing their part to make our lives happier and healthier. Around 835,000 people visit GPs each day and around 50,000 people visit the Accident and Emergency department every day. We owe everything to them, and that’s why they’re so important. Thank You NHS!!
