The Prime Minister then gives a shout out to two nurses who helped him during his battle with the virus: “And I hope they won’t mind if I mention in particular two nurses who stood by my bedside for 48 hours when things could have gone either way. They’re Jenny from New Zealand in Invercargill on the South Island to be exact, and Louis from Portugal near Porto. And 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.”
