BBC News - Coronavirus: Boris Johnson says 'it could have gone either way'

And Mr Johnson had some very kind words to say about hospital staff to treated him :

"Mr Johnson, 55, was taken to London's St Thomas' Hospital on Sunday - 10 days after testing positive for Covid-19.

He spent three nights in intensive care before returning to a ward on Thursday.

He said in a video on Twitter that he had witnessed the "personal courage" of hospital staff on the front line.

Mr Johnson said two nurses - Jenny from New Zealand and Luis from Portugal - stood by his bedside for 48 hours at the most critical time and named several other hospital workers who cared for him this past week that he wanted to thank.

He said NHS workers "kept putting themselves in harm's way, kept risking this deadly virus".

"It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable," he said."

I hope this experience can help the Prime Minister better understand the situation and the patient's experiences.

" The statue of Christ the Redeemer was illuminated with the image of a doctor in a lab coat, and the word "thank you"in different languages, in honor of the professionals who are at the forefront of fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

During the screening, on the evening of Sunday (12), the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Cardinal Orani João Tempesta, performed an Easter act in the famous tourist spot in Rio, asking for protection against Covid-19.

In the afternoon, Father Omar, rector of the Christ the Redeemer Shrine, blessed the city by helicopter. At the same time, the church bells were ringed. "

Not making this up - just found a news report on the Brazilian Globo news site.

In Colombia, people not respecting local Quarantine ordinances are getting half an hour attached to this medieval looking device. According to local authorities, it's been effective - much better than fines which they wouldn't be able to pay.

This morning I was remembering attending Mass last Easter at the wonderful Igreja de Santa Maria dos Olivais, the #Templar church in Tomar, Portugal.

Tomar was Templar's main site in Portugal, and they had an impressive Castle at the top of a mountain, still there. #xp #History

Seen in New Zealand.
