British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returned to work Monday after leaving the Intensive Care Unit earlier this year while stricken with the Coronavirus; saying the United Kingdom is currently at “maximum risk” of a second wave of the deadly disease.
“I’m sorry I’ve been away from my desk for much longer than I would have liked,” said Johnson, 55
“If this virus were a physical assailant, an invisible and unexpected mugger, which I can tell you from personal experience it is, then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor,” he told reporters.
“I know there will be people looking at our apparent success and begin to wonder whether now is the time to go easy on those social distancing measures,” he said.
“And yet we must also recognize the risk of a second spike, of losing control of that virus and the letting the reproduction rate going back over one. Because that would not only be a new wave of death and disease but an economic disaster, and we would be forced once again to slam on the brakes on the while country and the whole economy.”
