I'd like to thank you all for the appreciation you've shown and the thanks you've given me for the work we've done during this crisis.
I was involved with the SARS crisis a good few years ago as were many of my colleagues so we've not started from square one during the Covid outbreak. However, I'm surrounded by young researchers daily that have proved to have exceptional talent and have made tremendous contributions into aspects of research into this virus. I take great pride in their ability and they are a credit to both their respective universities and parents during this unprecedented crisis. I have taken steps to ensure their contributions will not be forgotten.
Rest assured, we are beating this virus bit by bit and are learning more about it as every day passes. In the meantime, we really do need to continue to abide to government guidelines.
