Tired and exhausted, Queen Elizabeth said, speaking for the first time about her adventure with coronavirus. The 95-year-old monarch tested positive for coronavirus in February but has continued to carry out her duties, mostly from Buckingham Palace. The palace had announced that she had experienced "mild symptoms", as if she had a cold.
As the BBC reports, via teleconference, Queen Elizabeth recounted her experience today in a speech at the opening of a unit named after her at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. The monarch also heard the stories of medical staff, patients and employees.
Speaking to Assef Hussein, a patient hospitalised with coronavirus, and his wife, Queen Elizabeth said: "Coronavirus leaves you very tired and exhausted, doesn't it? It's a scary pandemic."
But Hussein also opened his heart to her, saying that he's had and is having a hard time after getting sick with Covid. He told her that he lost his brother and father to coronavirus and he currently uses a wheelchair and portable oxygen device.
