Hey everybody, I'm Scott Hamilton, and I just wanted to reach out from the bottom of my heart with a message of gratitude for all of you and the job you're doing to treat all of these COVID patients that are fighting for their lives. You are on the front lines, and you've been incredible, amazing, and spectacular. From the ER to the ICU to first responders, you are saving and extending lives in such a dedicated fashion that I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. I have no words. I'm outside on a beautiful spring day because to me, in this bizarre period in our history, spring has always meant new growth, hope for the coming year, and I wish that for all of you. This too shall pass, not soon enough for any of us, but especially for you who are doing the lion's share of the work. I'm staying home, I'm being part of the solution, not the problem, and my heart and my prayers are with all of you as you do an enormous job not only fighting for these patients but for each other. You are doing amazing things for each other, and I want to thank you for that as well. So keep up the fight, keep up the great work, and I pray for a time when we can look back on all of this and just say well done. But right now I'm saying it: well done. Keep up the great work. My prayers are with you. God bless you all.
