The pandemic has shown us that there is no health without health workers.
疫情向我们表明，没有医疗工作者，就没有健康。
I was specially touched in Madrid yesterday by a speech given by a nurse called Aurora Lopez. I want to read you some of what she said. I quote:
昨天在马德里，一位叫欧若拉·洛佩兹的护士发表了一个特别令我感动的讲话。我想读一些她说的话。她说：
“We have given it our all. We have worked to the brink of exhaustion. And once again we have understood - maybe better than ever - why we chose this profession: to care for people and to save lives.
“We have been the messengers of the last goodbye to older people who died alone, hearing their children's voices on the telephone. We have made video calls, we have held their hand and we have had to fight back the tears when someone said ‘Don't let me die alone.’”
One of the other speakers at yesterday's memorial was Fernando Hernandez Calleja who lost his brother to COVID-19. I want to finish by quoting him. This is what he said:
“More than kindness, more than love, compassion is the emotion that most makes us human. Compassion allows us to understand the pain of others, their thwarted aspirations, their sadness. That's why I'm asking today for your compassion.”
