These days represent a time for loving, giving and spending time with our dearest and closest even the circle in many cases is just you and the closest beloved ones. Let’s celebrating the humanity that unites us and the curiosity that drives us forward. But while we celebrate this joyous season, we must not forget all who are taking care of the patients and our safety and all the people who struggle to get through another day. For those not so fortunate, I humbly ask you this holiday season to light one candle and become a flicker of hope, love and service that lights up the darkness. It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of such a challenging year. We hope we all emerge from this crisis with a sense of urgency and see it as an opportunity to make our societies more sustainable and inclusive.
While this holiday season is likely to be memorable in ways that we never could have imagined, I’m confident that, thanks to the rapid advances being made by medical research, we ultimately will get the COVID-19 pandemic under control so we can once again give everyone we love a big hug in person. Until then, please stay safe.
Let’s look forward to a brighter New Year and peace, prosperity, and above all good health,
Happy Holidays
