No matter what we look like, or where we come from, getting sick and needing care reminds us that at our core we're all just human.
Today, we're counting on the nurses and doctors, store clerks and service providers, who are working through incredible sacrifice to ensure we can have what we need to get and stay well.
And we're counting on you. On the experts and researchers who are looking for the cure we so desperately need.
Right now more than ever, every single person's health depends on the ability of everyone else to get and stay well. We cannot prevent, detect and recover from this pandemic if anyone is denied the ability to do so.
A lifesaving drug cannot work if you cannot afford to take it.
Today, you have a choice: to be part of ensuring every single life is of equal value or to prop up a system that puts health up for sale only to the highest bidder.
The investors that own your company - bankers and fund managers that are as far from your laboratories as we are - are demanding to know what “commercial strategy” companies working on a Covid19 cure are pursuing.
As innovators and creators, as parents and siblings, as partners and people -- please put our health before shareholder returns and make any treatment freely available to any and all.
COVID-19 has called on us all to stand with and for each other. We call on you today -- to join us -- the millions of people around the world who are coming together to look after each other even as we must remain physically apart.
