Changes

In addition to human and material resources, another actor that played a crucial role during the first wave of the pandemic shall be mentioned: solidarity. It came from different sources, sometimes driven from above by public and private organisations, sometimes from within society itself, either individually or in groups. It would be preposterous to assess whether the resources that existed prior to the pandemic were proportional to the challenge this new situation presented. It is worth noting that the scale and severity of the impact was very difficult to foresee, so it was necessary to optimise all available resources and to be very diligent in providing new ones in extremely difficult times. It shall be noted that the public authorities and Spanish society in general responded to the challenge of the pandemic with the forces available at the time and with an extraordinary spirit of solidarity.
