One of around 200 health professionals protest at the entrance of the Nurse Isabel Zendal Hospital as officials entered the state-of-the-art facility, built in 100 days at a cost of 100 million euros (119 dolllars), twice the original budget in Madrid, Spain, Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Authorities in Madrid held a ceremony to open part of a 1,000-bed hospital for emergencies that critics say is no more than a vanity project, a building with beds not ready to receive patients and unnecessary now that contagion and hospitalizations are waning. Spain has officially logged 1.6 million infections and over 45,000 deaths confirmed for COVID-19 since the beginning of the year. Message on mask reads “Public heath service”.
