I'm trying to be proactive in anticipation of what my patients, colleagues, and family will need to get through this safely, because the greatest tool we have is our common humanity.

I'm advising all healthcare professionals to remember our own self-care. I highly recommend watching an escapist movie like @FordvFerrari or @LittleWomen before bedtime.

Take care of your teams. We can't take care of patients if we don't take care of each other. Host video chats to see each other, connect, and #ShareUncertainty. It doesn't feel as scary when you know you're not alone.
