    I am going to write a series of blogs about my situation: what I'm seeing, my thoughts and my fears on the coronavirus, personally and professionally. I am a critical care outreach nurse one day a week and for the rest of the time I work non-clinically for the charity Patient Safety Learning.  My personal situation will not be unlike many. I have worries just like you – money, job, health, kids, elderly relatives (my parents will kill me for saying that!), food… It is important to capture our stories, no matter who you are or what you do. The impact of the coronavirus is widespread. It is affecting our daily lives and our future.

In this Editorial in the BMJ, Trisha Greenhalgh and colleagues discuss how appropriate video consultations are for dealing with the coronavirus crisis and what are the challenges of scaling up this model at speed.

    Professor Tim Cook and Dr Kariem El-Boghdadly discuss in this blog the challenges the coronavirus presents to healthcare services. Central to the care of patients with coronavirus is staff safety. In the early stages, patients will need to be isolated from other patients and, as the epidemic progresses, they will need to be cohorted away from non-infected patients. Staff protection will require a system that includes, but is not restricted to, strict use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Use of PPE, using a buddy system to ensure this is optimised and engaging in low patient contact methods will need to become second nature for all healthcare workers. Anaesthetists and intensivists are highly invested in this topic because airway management, including tracheal intubation, is associated with some of the highest risks of transmission of infection. PPE is likely to be effective, so too are simple methods of decontamination of surfaces, equipment and ourselves with soap and alcohol-based cleaning processes.
