CPE
Jake Nichols, PharmD, MBA
The coronavirus pandemic has changed life as we knew it. The emergence of a virulent pathogen that we didn’t initially understand forced us to quickly reduce our daily interactions, and we were therefore asked to stay home as much as possible and go out only when necessary. Young people were introduced to remote learning, and many of our workplaces immediately transitioned to virtual meetings. Health care facilities were required to reduce capacity and eliminate “nonessential” services while treating large numbers of patients with COVID-19. ICUs filled up quickly with those who had severe disease. At times, we were forced to ration health care when beds were not available.
