Covid got me like Psyduck...

​Anyone feeling like this Psyduck right now? I am. 

All my hospital colleagues have been working hard to prepare for the anticipated wave of COVID patients that will hit our ICUs. 

Amidst all this chaos, I am also inspired by how quickly we have banded together to fight this virus, stretching our resources across Canada (Thank you to the CSHP COVID-19 PSN!) and even reaching for “lessons learned” in other countries and incorporating them into our pandemic preparation. 

​I know we will make many sacrifices in this process, and through sweat and tears, we will succeed. 

A few resources that I use currently:
​

1. Real-time COVID-case tracker: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/coronavirustracker/
2. CSHP COVID-19 PSN (free for non-members too!): https://qid.io/lounge#/
3. ASHP released their Critical Care Pharmacy Course online for free (for non-ICU pharmacists who, like me, will need to be redeployed to potentially provide coverage in critical care: http://elearning.ashp.org/products/7612/critical-care-pharmacy-review-course-pract-exam-and-core-therapeutic-modules-package-cert-l199186
4. Detailed guideline of broad Critical Care Management Principles by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (non-pharm management included): https://www.sccm.org/Research/Guidelines/Guidelines/Surviving-Sepsis-Campaign-Guidelines-on-the-Manag
5. SHS-UHN’s COVID-management pathway including information on accessing Remdesivirhttps://www.antimicrobialstewardship.com/covid-19
