To all airway management personnel:
❗This is the post-normal era. There are NO MORE emergency intubations.
❗Proper donning of PPE takes time. SLOW = SAFE.
❗You are a precious resource. Do not risk getting exposed.
❗Start training your backups.

To date, UAB has 45 confirmed cases of #COVID19. Evidence is overwhelming that there is rapid community spread of the virus. Do your part to stop the spread: social distance, wash your hands/sanitize surfaces frequently — & STAY HOME & AVOID OTHERS.
