Abstract
The spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) urged a never-seen coordinated global response to prepare the health system, including primary care, hospital facilities and intensive care units (ICUs). Lessons have been learned from countries who suffered the pandemic at the beginning, helping the ones which are on different phases of the spreading curve. Currently, optimizing intensive care resources is mandatory as admittance to the ICUs remains rising exponentially. While public and private health system struggle for changing the slope of the curve, intensivists prepare the facilities for a tsunami of respiratory failure patients with COVID-19.[SUP]1[/SUP].
