Joana is a surgeon in Basel, Switzerland.

All her elective surgeries have been postponed. She now goes in to help out in the hospital in any way she can.

Sometimes it gets intense, like having lungs infected with COVID-19 exposed directly to her face.

And afterwards she comes home to her boyfriend who is quarantined, and part of a population that is at risk.

Scary? Yes.

But this conversation is also filled with humor and good spirits/

Joana discusses:

• ‘rescuing’ her boyfriend from France

• life in Switzerland before and after quarantine

• how the pandemic was downplayed in Switzerland for too long

• balancing her duties in the hospital with the risks in the current pandemic
