The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced frontline health care teams to make radical and rapid adjustments. Aside from the danger of catalysing and integrating, the crisis provides an opportunity to rediscover the very essence of the art of caring: an ability to be present for oneself, for others and for the world. This pandemic is shattering everyone's comfort zones, on the social, professional, psychological and ethical level. It is reviving our profound humanity, imposing with humility coordinated actions, while allowing a degree of subsidiarity in the adjustments.
