| Abstract: | We read with interest the article by Grünebaum et al. Professionally Responsible Counseling About Birth Location During the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020) and we would like to share with you our experience in North Italy. In the current war against the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare professionals have become the frontliners in the defense against the enemy’s attacks, and the victims are “exposed” with photos of defenseless bodies lying in agony in hospital beds. As Italy is overcoming the first wave of the infection peak, it’s time for reflection. There is still a long way to go, and we are yet unable to imagine an end. |
