Dr. Kevin Tabb says this pandemic is a "crisis that is different than anything we& #39;ve ever dealt with... it& #39;s larger in scale... there& #39;s a bunch of different pieces to it."

Dr. Tabb says he has questions like most others: "How do we maintain the things we’re doing for longer?...And what’s next?... How long is this going to last? Is there a next wave, and what does it look like?"

Q: Are we - in Boston and MA - at the peak of cases of hospitalizations?
Dr. Tabb: "The rise is slowing... we don& #39;t know how long that plateau is going to last before we see a decrease.
...We will almost certainly have a prolonged plateau before we see a decrease."

Dr. Tabb: “We’re a week or more before we start seeing a decrease [in coronavirus cases].”

“The virus doesn’t respect hospital boundaries and it doesn’t respect health care boundaries.”

Dr. Tabb says we all need to continue working together to navigate those boundaries.

“It’s 100 percent a united front.”
