Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has required us to recognize a new normal and other additions to our general and clinical vocabulary. Some were preexisting terms that now have been broadened or changed during these unprecedented times. Others have helped to bring to light some of the issues or difficulties that healthcare professionals faced prior to this pandemic.

Keywords: COVID-19; collaboration; dying alone; essential workers; granular data; healthcare disparities.
