COVID-19 is crashing many countries' public heath systems. Even highly developed countries like Germany, the UK and Italy are facing huge shortages of personnel and protective gear.

Jupp Koerschner is a German nurse fighting COVID-19 on the front line. Since the outbreak began, he has not been able to spend time with his family for fear of passing the virus to them. He regularly checks his temperature and monitors himself for possible symptoms of COVID-19 due to the many patients he treats on a daily basis. Germany, which has the resources to win the battle against COVID-19, is still facing difficulties handling the virus, which has made people realize that this war cannot be won by a single country – solidarity is the key.
