Abstract

In Argentina, the second wave of COVID-19, which started in May, clearly differentiates us from the rest of the Latin American countries, whose current growth may be the announcement of the expected autumn-winter expansion. There is a lot of uncertainty about how the pandemic will evolve, which contrasts with the expectations that had been generated in society after the end of the confinement, both of the control of the health system and access to effective vaccines. Thus, a group of surgeons in training raised a series of concerns concerning the critical situation that we are facing.
