The anthropologist amidst and beyond:notes on temporalities of COVID-19Three weeks ago, I was still doing participant observation at the Charité Berlin, one of Germany's oldest and best-known hospitals.As part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging medicine, psychology and public health at the gynaecological outpatientdepartment, we developed an online-based counselling tool for so-called BRCA1/2mutation carriers -a genetic predisposition that influences women's risks of developing different types of cancer.My job was to accompany counselling sessions both with and without the digital tool, interview patients afterwards and focus on changes in the interaction between medical staff and patients due to the introduction of a new digital tool.I was thoroughly engaged in the processes of field research.Now, I cannot enter the Charité, even if I tried, as I am not medical staff -I am an anthropologist.The newly placed security guards at the entrance would likely check and stop me.All clinical research activities at the Charité have been suspended.One of the doctors I work with described her current situation as 'awkward waiting': waiting for a catastrophe to hit the Berlin hospitals, but which has yet to come.The metaphor of an approaching tsunami seems to infuse the hospital environment.'We are experiencing governmental disaster management without the disaster having already occurred in full...', 1 commented German sociologist, Andreas Reckwitz, on the governmental prospective risk management protocol
