Venezuelans Brave COVID Wing To Bathe, Feed Sick Loved Ones-The Associated Press

Leaning against a hospital wall for balance, Elena Suazo wiggled each foot into blue protective pants. Then she slipped her arms into a surgical gown and snapped on white rubber gloves, finally ready to enter the COVID-19 wing.Suazo is not a nurse. She is a cafeteria worker at a kindergarten in Venezuela’s capital. But she is also a loving daughter; her 76-year-old father, sick with the virus, waited inside. And in this ruined country, the only way to ensure that he received the care he needed was to do it herself -- regardless of the dangers to her own health. The Associated Press, 10/27/2020
