Medical Personnel Taking a Nap
Description (Dublin Core)
It was March 18. All my finals were either canceled or optional. Although there were about only a thousand confirmed cases in the United States, after studying the patterns of confirmed cases in China and European countries like Italy, I decided to return to China, where the virus was under control in many aspects, especially compared to the United States at that time. I booked a ticket in the afternoon and flew at midnight that day -- this was how urgent it was for me, but most people did not realize the United States was actually at a high risk. All people arriving in China from abroad were required to be quarantined for 14 days. People were distributed based on their destinations. Every destination has an assigned shuttle to pick people up and transport them to a designated quarantine hotel. It was very late and I was waiting for the shuttle. I walked around, looking for a restroom and when I walked close to a medical personnel, he immediately woke up. It was very hot but he had no choice but to wear the protective suit. I couldn't believe he needed to wear it all day long. Every time thinking of this, respect comes out of my heart for the great efforts of Chinese people to control the virus.
I took this photo at 3:37am when I returned to China from the U.S.
Shenzhen, grateful, respect, China's effort
