A rare glimpse inside the isolation ward of a Chinese hospital, where a caregiver, in full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is seen feeding a fully conscious H5N1 patient.
A picture, they say, is worth a thousands words. Notice the extent of the caregiver's protective gear. This hospital is obviously taking such measures very seriously.
Hat tip Niman on Flutrackers for posting these remarkable pictures.
