clinic in Monrovia and an Ebola survivor
57. "Ebola is a disease that divides husband and wife, mother and
child, doctor and patient. Health care workers in protective
gear that look like space suits attend to patients. Men with
chlorine spray-cans take away bodies. Families aren't given
the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones. Because the
virus is transmitted through touch, it overrides the basic
human need for contact and connection.
In this picture, health care workers hold hands and pray
before doing the risky work of entering an Ebola isolation
ward. They find a way to connect despite the layers of latex.
No one wants to be alone when facing Ebola. I'm not a
religious person. At times like this though, there's little to do
but hold hands and pray for each other.“
