PROJECT 19

Concentric War Epidemic - Life and Death Strike Synopsis: When the pandemic first broke out, doctors of all specialities went to the frontline to support voluntarily at once. Some of them were already in their 70s and 80s, but they were committed to saving lives as a lifelong duty. In order to save limited personal protection equipment (PPE), doctors and nurses worked for 10-12 hour shifts without eating, drinking or even going to the toilet. Although their faces and hands were left with painful red marks due to the prolonged wearing of PPE and repeated use of disinfectants, they were still working as long as they could and were doing everything to save the patients.
