Now a video reportedly from China is going viral, exemplifying the strain doctors are going through.

We cannot verify if what came out of the suit was actually sweat or an elaborate prank where it was just water. However, the clip has gone viral and people seem to be believing it to be true.

Sometime ago an image, reportedly of doctor¡¯s hands after using gloves for over 10 hours, went viral.

The image showed a doctor¡¯s wrinkled hands after a 10-hour shift in protective gear and is another one that highlights the difficulties frontline healthcare workers are facing.

IAS officer Awanish Sharan shared the picture on Twitter with the caption, ¡®This is the hand of a doctor after removing his medical precautionary suit and gloves after 10 hours of duty. Salute to the frontline heroes¡¯.

Back in March, when healthcare workers, especially in countries like Italy were under tremendous strain, doctors shared images of their bruised faces which were a result of wearing protective gear.

Alessia Bonari, a nurse from Tuscany, Italy, took to Instagram and shared an image of her forehead and cheeks covered in red splotches from where her protective mask dug into her skin. ¡®I am physically tired because the protective devices are bad, the lab coat makes you sweat and once dressed I can no longer go to the bathroom or drink for six hours,¡¯ she wrote in the caption.

Sono i un'infermiera e in questo momento mi trovo ad affrontare questa emergenza sanitaria. Ho paura anche io, ma non di andare a fare la spesa, ho paura di andare a lavoro. Ho paura perch¨¦ la mascherina potrebbe non aderire bene al viso, o potrei essermi toccata accidentalmente con i guanti sporchi, o magari le lenti non mi coprono nel tutto gli occhi e qualcosa potrebbe essere passato. Sono stanca fisicamente perch¨¦ i dispositivi di protezione fanno male, il camice fa sudare e una volta vestita non posso pi¨´ andare in bagno o bere per sei ore. Sono stanca psicologicamente, e come me lo sono tutti i miei colleghi che da settimane si trovano nella mia stessa condizione, ma questo non ci impedir¨¤ di svolgere il nostro lavoro come abbiamo sempre fatto. Continuer¨° a curare e prendermi cura dei miei pazienti, perch¨¦ sono fiera e innamorata del mio lavoro. Quello che chiedo a chiunque stia leggendo questo post ¨¨ di non vanificare lo sforzo che stiamo facendo, di essere altruisti, di stare in casa e cos¨¬ proteggere chi ¨¨ pi¨´ fragile. Noi giovani non siamo immuni al coronavirus, anche noi ci possiamo ammalare, o peggio ancora possiamo far ammalare. Non mi posso permettere il lusso di tornarmene a casa mia in quarantena, devo andare a lavoro e fare la mia parte. Voi fate la vostra, ve lo chiedo per favore.
