Then she slipped her arms into a surgical gown and snapped on white rubber gloves, finally ready to enter the Covid-19 wing.⁠ ⁠ Suazo is not a nurse. She is a cafeteria worker at a kindergarten in Venezuela’s capital.⁠ ⁠ But she is also a loving daughter; her 76-year-old father, sick with the virus, waited inside. And in this ruined country, the only way to ensure that he received the care he needed was to do it herself — regardless of the dangers to her own health.⁠ ⁠ “You do everything you can in the name of love,” said Suazo, 47. “If that person is your blood relative, you don’t even hesitate.”⁠ ⁠ Hospitals across the once wealthy South American nation lack enough doctors and nurses to confront the coronavirus pandemic. As thousands of trained health care workers emigrated in recent years, some hospital wings have closed. Others keep operating, but with high caseloads.⁠ ⁠ The shortage leaves families rushing to fill the void at facilities that treat the poor, like José Gregorio Hernández Hospital, which sits in the middle of a sweeping Caracas barrio.
