In this photo released by Chinese nurse Zhang Dan, she poses for a photo while working at the Tongji hospital in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020. Zhang was among the first to respond to the call for help in China's coronavirus epicenter. The 36-year-old nurse worked through grueling days, ministering to patients who needed assistance from breathing to merely eating. She struggled — but then, a little street dog helped her through.
