An image showing a doctor wearing a protective suit from "Covid-19", while hugging an elderly patient on Thanksgiving Day, has spread widely through the Internet, and has become a symbol of the feelings of despair among the victims of the epidemic and the humanity of the treatment crew members.

The picture was taken, last Thursday, on Thanksgiving Day, when American families gather, inside the United Memorial Hospital, in Houston, Texas, by a photographer at Getty Images.

"I was in the (Covid-19) unit, and I saw this elderly patient outside his bed trying to leave, he was crying," the head of the intensive care department at the hospital, Doctor Joseph Farron, told CNN.

He added, "I approached him and asked him about the reason for crying, and he answered me (I want to be with my wife). Then I hugged him. He cried a little, but his condition improved and he stopped crying."

Varun noted that he was not aware of a photographer perpetuating this scene.

He indicated that the patient's condition had greatly improved, and that he could now be discharged from the hospital.
