We set out to cover a COVID-19 unit the same way we have reported from war zones: by planning our entry and exit strategy. The L.A. Times had already trained us and provided protective masks, disposable coveralls made of Tyvek, gloves and shoe covers. In them were extra shoes so we could bag the pairs we wore in the COVID unit before we returned home. Araiza took our pictures, which would hang over our protective suits so patients could see what we looked like under all the protective gear. One at a time, we unzipped the chamber at the entrance of the COVID unit and entered.
