During normal times, Zhang, 32, is a taxi driver in this Chinese city of 11 million at the epicentre of the outbreak. Most of his passengers are poor, elderly residents who don’t have children or whose family is outside Wuhan and can’t come home because of the quarantine. Like other drivers, Zhang doesn’t get paid. Many Chinese have praised these volunteer drivers for donating their time and energy to help out their fellow residents. Many volunteer drivers say they have only one protective suit and a few pairs of glove that don’t even fit very well.
