                  Their eyes are tired, their cheekbones rubbed raw from protective masks, they don't smile. The doctors and nurses on the front line of the Coronavirus pandemic in Italy are almost unrecognizable behind their masks, scrubs, gloves and hairnets, the flimsy battle armor donned at the start of each shift as the only barrier to contagion. Associated press photographers fanned out on Friday to photograph them during rare breaks from hospital intensive care units in the Lombardy region cities of Bergamo, Brescia and Rome, in each case, doctors, nurses and paramedics posed in front of forest green surgical draps, the bland backdrop of their sterile wards.
