The guy on the right isn’t close to being protected.
The photos are from a press photo op at Bellevue. To demonstrate how well prepared they are for Ebola. (There is still close to zero danger from Ebola to anyone riding a NYC subway IMO, but I also fear the danger to doctors and nurses just went up a notch or two.) I can see 5 or 6 things wrong with the equipment the guy on the right is wearing, just off the top of my head.
