@DalilSuraya @DalilSuraya I am hoping to talk to you about an article I’m writing for @ForeignPolicy on Afghanistan’s covid situation. Would be a privilege to include your thoughts. Is there a way we can get in touch this week to speak on phone or zoom? Thanks! Ramadan Kareem!

"Heroic acts become expected of them and the traumatization endured is seen as part of the self-sacrifice. The pain and fear of those on the medical front lines are thus lost in the 7 p.m. cheers."

A good reminder from @jalalbaig that the pandemic's cost is far from over.
