“Even if a disease is detected, governments may be reluctant to publicly acknowledge a potential epidemic for fear of disrupting public order and drawing negative international attention. The economic risk of reporting a disease outbreak—such as bans on trade and travel—is enough for governments to defer acknowledging a public health crisis.” *cough* *china* *cough*

Spontaneously picked it up after rewatching the first movie.. let’s see where this journey will take us!

Only in iraqi novels, a young guy gets killed, suddenly, by a random explosion, and no one doubts how normal it is.
Shonda Rhimes would have enjoyed writing an Iraqi version Grey’s Anatomy. sixteen seasons aren’t half enough to cover the drama! characters could be killed off anytime, and the immigration card is ready if she liked the actors enough and preferred a decent end to the character they played!

“My life was narrated for me by others. Their voices were forceful, emphatic, absolute. It had never occurred to me that my voice might be as strong as theirs.”
