TOLO is a news site that covers lots of Afghanistan stories. It was featured on the Rachel show and appears to be an objective news org, still allowed to publish/broadcast, at least for now.

But at least someone is trying to report on them.

I suspect their healthcare system was emerging. But now it's probably lost some of the best and brightest fleeing the country. Especially women medical personnel.

Oh well in China only .0066% of the population has had it. I really don't believe that...
