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.

I'm sure they have more cases and it's low due to lack of testing...
In the USA, 11.4% of the population has had it. Afghanistan only .38%

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