Encounter with Mr. Nury Televaldi

Earlier during the day in the People's Republic of Tibet, in Lhasa, I met with a man named Mr. Nury Televadi in a crowded sidewalk cafe. Mr. Televaldi was an importer of valuables and people and his life was changed by the outbreak. Mr. Televaldi metioned that there was an outbreak in the town of Kashi and this was the main reason began to flee China. Kashi was a rapidly growing town with about ninety percent leaving by air travel. Mr. Televaldi more specificly worked in the land smuggling buisness and he worked with upper class people who would simply just vanish out of the public. Air smuggling began to be more dangerous because the government's of some countries would go as far as killing citizens that were caught. After Flight 575, restrictions began to be more tightened and fewer peope were coming through. Some people transported were infected, some were not, but if they were infected it was the early stages and these were all seen after Flight 575. People were afraid of calling doctors because of the possiblity of being sent back to their home countries, so this was one of the ways infection was spread. Mr. Televaldi did not actually see many infected in the beginning of his duties, but as time progressed he gradually saw more infected citizens. These infected were not dangerous mainly because they were tied up and even sometimes locked up in crates. Mr. Televaldi then began to explain the dangers of sea smuggling, which were the possibilities of the infected contaminating the whole crew. From my interview, it seems that if the disease was isolated and not spread around by these smugglers, the outbreak would have died out or not spread quickly. I would have liked to known how the infection started in Mr. Televaldi's town of Kashi.
