Today i met with Nurey Televaldi at a corwded sidewalk cafe. He talked to me about the smuggling of people since the outbreak began and how smuggling was not very popular before. I asked him if they knew what they were fleeing from. He replied "We'd heared rumors. But the government had hushed it up very quickly, so we guessed that nothing was wrong." I also asked if the government had tried to shut him down. He replied with Officially they did. They hardened the penalties on smuggling and security on the boarders were increased. They even executed a few people.I then asked him later on in our interview if he had seen any of the infected. He told me that he didn't in the beginning but later on in his route he began to come across more. He also said how they would load them up into ships and trucks. I asked him where they were headed. He replied " Kyrgyzstan."
