Somewhere in Afghanistan: Taliban pledges not to kill healthcare workers as fear of a coronavirus spreads in Afghanistan | Daily Mail Online
The Taliban have pledged their readiness to cooperate with healthcare workers instead of killing them, as fear of a coronavirus epidemic spreads in Afghanistan.
Whatever reservations the militants previously held over eradicating the crippling disease, they have now clearly grasped the dangers posed by the pandemic sweeping the rest of the world.
In the past the military organisation have been accused of impeding the work of doctors.
'The Islamic Emirate via its Health Commission assures all international health organizations and WHO of its readiness to cooperate and coordinate with them in combating the coronavirus,' said Suhail Shaheen, the Taliban's spokesman, on Twitter, using the term the group uses to describe itself.

Gangs have posted messages across the favelas in Rio de Janeiro ordering residents to respect an 8pm curfew or face the consequences. “If the government won't do the right thing, organized crime will,” reads one painted notice.
While Civil Defense sirens sound three times a day in many areas across the favelas or slums, asking residents to self-isolate, the order from local criminal gangs to stay inside at night marks the most severe effort to combat the spread of Covid-19 in the beleaguered city slums.
“Attention all residents of Rio das Pedras, Muzema and Tijuquinha! Curfew from 8pm today. Whoever is seen on the street after this time will learn to respect the next one,” one threatening message reads.
“We want the best for the population. If the government does not have the capacity to fix it, organized crime will solve it,” reads another.
Brazil's government, or indeed Rio’s municipal government, has yet to impose a curfew.

Right. I'm totally lost now...
Any explanations? A Glitch in the Matrix? Collapse of the Space-Time Continuum?
Any other weird goings on you've seen lately?
