  4. We just do the best we can with what we have. There is no perfect situation, but try not to panic because you can die from a heart attack. I do believe that there are more coming.

  6. I think those instructions from ODPEM are dated. Who is this new manager? what's his background and training? A list of degrees? Or is he politically appointed? A friend of the ruling government?
