Memorable Quote (from the book)
"Pandemics are not random acts of nature. They are the predictable result of how we live."
Translation (Sinhala):
"සංක්රමණය අහඹු ස්වභාවික ක්රියාවන් නොවේ ඒවා අපේ ජීවිත රටාවන්වල ප්රතිඵල වේ."
Translation (Tamil):
"பாண்டமிக்கள் இயற்கையின் தற்செயல் செயல்கள் அல்ல அவை நம்மை சார்ந்த வழிகளின் விளைவாகும்."
