Part 2 goes to Pakistan, where a large gathering of Tablighi Jamaat faithful in Raiwind as well as returning pilgrims from Iran accounted for a large proportion of Pakistan's first wave of cases in mid-2020. With its weak healthcare system and constant pressure from the conservative clerics who may resist lockdowns and pressure on gatherings, Pakistan faces a lot of pressure in trying to keep the pandemic under control. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WjTDYQj17-tIzdiSxeA9lrwbEBHKV085c0zME1ZDd_g/edit
