The last time there was a truly bad dust storm (worse than this one), students were passing out the surgical masks in the school cafeteria, and outside in the garden, students paced (no doubt memorizing important points from lectures for their finals) with them on making campus look a bit like Taipei City during the SARS attack. Ironically, that was the week that the university had scheduled all its interviews with faculty candidates from overseas. I wonder what they were thinking when they arrived on campus to the strange sight of stressed and pacing masked students - most stressed because of exams, but a few because they were worried as they had noted a shortage of surgical masks in Erbil.(Could they have been serious?)
Anyway, you will be happy to notice that there is no shortage this time. Masks are readily available at the cardboard box across from the governate building.
If you look carefully, you will see two happy customers threading through the traffic sporting their new purchases.
