Or I'd be writing a check for several million dollars to purchase more supplies from around the world.
And it became...
one of our greatest moments, I would say, in our history coming together because none of us could have done this by ourselves.
And we needed to pull together as a collective entity to really look at this and make decisions.
And we were looked upon by our community as kind of giving them the real up-to-date daily view on the presence of this virus through the early days, through testing,
We looked at the prevalence.
We even have wastewater management sites, 39 of them, around the city where we actually test wastewater and we can tell you the presence of the virus or how many now multiple viruses in our community.
So it was a moment in time and now has been a year and a half of time where we've dedicated huge amount of resources and I don't see any end of it for some time, sadly.
because of the resistance of many not to get vaccinated.
So we still have this presence in our community and will for some time, but the fight goes on.
But it's been a very proud moment in history for the Texas Medical Center.
Yeah, well, you know, when I think of the heart of social capital are those links and shared values and understanding that enable people to trust one another.
And that's the cornerstone in which you do work together.
And that really took for us because remember each of these institutions worked independent from one another.
They don't share data with one another.
And so that was a real big accomplishment for us to allow them to give the data to the Texas Medical Center at the time.
And that trust really opened the door for many other opportunities of understanding.
And that really built the trust with each other because
With all of us sharing our data in real time and knowing how things were happening, people really didn't understand the depth of this problem.
And so I think what it allowed us to do when each of those institutions trusted themselves enough to give the data to us centrally and to see the benefits of it, that was really set a whole new tone in how we work together.
