Well...

So the devil's always in the details.

It depends on the characteristics of the infectious disease agent.

They talk about the population, where that population is located, the type of infrastructure.

There's a lot of technical nuance because it's how healthy is the population?

What is the probability that they'll be exposed to something?

And then what are the likely transmission dynamics within that population?

And does it have the ability to go from a small isolated outbreak to an epidemic to a pandemic?

It wasn't real.

And the real crazy aspect of here is that once I'm promoted, I'm going to all these different meetings with the funders of the program.

So Dr. Dennis Carroll, who is the program manager, program director at USAID, who had a very close relationship with Dr. Peter Daszak.

And these fundraising events we're doing where we're telling everyone that we're going to forecast and predict

these emerging infectious diseases that can cause pandemics.

And I'm sitting in the audience and I'm watching my boss and these other people telling everyone that they're doing this.

And like I mentioned, if you look at the technical reports, it's just very clear that this is not technically possible.

It begs the question, you know, as me being an ethical person and a good scientist and engineer, what are we doing here?

Exactly.

And, you know, it gets sort of darker than that real quick.

Budgets.
