What?
Well, that's jet travel.
So the whole idea of somehow what goes on in Africa or what goes on in Asia, I mean, we should have learned by this time that it's going to affect us.
You cannot simply dismantle everything and say, well, we're going to withdraw from the world so we don't have to deal with these things anymore.
Right.
Sorry, that doesn't work.
The other problem, I think, is also the connections.
When we do things like pull the funding from mosquito control, that's a problem because, you know, mosquitoes are notorious vectors for a whole variety of diseases.
And we've seen them, some of them end up in the United States and diseases we haven't seen in decades, you know.
So again, this is all an issue right now where I do think if we get the right leadership that's willing to come together and start talking about coalitions,
and talk about what we can do regionally, what we can do with cross-state compacts, whatever it may be, I think that is better than sitting there staring into the headlights.
Look, you know, I mean, this is unprecedented for many of us at this point in time.
But you go back through your history in the last hundred years, we've been through a lot.
People have been through tough times, two world wars, the worst pandemic in modern times in the 1918 era.
You know, we've been through tough times.
We can do this.
We can do this.
We can get through this one.
And, you know, I know hope is not a plan, but hope keeps you moving toward the plan.
And, you know, getting up and doing, as somebody used to say in Minnesota, get up and do what needs to be done.
