has residents who were on board that they are monitoring.

So potentially a rather dangerous situation, Crystal, but the World Health Organization, just before I, I'll toss it to you after we listen to a WHO outbreak expert here from the World Health Organization who says this is different from coronavirus, D4.

We'll get to that in just one second, how this may have transmitted.

But Crystal, Virginia, you're in one of the states affected here.

Yeah.

So I remember saying this, like right as things were starting to fall away, like we have not for the original restrictions and such from COVID were starting to fall away.

Like we didn't earn a reprieve from a pandemic.

Like we didn't earn another century, like with the Spanish flu to from 20, from, I'm sorry, from 1919 to 2020.

It's not like that's,

guaranteed that you just like you went through a really tough time and thankfully it's behind us and we won't have to deal with it ever again.

This can pop up at any, any time.

And I think maybe the first piece I wrote during COVID was like prepare for a pandemic during an era of low institutional trust, which Crystal now feels so quaint because the institutional trust in 2020 versus institutional trust in 2026 is such a different ballgame.

Completely

different ballgame.

It has been, where we are now, our ability to actually go along with any collective measures, if they were absolutely necessary, I mean, you and I do this for a living, and actually getting to the bottom of what's happening in these situations is difficult enough because the World Health Organization, the woman who's talking to you now from the World Health Organization, was also in charge of the COVID response.

So it's like,

You're getting your information either from her or from, I don't know, like, RFK Jr., who a lot of people don't have trust in.

So good luck to us.

Nor should they.

I guess.
