An outbreak anywhere is an outbreak everywhere.

When you see in November and December an outbreak in China, just assume the next day it's in the United States when they say it's in China.

Just assume that virus got on a plane that night and flew to New York or flu, too.

Newark Airport and it's now in New York.

That has to be the operating mentality because you don't know that the virus didn't get on a plane.

What you need is one person to get on that plane in China and come to New York.

The way this virus transfers, that's all you need.

And you can assume two months later the virus is still going to be sitting on a park bench in China, waiting for you to get there.

That is the lesson.

And again, why do we need to learn the lesson?

Because they're talking about this happening again with this virus, where could mutate in China and get on a plane and come right back, or the next virus or the next pandemic?

Whose job is it?

Toe?

Warn us of these global pandemics, the president says.

It's the World Health Organization.

Uh, and thats why he's taken action against them, Not my field.

But he's right to ask the question, because this waas too little, too late.

And let's find out what happened.

So it doesn't happen again and it will happen again.

Bank on it.
