The last time the entire world dealt with something of this magnitude was the Spanish Flu over 100 yrs ago, and we, unfortunately, left ourselves very vulnerable in a modern culture by relying on profits/costs over safety and security concerns. If you remember a few years back, this was the case,only with our pets. The number of animals that were dying from food items and chew sticks/treats that was specifically problematic for dogs. Kidney failures and system shut downs for animals having literally been poisoned by these imported items, that cost $5 less per bag.  |
And thus the unintended consequences of "globalism"
That and not being able to understand anyone who is providing technical support on the phone
