Since the dawn of human conflict, ever since there has been conflict and destruction, disease has almost always followed. On top of the direct injuries from bombings, the lack of food, the breakdown in water systems, sewage systems, etc., and the situations people are living in, it seems that the risk of the spread of disease is greatly heightened. I wonder if there is something Mr. Whyte can say on that and the situation in terms of infectious diseases or anything like that. Is that an escalating situation?
