| Curing common illness and saving billions of dollars
Here it is. Finally - I have formulated a solution to the ongoing health problems of the world, saving billions of billions of dollars.
First we need to go into every country on the planet and round up all the wilde beastes and place them in protected jungle/woods/forests that are tended by trained people, thus keeping the currently unchecked flow of running waste materials from finding its way into our underground water wells, which in turn cause parisitic viruses and bacterium world-wide. Then completely revamp the entire landscape, housing, sanitation, and so forth, then promote population control and viola we have it.
This would really work. Look back at Englands beginnings and how they built castles and surrounded them with walls to protect their populations - then outside the walls were the few people allowed to farm the countryside which they then brought into the castle for the people inside; and the huntsmen - now obsolete - went riding into the woods and found birds and fish to bring in.
Maybe we did too much cross training in the 20th century?

|  Thank you
Just had to acknowledge your comment. Plus, here's another thing, which I'll bring into the other thread. Someone has asked what can we do to help with reformation of our current health care systems nationwide. Here it is:
Pos-tee-Vac: a new contraption for the older males of the nation and I don't begrudge them their toys, however, this is something that is covered by Medicare..... so..... in other words "I'm going, like, wow" you and I are paying alot of money in taxes for this contraption, but "you gotta be, all you can be". And so forth.

That horse might have been a pre-existing condition to her insurance company were she in the US ... |

| No. She just lied on her application by omitting that she had a genetic predisposition to riding...

(Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming---- Arkansas recently passed a law against it.)
