WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:37.969 Thank you. this is food for thought thoughts 00:00:37.969 --> 00:00:42.229 if it were you by neogentrics now like i said 00:00:42.229 --> 00:00:44.750 before we're definitely going to finish the communication 00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:49.390 series uh as i find that it is apparently a very 00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:53.429 very big topic one that a lot of people have 00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:56.289 seemed to lost interest in or no longer pays 00:00:56.289 --> 00:00:59.229 any attention to or they deem is not necessary 00:00:59.229 --> 00:01:03.009 anymore but for the sake of the month september 00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:07.140 I know we're coming to a close and I know it's 00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:08.859 been a while since I've released a podcast. It's 00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:11.780 been busy over the last couple of weeks. We're 00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:13.140 going to go ahead and talk about the topic of 00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:18.900 the month, which is the suicide prevention. September 00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:23.700 is National Suicide Prevention Month. The thing 00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:29.959 is, you know, with suicide, there's no single 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:35.459 cause. It most often occurs when, you know, stressors 00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:39.060 exceed their current coping abilities of, you 00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:41.099 know, someone suffering from a mental health 00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:44.299 condition. I mean, it can be a different number 00:01:44.299 --> 00:01:52.799 of things. You know, a person's mood can be represented 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.040 by a number of things. And it can cause a lot 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.180 of emotional or mental stress. Losing someone 00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:02.340 to suicide or struggling with a mental illness 00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.519 can feel like no one understands what you're 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.659 going through. And, you know, with that, they've 00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:13.860 created what they call this color spectrum. Okay. 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:22.400 First being white. It's a loss of a child. Red 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.319 being the loss of a spouse or a partner. Gold, 00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:31.879 loss of a parent. Orange, loss of a sibling. 00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:37.419 Purple, loss of a relative or a friend. Silver, 00:02:37.539 --> 00:02:41.479 loss of a first responder or military personnel. 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:49.080 Green, a personal struggle or attempt. Blue, 00:02:49.219 --> 00:02:53.479 supporting suicide prevention. Or teal, a friend 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.479 or family of someone who struggled or has attempted 00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:02.740 such. This color spectrum names a couple of reasons 00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:05.860 and things that can cause a person to go into 00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:10.080 that condition. With blue being one of the few 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.120 exceptions. I personally, myself, my favorite 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.539 color is blue. That's typically how I feel pretty 00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:18.860 much most of the time, but I'm not down. I'm 00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.180 supporting of suicide prevention as I've helped 00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:25.180 a lot of people already prevent. And prevent 00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:28.580 them from doing that. It's not a way out. It 00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:31.159 may seem like the easiest way out, but it's not. 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.039 So, we're going to take a short break. And we're 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.879 going to talk about four main topics regarding 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.259 suicide. Alright? First being warning signs and 00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:47.639 risk factors. Next will be the statistics. Follow 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.819 that with treatment. And some information for 00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:55.939 journalists as well. Okay? We'll be right back. 00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:33.620 So, talking about suicide, let's cover the first 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:37.399 thing, risk factors and warning signs. This brings 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:42.600 up that question, what leads to suicide? Like 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.800 I said before, there's no one single cause, and 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.240 I've listed a few examples with the color chart. 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.040 It often occurs when, like I said before, the 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.870 person who's stressing, It reaches their limit 00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:02.689 or health issues converge and health issues converge 00:05:02.689 --> 00:05:08.949 to create that kind of feeling of being hopeless 00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:14.529 or a mental state of despair. It creates a type 00:05:14.529 --> 00:05:21.370 of depression. And it becomes very common amongst 00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:26.579 mostly young people in their teenage years. into 00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:33.019 their 20s. And if left undiagnosed or untreated, 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:37.660 well, you get the idea. Conditions like depression, 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:42.600 anxiety, and substance problems, especially when 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.540 unaddressed, increase the risk for it. And yet, 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.839 it's important to note that most people who actively 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.180 manage their mental health conditions go on to 00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:57.019 engage in life. Now, With that being said though, 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.819 there are warning signs. Something to look out 00:06:01.819 --> 00:06:04.120 for when concerned for a person if they have 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.100 that mindset or may start presenting that they 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:15.600 are going to do it. This is, how do I put it? 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.860 You can see that their behavior has changed or 00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:24.379 they're completely different. It's usually related 00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:27.040 to a painful event, loss, or change, like I mentioned 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.600 before. Most people who take their lives exhibit 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.980 one or more warning signs, either through what 00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:39.019 they say or what they do, or if they act like 00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:44.720 they're about to... All hope is lost. Right? 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.879 So, let's look at the talk aspect. We'll pull 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.639 up a list here from the American... website for 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.399 suicide prevention, the American Society. According 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.560 to this, and I'm actually getting this from information 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.939 from respected officials. So, you know, it's 00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:11.699 legitimate information. If a person talks about 00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:15.240 killing themselves, feeling hopeless, having 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.720 no reason to live, being a burden to others, 00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:24.230 feeling trapped, Or having unbearable pain. These 00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:26.649 could be signs that they're heading in that direction. 00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:34.209 If their mood changes. They're depressed. They 00:07:34.209 --> 00:07:38.050 have a lot of anxiety. Loss of interest. Irritable. 00:07:38.829 --> 00:07:42.589 Humiliation. Shame. Agitation. Anger. Relief. 00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:48.250 Sudden improvements that have no explanation 00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:54.089 behind them. or their behavior that may show 00:07:54.089 --> 00:07:56.290 signs of risk, especially if it's related to 00:07:56.290 --> 00:07:58.870 a painful event, a loss, or a change, like I 00:07:58.870 --> 00:08:01.889 mentioned before, such as the increased use of 00:08:01.889 --> 00:08:05.569 alcohol or drugs, looking for a way to end their 00:08:05.569 --> 00:08:08.250 lives, such as searching online for methods. 00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:12.009 You can see this in their web history. Usually, 00:08:12.149 --> 00:08:14.350 even if they delete it, if you try typing something 00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:17.529 in on their device, you'll see it in their previous 00:08:17.529 --> 00:08:22.680 searches. With drawing for activities, isolating 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.160 from family and friends, sleeping too much or 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.759 not enough, visiting or calling people to say 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.500 goodbye for random and no reason whatsoever, 00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:34.460 giving away prized possessions. Now, that one 00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:38.200 should be a red flag for most people. Aggression, 00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:43.840 fatigue, things of that nature. Now, there are 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.340 a lot of risk factors involved. with suicide 00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:49.700 and there are a lot of characteristics and conditions 00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:52.340 that increase the chain chances that a person 00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:57.039 may try to do this um historical factors include 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.679 uh previous suicide attempts family history of 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.000 suicide if that's the case you definitely should 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.379 be watching them uh childhood abuse neglect trauma 00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:12.000 uh being beaten things of that nature uh cutting 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.279 themselves or Hurting other people around them 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.740 because they can't do it themselves. This can 00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:21.240 lead to that. There's health factors. Mental 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.080 health conditions, like I said before, such as 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.620 depression. Substance use problems. Bipolar disorder. 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.080 Now, don't get that confused. There are some 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.539 people who are naturally bipolar. Schizophrenia. 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:39.860 Some people are born that way. They can't do 00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.759 anything about that, but there is treatment for 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.440 them. Personality traits of aggression, mood 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.200 changes, and poor relationships. Conduct disorder. 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.879 If they're normally not that way and they have 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.980 good conduct, then this is definitely a red flag. 00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:59.179 Anxiety disorders. Serious physical health conditions 00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:03.299 include pain. Traumatic brain injury. That last 00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:05.779 one you should probably keep an eye out for. 00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:09.080 But then if they've had a traumatic brain injury 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.200 at some point, the doctors are already monitoring. 00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:16.370 The last would be environmental factors. If they 00:10:16.370 --> 00:10:18.850 have access to lethal means, including firearms 00:10:18.850 --> 00:10:23.769 and drugs, be aware. Prolonged stress, such as 00:10:23.769 --> 00:10:26.870 harassment, bullying. Yes, bullying and harassment. 00:10:27.470 --> 00:10:30.649 Even relationship problems or unemployment can 00:10:30.649 --> 00:10:34.389 cause people to do this. Stressful life events 00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:36.929 like rejection. Some people can't take it well. 00:10:39.470 --> 00:10:41.710 Have gone so long and then that they finally 00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:43.450 put themselves out there and they can't take 00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:47.210 the action the results Divorce financial crisis 00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:49.990 being one of the big ones other life transitions 00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:54.269 or loss exposure to another person's suicide 00:10:54.269 --> 00:11:01.389 or graphic Sensualization or basically how to 00:11:01.389 --> 00:11:06.519 put this in layman's terms If someone else watches, 00:11:06.580 --> 00:11:09.080 watch someone else commit suicide and they can't 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.500 take what they just saw and they don't know how 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:13.679 to process it, it could end up leading them down 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.220 the exact same path because the way they'll see 00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:19.840 it is that's a way out. That guy took it. He 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.960 succeeded. Why can't I? So there's that. We'll 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.720 take a short break here and we'll move to the 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:45.649 next section. I've given you the causes. Let 00:11:45.649 --> 00:11:47.750 me go ahead and get some quick data out of the 00:11:47.750 --> 00:11:49.830 way. And I'm going to explain what it means so 00:11:49.830 --> 00:11:54.009 you're not completely lost. Okay? So, you're 00:11:54.009 --> 00:11:56.809 kind of wondering, okay, great, suicide prevention, 00:11:57.169 --> 00:12:01.889 why should I care? Okay? And if I do care, why 00:12:01.889 --> 00:12:04.590 is it even important? Why should it, why am I 00:12:04.590 --> 00:12:07.850 even talking about it? Okay? Well, first things 00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:13.779 first. While most of the data that's been presented 00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:18.600 already is accurate to a point, the numbers actually 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.659 should be a lot higher than that. They shouldn't 00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:26.059 be basically what they are. Now, this being said, 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.500 though, the reason why I'm bringing the point 00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:33.840 to this is that because, well, one, I nearly 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.980 lost a friend to suicide, like I said before, 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.679 and I managed to get them to stop and reconsider 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.009 their life choices. This being said, suicide 00:12:43.009 --> 00:12:45.870 is the 10th leading cause of death in the United 00:12:45.870 --> 00:12:50.809 States alone. And, you know, every year, an estimated 00:12:50.809 --> 00:12:55.389 45 ,000 Americans die by suicide. You know, and 00:12:55.389 --> 00:12:59.730 for every 25 attempts, suicide costs the United 00:12:59.730 --> 00:13:03.629 States at least a minimum of $69 billion annually. 00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:11.580 With that being said, you know, the annual Age 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:18.000 -adjusted suicide rate, well, it's about 13 .4 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.419 per 100 ,000 individuals. I mean, how do I put 00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:27.000 this? On average, there's 123 suicides per day. 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.360 For our own accounts, about 51 % of those suicides 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.080 are with some type of gun. Men die by suicide 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:45.120 3 .53... How do I put this? Men die 4 % more 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.039 often than women, okay? White males accounted 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.679 for 7 to 10 suicides in 2016. Like, the rate 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.860 of suicide is higher in middle -aged white men 00:13:55.860 --> 00:14:00.179 in particular. Why? I don't know. I honestly 00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:02.440 don't know. Like, I've been trying to figure 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.399 it out. You know, I'm not saying that other races 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.990 aren't that way. It's just that... Most of the 00:14:10.990 --> 00:14:15.169 statistics, most of what they found to be true 00:14:15.169 --> 00:14:18.409 was mostly for that particular race at the time. 00:14:18.809 --> 00:14:20.789 And if you don't believe me, like I said, you 00:14:20.789 --> 00:14:22.450 can go and look it up on the American Society 00:14:22.450 --> 00:14:28.110 for Suicide Prevention. The rate of individuals' 00:14:28.409 --> 00:14:32.590 death per year has gone up since 2007 by about 00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:43.289 15 ,000. With that being said, the rates vary 00:14:43.289 --> 00:14:49.950 per age range. Anyone who's under the age of 00:14:49.950 --> 00:14:59.029 15, it's less likely that they're going to kill 00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:04.429 themselves. But it seems that it stems between, 00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:08.149 and it starts at the age of 10 going up. That 00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:10.090 we have to really start worrying about our children. 00:15:10.789 --> 00:15:13.830 Or any children in general. Running into any 00:15:13.830 --> 00:15:16.830 traumatic experiences that. For whatever reason. 00:15:17.490 --> 00:15:20.429 Could cause them to. Want to kill themselves. 00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:31.049 Okay. So with that being said. I'm going to keep 00:15:31.049 --> 00:15:35.759 this as short as I can. Back in 2016, the highest 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.379 U .S. suicide rate was 15 .7, was amongst whites, 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.720 and the second highest rate was 13 .37 amongst 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:47.360 American Indians, Alaskan natives as well. Much 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.039 lower and roughly similar rates were found amongst 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.639 Asians and Pacific Islanders, and black and African 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.570 Americans, ironically, was 6 .3. Note that the 00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:01.429 CDC reported Hispanic origins separately from 00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:03.649 the primary racial and ethnic groups of whites, 00:16:03.669 --> 00:16:06.769 blacks, and so on and so forth, since individuals 00:16:06.769 --> 00:16:10.570 in all these groups may be also Hispanic in nature 00:16:10.570 --> 00:16:14.450 as well, since they are basically mixed into 00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:17.509 almost every other race. That brings me to suicide 00:16:17.509 --> 00:16:20.730 methods. In 2016, and this is when most of these 00:16:20.730 --> 00:16:22.570 statistics were taken, and it's changed a lot 00:16:22.570 --> 00:16:25.909 since then, firearms were the most common method 00:16:25.909 --> 00:16:29.039 of death. by suicide, accounting for a little 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:34.259 more than about half of all suicidal deaths in 00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:36.399 the first place. The most common methods were 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.179 suffocating, including hanging, and even poisoning 00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:42.799 when they couldn't get access to firearms. But 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.240 I mean, in retrospect to about half of the time 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.299 it being that, poisoning was about 15 % and suffocation 00:16:50.299 --> 00:16:54.759 25%, leaving about 8 % or so with some other 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.980 random attempt that they didn't really know what 00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:59.759 it was until they actually did a diagnosis and 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.200 checked the bodies. Now, no complete count is 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.259 kept of the suicide attempts in America. However, 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.799 every year, the CDC gathers data from hospitals 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.400 on non -fatal injuries from self -harm, as well 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.500 as survey data, because when someone hurts themselves 00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:16.599 and someone else finds out, more than likely 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:21.400 they end up in the hospital. Back in 2015, Over 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.079 500 ,000 people visited a hospital for injuries 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.259 due to self -harm, and the number suggested that 00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:29.039 for every reported suicidal death, approximately 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.640 11 .5 people were in a hospital for self -harm 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.240 -related injuries. However, because of the way 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.960 this data was collected, they're not even able 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.000 to distinguish international suicide attempts 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.200 from non -intentional ones. Some of the injuries 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.559 may have been accidental. So, I mean, you can't 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.740 really tell the difference. But based on the 00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:52.660 National Survey of Drug Use back in 2016 and 00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:55.940 mental health, it was estimated that about 0 00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:59.839 .5 % of the adults between the age of 18 and, 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.000 well, not between, about 18 years old and older, 00:18:04.099 --> 00:18:06.759 we'll just say it that way, have at least made 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.559 one suicidal attempt and then didn't do it again 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.839 for some of them. This translates to approximately 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.579 1 .3 million adults. Adult females reported a 00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:25.279 suicide attempt 1 .2 times as often as males. 00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:27.799 For a breakdown by gender and race was not even 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.299 available at the time, so you can't even have 00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:33.079 to worry about that. And based on the 2015 Youth 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.460 Risk Behavior Survey, 8 .6 % of youth... In the 00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:40.799 grades of 9 to 12, reported they've had at least 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.460 one suicide attempt in the last 12 months. This 00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:49.019 means that most of those attempts of people trying 00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:54.880 to kill themselves start in high school. This 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.339 is the reason why I'm pointing this out. And 00:18:58.339 --> 00:19:01.000 the irony in this is that girls attempted it 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.809 twice as often as the boys did. meaning that 00:19:05.809 --> 00:19:08.869 they were more at risk. Approximately 2 .8 % 00:19:08.869 --> 00:19:11.630 reported making a suicide attempt that required 00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:17.029 treatment by a doctor or nurse or worse. Let 00:19:17.029 --> 00:19:20.170 me put this in a nutshell. When it comes to suicide 00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:24.130 and suicide attempts, there are rate differences 00:19:24.130 --> 00:19:26.990 depending on demographic characteristics such 00:19:26.990 --> 00:19:29.710 as age, gender, ethnicity, and race. Nevertheless, 00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:33.140 Suicide occurs in all demographic groups. It 00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:36.599 doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.220 what race you are. It can still happen to you. 00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:45.839 Okay? Now, one little fun fact before I end this 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.880 podcast, and I'm going to break this up into 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:56.460 multiple parts. Okay? On average, one person 00:19:56.460 --> 00:20:03.490 dies by suicide every three hours. Okay? Now, 00:20:03.609 --> 00:20:11.069 with that being said, in Texas alone, the number 00:20:11.069 --> 00:20:13.710 of deaths by suicide isn't nearly as high as 00:20:13.710 --> 00:20:16.869 some other areas. Matter of fact, its state rank 00:20:16.869 --> 00:20:21.089 is 40 out of all of them. And there's 51 states. 00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:26.650 The rate per population... And Texas versus the 00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:32.329 National is 12 .5. The National is 13 .42. And 00:20:32.329 --> 00:20:34.829 like I said before, the National, the number 00:20:34.829 --> 00:20:39.250 of deaths by suicide was 3 ,000, about 3 ,400 00:20:39.250 --> 00:20:43.430 something. The National is 44 ,000. So keep this 00:20:43.430 --> 00:20:46.609 in mind. Just because your state doesn't have 00:20:46.609 --> 00:20:49.789 a high rating for it, doesn't mean it's not possible. 00:20:50.029 --> 00:20:52.990 And don't ever think you're exempt. Because it 00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:56.380 can happen to anybody. With that being said, 00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:58.839 though, enjoy the rest of your day, and I thank 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.440 you guys for listening. I look forward to part 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.880 two. I'll cover a little bit more information 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.859 on it, and then I'll talk about how to stop it. 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.900 All right. Enjoy the rest of your day.
