Our Great Leader wants to move this high-security facility studying animal diseases from isolated Plum Island on Long Island Sound to the U.S. Mainland. If foot-and-mouth disease were to be spread from one of 5 prospective locations for the new facility, the economic losses from livestock would be up to 4 billion dollars.

Actually Time article says the cost if outbreak was on island would be $3B, so we are talking a $1B difference if on mainland.

"The five locations the U.S. is considering are Athens, Ga.; Manhattan, Kan.; Butner, N.C.; San Antonio; and Flora, Miss. A sixth alternative would be construction of a new research lab on Plum Island."
Something tells me, those living there won't be too happy.
