For example, maybe Poland could fund a disease-control effort in 49 different countries, including the USA.
The USA could expect about 48 countries to do likewise. We could have our diseases controlled by Slovakia, Ireland, Haiti, Singapore, South Sudan, Denmark, Laos, Pakistan, Chile, Peru, Ghana, Estonia, and dozens more.
