Antimicrobial resistance has been growing into a serious threat, yet political action has fallen short through both lack of understanding and lack of will. The government must face up to this crisis and take the bold action needed to protect our future. #AMR #PublicHealth

I looked around to find a free alternative to mantis for unity decimation and found this: ramtype0.github.io/Meshia.MeshS... It's not AS good as Mantis but it is free and can do the job, Kumalys base mesh was already pretty low (20k) so I couldn't really decimate it down more than 2k polys o/
