CI defintion --- This is an interesting thought - as circumstances impact us, there may be the temptation to change the definition of critical as we saw in the pandemic; However, I would venture to say that while the above is a reality, critical infrastructure should not be defined merely by the shifting issues of circumstances but rather what fundamental assets/services which, if not available, would severely degrade, disrupt or destroy the essentials of living a normal life. The distinction should be made between "critical" vs "important" - orange juice may be important but not critical as water; I can get an alternative to orange juice to supplement my diet but water is essential (critical) for living
