Yes, I understand. I just will make the point if I may. We have 160 beds in the hospital but we have only three patients in there for Covid. I would ask the witnesses to reflect on that.

Can I ask the Chief Medical Officer if there is any update on hydroxychloroquine? Is there any update on the idea of using vitamin supplements, particularly vitamin D, and zinc supplements for the elderly? Does Dr. Holohan believe antibody testing can be used at any point in the future?

With respect to Waterford having the lowest incidence of Covid in the country, why can the regions not be allowed to open in advance of the major population centres?
