It is everybody aged over 60. That is the reality. There is a group of people who are older, and I happen to be one of them and thankfully healthy at present. I speak to a lot of people and they are worried about their health. I am not criticising anybody here and I want to state this exceptionally clearly. We need to make sure that if this is what the WHO is saying, we must make sure it happens and make sure people who need masks can get the appropriate and proper ones. If somebody is more vulnerable by virtue of their age or a medical condition, we have to make sure they get medical masks.
