I thank Professor Nolan. The letter also states that those who run public transport are planning for 20% of normal capacity, pub and restaurant owners are planning for 30% and school authorities for 50%. The healthcare system is planning and operating at a reduced rate 20% to 50% throughout the system. Is it the understanding of our guests that these will be ongoing reductions in operational capacity due to an ongoing level of the virus in our society? Does he see the virus being reduced in the coming months to a point where, essentially, society, public services and businesses can fully open up to full capacity as before?
