I thank Dr. Nabarro for his contribution here this morning and for joining us. Reference was made to nursing homes and Dr. Nabarro mentioned the fact that quite a number of states have a high percentage of fatalities that occurred within nursing homes and the figures ranged from the early 20% to the situation in Ireland. Has he ascertained anything specific that those states with a lower incidence or recurrence of Covid-19 within nursing homes have done that perhaps other counties should emulate, and perhaps things that they should not emulate?
