I thank Dr. Henry for his presentation and for all his work over the past three to four months. It has been quite a difficult time for everyone involved, and strong leadership has been provided in the medical advice given and its delivery.

Many of the facilities for testing, etc., are being wound down and some have ceased to operate.

If there was a surge again tomorrow morning, what kind of time period would it take to have everything up and running and in full working order, in terms of being able to provide tests quickly again?
