I totally agree and that is one of the practical problems with trying to implement something like this. It is a genuine practical issue that has always been the case. I want to ask about the section in Professor Staines's opening statement that refers to a vaccine. While there has been extremely interesting progress on finding a vaccine, we cannot rely on that or hope too much. Will Professor Staines talk to us about the advances we have seen in the treatment of Covid-19 and the effectiveness of same? Might that provide a countervailing balance of some kind to the development of a vaccine or to delays in the development of a vaccine?
