I thank the Chairman. That is better again. People are rightly concerned as to why we have a lockdown, in particular in one county. The pub industry has been closed down, despite it having no part to play in spreading the virus. There has been damage to the economy and mental health as well as other side effects, such as people who are waiting for a plethora of procedures. Can we now have a clear timeline or roadmap out of the current situation to try to help our economy to recover, address people's mental health, assist those going back to school and all the other issues? I ask for some clarity around that.
