I have a quick follow-up to Deputy Durkan's question. We are seeing fewer ICU beds being taken up and fewer deaths. Is that just because it is a younger cohort who are at issue or is it also because treatments have improved? From a medical perspective, have we learned and have there been any improvements in the treatments such that fewer people progress to requiring ICU capacity?
