I thank Mr. Reid for his reply. Can any initiative be taken now, in light of the current trend, that might have the effect of concentrating people's minds at every level with a view to reversing the trend? I asked last week if there was any one particular issue. I know that there are a number of issues but is there one particular initiative to which the public will respond? Some sectors of the public are obviously not responding now, and one can understand that because the pandemic has been going on for a long time. That does not mean that the virus has got any weaker in the threat it poses or that it has gone away because it has not. If we could take one initiative, what would it be?
