Let us hope it is not the case, but if those restrictions are extended, is it more likely that we will again see an announcement a couple of hours, or 24 hours before it happens or will there be a better lead-in this time where people will have more time to digest it? Part of the problem the last time, if Dr. Glynn can appreciate, is that within a couple of hours, restaurants were told they had to close, which caused much shock, it must be said. It was difficult. Will we see the same situation again where it is almost on the eve of a decision being made that people are being told as opposed to having a longer lead-in?
