Does Mr. Moriarty believe that his case his helped by coming here this morning and saying that there is a one in 27 million chance of transmission of the virus onboard an aircraft? That is completely not credible. I have looked at the IATA evidence, which indicates that it is not possible to give an exact estimation and that the figure is only based on published reports. Is it credible for Mr. Moriarty to come and make statements of that nature? Does it not do a disservice to the role that aviation plays in the transmission of the virus?
