Dr. Ronan Glynn:

I am disappointed at the high levels but I am not surprised. The Senator asked if we are surprised that we have not made greater progress. We are not. We saw levels of infection in this country that we have never seen previously and neither have many countries internationally. Unfortunately, when one gets to levels as high as what we have experienced, it will take a long time. The pressures that we are seeing currently in the hospitals and ICU are reflective of what we have seen in the community in terms of case numbers in recent weeks.
