I thank the Chairman and thank our visitors for their presentations. I have a question for Mr. Herrick first of all. One of the areas about which he expressed concern, which I think we share, was the lack of clarity of the message by the Government. An example of that is obviously many older people thinking the advice to cocoon was legally underpinned and many were afraid to leave their homes for many months. Has Mr. Herrick come across other areas where there was public uncertainty or confusion about which public health measures were underpinned by law and which were just advisory?
