I thank Dr. Mina for being here and wish his mother a very happy birthday today. I will not delay the meeting. Dr. Mina has given a very impressive presentation, as have our other witnesses. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, has consistently warned of the drawbacks of antigen testing. He has referred to the test as being 50% accurate. Does Dr. Mina agree with that sentiment?
