Okay. I will return to the presentation Dr. Holohan gave to members of the committee some months ago when the Delta variant first arrived? As he will recall, there were a number of projections. The scenarios were "optimistic", "central 1", "central 2" and "pessimistic".
I am looking at the optimistic scenario, which was 81,000 cases. Central scenario 1 was 187,000 cases and central scenario 2 was 408,000 cases. The pessimistic scenario was 681,000 cases between July, August and September. What category are we likely to fall into?
