That is also related to the number of claims in 2019 compared to 2020. One might have thought that when everything was shutting down, the number of claims would also have been affected and been reduced, however, it seems to be the same figure. Does Mr. Breen expect a reduction in the number of claims in 2021 and 2022 as a result of less activity during the pandemic or does he believe there will be an increase? I welcome any insight he might have into that at present
