It has been a fascinating discussion thus far. Most people who will listen in today will say that contracting Covid has changed their lives, because of the legacy of Covid-19 and so forth. That cohort of people, which is large, will want answers about how their lives have changed from contracting Covid and the legacy with regard to chronic fatigue and all of the symptoms that come with long Covid. My first question is on the evolution of the virus. There was a period, from around February 2020 to March 2021, where nobody was vaccinated. Is there a correlation between the period when the vaccine was not readily available and those who contracted Covid-19 and have symptoms of long Covid to this day?
