Dr. Lambert's estimation of one in 100 is about right. I was on the train up from Limerick this morning and that is what I saw in shops, on public transport and so on. The worry we all have is that if we end up in a particularly serious situation again in the winter, how to flip that on its head again in order to ensure public buy-in. I do not know if we will ever get that buy-in again. Most people have been through this and do not want to go through it again. I am not talking about the virus but about the social response. We had everyone on board in March and April of 2020 but it is the opposite now. I thank Dr. Lambert for everything he is doing. I apologise again for being late to the meeting.
