It was terrible to watch. I know one facility very close to me where many people died over a weekend and the protective clothing was not available. It was in the worst part of the emergency. We cannot do anything about that but, going forward, it is that we do not get ourselves into that situation again where we are depending on somebody to go to China and use a contact they have there, who may be an unreliable one. That is all.
