I thank the witnesses for their attendance. While this is not the panel we had expected, it has been very interesting discussion. My first question is for Dr. Ryan. We have spent an awful lot of time on the floor of the House and at this committee debating our testing capacity. The HSE has said that it has the capacity to conduct 100,000 tests per week. Dr. Ryan said that South Korea has 25% less capacity than us but was successful in not only flattening but crushing the curve.

That suggests that our processes around this are highly inefficient. Could the witnesses compare and contrast what is happening on this here and in South Korea?
