I have one more question for Dr. Ryan. He consistently referred to South Korea and Taiwan. I am not a scientist or a doctor so I do not know the merits of the suggestion, but I have heard it said that the situation there may be partly attributable to the far greater exposure to SARS more than ten years ago leading to a residual immunity to what is another coronavirus. Is that a theory to which Dr. Ryan would give any credit?
