Well, i think the data i showed, especially that curve, pretty clearly demonstrates that that we can identify the vast majority but not all cases within 21 days. So when were talking about declaring a country free of disease, then twice that, 42 days is the criteria that w. H. O. Issues. And i think intuitively you can run the graph out there and you can see there are no new cases at the far end. So it seems to me that thats, that additional safety precaution is clear . No . Obviously not. One more response, yes. What would you say to that second little hunt when you looked at your very nice geometric distribution, roundabout 14 days, it looks like there was a small second peak . And i wonder, if an alert reporter were to ask you, does that suggest that the time point one should be later and that the true doubling is to take care of unexpected, unrecognized second outbreaks . Or is it really the doubling of the that, you know . Thats a good observation and i think you need to just keep

We have a lot of demographic factors putting it higher, but im very proud of the business were in, and the job that hospital its doing as part of the Healthcare System in america today. [applause] well, all these people are really smart. I dont need to ask them probing question. I prefer to let them talk. But i want too ask you i want to take the next step here. And if youre basically the only layman here, and okay, were sort of stumbling in the right direction. Lets posit that. And science is out there, as patrick said, but we have to figure out a way to make it accessible and usable to all of us. Given where we are, either in Public Health or in the Healthcare System itself, the Delivery System, concisely as you can, what do you think the greatest challenges we still face are, and what are the greatest opportunities, one or two of each.
